WARNING

  • This is a pre-release, so please don't use this for any productive purposes.
  • This pre-release has been made for Windows users only due to its only fix not being relevant on Linux.

Changes compared to v2.0.6.5617

  • Thanks to Mizuki, we now have more flexible Windows-specific code.
  • As per the depreciation policy, the old USB Tablet checkbox has been removed for good.
  • The VM table on the database can now save information which you would set when starting the VM (excluding TPM information).
    • The bootfrom part has been added afterwards.
  • The VM dialogs now show UI elements for those settings.
  • The time settings can now be enabled and disabled in the VM dialogs using the RTC checkbox.
  • The floppy seems to be able to get set on the dialogs.
  • The newcomers can now be saved onto the database permanently.
  • The CD Browse buttons work now.
  • A class for storing VMs is on its way to replace the bad temporary file saving practice with good OOP practice.
  • The edit VM dialog is being adapted to the new OOP-based approach.
  • The Win2k checkbox is to be removed because of the OOP adaption.
    • The Edit VM dialog will now turn the Win2k optimisations off regardless of what you really want.
  • The Edit VM dialog would now use the new OOP-based initialisation instead of the file-based one.
    • A log text had to be adjusted.
  • A new Start VM dialog has already been implemented.
  • The vmdata converter has been removed again.
  • Editing the VM is now implemented.
  • One-time edit is implemented.
  • The HDA stuff had to be migrated.

Foreported

From v2.0.7.5618

  • When creating new VMs, you can now choose custom BIOS files again.

From v2.0.8.5619

  • The keyboard layout is now set correctly.

From v2.0.9.5620 (kinda)

  • ARM machines are now defaulted to "virt" by EmuGUI. (or at least they should be)

Changes compared to v2.1.0.5702_dev

  • EmuGUI now utilises the Win32 API on Windows. This is to fix an issue where EmuGUI is not able to determine the Documents folder properly.

Known issues

  • Unfortunately, you might have to run EmuGUI from the terminal on Linux.
  • You will not be notified about any more updates for now as update.txt will not be updated.
  • As for the TPM functionality, you must run mkdir (insert-path-here) and swtpm socket --tpm2 --tpmstate dir=(insert-path-here) --ctrl type=unixio,path=(insert-path-here)/swtpm-sock --log level=20 in a terminal (You can leave the --tpm2 argument away tho if you plan to use TPM 1.2 instead).
  • The QCOW2 format is prone to not work for some Windows VMs.
  • The new settings aren't applied yet. However, as the way to temporarily save VM settings is to be changed anyway, this won't be fixed until then.
