Download Current Release: Bochs 1.2.1

Bochs 1.2.1 (June 12, 2001): Bochs 1.2.1 is a bugfix release based on version 1.2. Bochs 1.2 includes usability improvements such as improved control over error handling, an interactive disk image creator, and features including dual hard drive support, multiple processor emulation (SMP), and VNC remote viewer mode.

BOCHS BINARIES
All binaries include Bochs plus a 10 mb disk image of DLX Linux to get you started. We now have an RPM for Linux on PowerPC, which was produced from a CVS snapshot on 6/6/2001. This is NOT the same as the 1.2 release, but it is very close. Thanks to Anders Nielsen for working through the RPM build process.

If you are wishing that there was a binary release for your platform, so do we! Contact Bryce Denney if you would like to help support binaries on your machine.

BOCHS SOURCE
Because Bochs is a cross-platform application, it is distributed as source code in a TAR file. The primary file to download contains the Bochs sources, documentation, and the custom BIOS file. If you are using a UNIX platform, this is all you need. For Windows or Mac, because you cannot run the configure script on your machine to generate Makefiles, you will also need to grab a package of Makefiles, which are distributed separately.


Download CVS Snapshot

NOTE: As of June 15, snapshots should update nightly again. However we can no longer generate makefiles on Source Forge as we did before. Bryce is trying to get this working by generating makefiles offsite and then copying them here.

CVS Snapshot: Bochs, like many other open source projects, uses CVS (Concurrent Version System) to keep track of source code. Unlike the current release, the CVS version of the sources contains everything the developers have written to this date, and it can change daily (or even hourly). As a result, the CVS version of Bochs will have more features and bug fixes than the release, but also it may be somewhat less stable. You can decide if you prefer to go exploring and try out our newest code, or stick with the better-tested release. Since the CVS sources are always in motion, we take a snapshot each night at some late hour after most developers should be in bed.

The CVS snapshots are provided as a convenience only. Of course, you could also get the same information using CVS itself. Some of the benefits of using CVS directly are: you can get any release or version, view the log messages that say what files were changed, and make patches very easily with "cvs diff -u".
