Just wondering if there are any plans to include any opcodes specific to the 486 and Pentium/PentiumMMX processors to the DOSBox emulated CPU.

Or wouldn't there be any benefit in doing this?

Find a game that uses something not yet supported, and it will be in soon. AFAIK, there are already a few commonly-used pentium opcodes supported, but no DOS game seems to use MMX. Many of the newer opcodes are only used in conjunction with the OS (Win/Linux/...) itself, so these aren't needed either.

Just for the history books 😁, "Heaven 7" (2000' demo, intro) uses MMX in it's DOS version (windows version is also included). If started in dosbox, reports no MMX support (EDIT:It is required to run successfully program) 😲

I would also like to add a title that detects mmx in DOS (don't know if it uses it). It is the absolutely outstanding Little Big Adventure 2: Twinsen's Odyssey. 😀

PS: This is not a request for mmx support or anything, I am just contributing. 😉
