.. note::
* This manager is currently a preview, with a limited feature set expanding upon the previous standalone `86Box Manager <https://github.com/86Box/86BoxManager>`_ app. Other managers with more features can still be used.
* Running 86Box directly no longer creates or starts an emulated machine in the current folder like on previous versions. The ``-P``/``--vmpath`` command line option can be used to start a machine directly instead.
* The manager can be fully disabled (restoring the behavior of previous 86Box versions when launched without specifying a virtual machine path on the command line) by adding ``vmm_disabled = 1`` to the global configuration file, which is stored at one of the following locations based on the platform:
* **Windows**: ``C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\86Box\86box_global.cfg``
* **Linux**: ``~/.config/86Box/86box_global.cfg``
* **macOS**: ``~/Library/Preferences/86Box/86box_global.cfg``
