86Box v4.1.1

This is the March 2024 update to 86Box, bringing bugfixes over the original v4.1 release and some new hardware.

As always, the work-in-progress build currently available to our Patreon supporters will be updated accordingly.

Important notes

ROM set update

A minor change was made to the ROM set. Users of the base Sound Blaster AWE64 (not the Value or Gold) should update the ROM set, as an accurate CT4380 Plug and Play ROM was located. If this update is not present, the card will disappear from emulated machines and the sound card selector until the ROM set is updated.

The newly-added machines also require an updated ROM set, otherwise they will not be listed in the machine selector.
