Box64 0.4.4 released today as the newest version of this open-source user-space Linux x86_64 emulator for running binaries on 64-bit ARM, RISC-V, and LoongArch systems.

For end users one of the most noticeable changes with Box64 0.4.4 is the introduction of a new box64-configurator app. The new box64-configurator is written in Python and brings improvements for managing profiles to make it easier to tune the behavior of different settings on a per-binary/app basis.

Last year Box64 introduced the DynaCache as a disk cache for generated native code from x86_64. WIth the Box64 0.4.4 release, DynaCache is now being enabled by default.

Box64 0.4.4 also brings improvements for better emulation accuracy to help it run more games protected by Digital Rights Management restrictions. There are also new opcodes for RISC-V and many speed improvements with its LoongArch CPU support.
