Upgrade Notes and Prerequisites
- The readme on GitHub has more instructions, and is usually more up-to-date than this page.
- Never mix different versions of BizHawk. Keep each version in its own folder.
- Windows users: Don't forget to run the prereq installer first!
- Due to how BizHawk has evolved, earlier releases (1.x and 2.x before 2.4) might not work unless you also run an older version of the prereq installer.
- BizHawk versions starting from 2.0 require a 64-bit OS. A "backport" release, 1.13.2, is available for users of Windows XP, 7, or 8.1 32-bit.
- Linux users: Distro-specific build instructions / packages are linked from the readme. A list of known bugs affecting the latest release can be found in issue #1430.

- meta: The .NET 8 SDK is now required for working with BizHawk. The VS installer will automatically include this with VS2022 updates.
- Fix confusing failures when an
ApiContainerprop is accidentally marked with[RequiredApi]/[OptionalApi] - Ext. tools now receive
ToolFormUpdateType.Generalevents regularly while paused (and while unpaused! you should have been checking the enum anyway)- If you're subclassing
ToolFormBase, this will have no impact on your existing code, but you can choose to overrideGeneralUpdateto make use of it
- If you're subclassing
- Fix signature of
IMemoryApi.WriteFloat(the value param is now float and not double—the implementation was converting it to a float anyway) - Add an overload
IGuiApi.WithSurface(DisplaySurfaceID, Action<IGuiApi>)and deprecate the old one- For the time being, there will be no difference between using the lambda parameter as instructed, and discarding it and continuing to make calls to whatever
IGuiApiinstance you were using.
- For the time being, there will be no difference between using the lambda parameter as instructed, and discarding it and continuing to make calls to whatever
- Remove the deprecated
IGameInfoApilibrary - Remove the deprecated attributes
[RomWhitelist],[SingleRom(CoreSystem, string)], and[SingleSystem(CoreSystem)] - Rewrite most of
GuiApi(the implementation ofIGuiApi). Parity with the old implementation is a goal, but there may be bugs
