Thanks to Battler, leilei, John Elliott, Mahod, basic2004 and ecksemmess for contributions towards this release.
Are you aware of any cycle-accurate 286/386/486 emulator?
I know the MAME people strive to be crazy accurate, so I’d guess their core may be.. Check out TAKEDA toshiya’s MSDOS Player, that uses their i286/i386 core.
Yes, I checked that the MAME i386 emulator is cycle accurate (well, I didn’t check it performance-wise, but the source code does have a table with the cycles spent at each instruction depending on the CPU model). Thanks!
Cool,glad to have helped!
A part from those new features, 86Box also features Adaptec 154xB and Buslogic (542B ISA and 958D PCI) support.
Neozeed, any chance you can merge your network patches into this?
I’m not all that sure on what is required to do so.. I merely tweaked someone else’s network code, that now I’ve forgotten who’s … I guess I can try.
In case you’re interested.

SDLPoP
SDLPoP is an open-source port of Prince of Persia that runs natively on Windows and Linux.

Version 1.17 was released by David on 5 February 2017.
A (potentially unstable) ‘bleeding edge’ version is available at GitHub.
The file doc/Readme.txt has a list of all contributors.
The level editor apoplexy can be used to edit SDLPoP levels: Native_PoP1_Executables_and_apoplexy.pdf
