This is the fifth beta release of DOSBox Pure, a hotfix for 0.9.5.

Fixes since 0.9.5:

• In some cases a newly installed OS image wouldn't show in the Run Installed Operating System
• Unable to load harddisk or CD-ROM images when a frontend uses relative paths to the system directory
• Fix crash on core startup on some non-Windows devices

We're skipping 0.9.4 and we're going straight to 0.9.5!

This is the fourth beta release and thirtieth release overall of DOSBox Pure.

Another big update adding support for easy use of operating systems like Windows 95/98 and 3dfx Voodoo emulation.

Huge thanks to the maintainers of DOSBox and the various forks that are out there. For this release in particular I'd like to thank Taewong who started the DOSBox SVN Daum branch a long time ago and @joncampbell123 who heads the DOSBox-X project, which continues its mission of increasing capabilities and compatibility of DOSBox. Also thanks goes to kekko who created the DOSBox integration of the 3dfx voodoo emulation, based on the work of the SST-1/2 emulator by Aaron Giles from the MAME team.

Installing and Booting an Operating System

When loading content with a bootable CD-ROM image or both a CD-ROM image and a bootable floppy disk image, a new option [ Boot and Install New Operating System ] will be available in the start menu. After using that option to create a hard disk image and installing an operating system, any loaded content (i.e. ZIP files or CD images) can be loaded into that operating system. See the documentation of the feature for more details.
