New Box64 v0.3.4 released

A new released of Box64 appeared. While previous version introduced lots of new features, this version is more of a stabilisation released.

For example, last version introduced Native Flags, this version fixed many bugs introduced with it. So more things are now running.

Same for Box32. Many fixes have been done and box32 is running more things. Including Steam… Altho, there are still some stability issues, especially when downloading things. Also, steam is still not starting on RV64 (black login window) or on LA64 (some crashing happens even before the login window).

But there were some new features introduced. Less flashy features, like parameters per dlls or per linux libraries. Or more colorful logs on the console, with easier to see Box64 and Box32 prefixed logs.

Also, more worked has been done on the quality of the CPU emulation, and on other emulation behaviors to have more DRM protected games working. When using Steam (or Rare / Heroic), some game are protected with various DRM and App Launcher. Things like EAapp, Rockstar Launcher. DRM like Enigma or Denuvo. Well, Box64 now have better compatibility with all that. While not perfect, this is certainly a big step forward, as you can see in the new video to announce box64 v0.3.4, a lot of those games have some level of DRM (note that some of those drm rely on Windows Syscall emulation, wich, for now, rely on 48bits address space, and so might not be available on some Raspberry PI OS, RiSC-V, and Android configurations)

So, go download that new box64 on http://https;//github.com/ptitSeb/box64 and enjoy some new games!
