# 86Box Manager
**86Box Manager** is an optional configuration manager for the [86Box emulator](https://github.com/86Box/86Box). It's released under the MIT license, so it can be freely distributed with 86Box. See the `LICENSE` file for license information and `AUTHORS` for a complete list of contributors and authors.
It's written in C# with Windows Forms. Please see the [wiki](https://github.com/86Box/86BoxManager/wiki) for additional information.
## Features
* Powerful, lightweight and completely optional
* Create multiple isolated virtual machines
* Give each virtual machine a unique name and an optional description
* Run multiple virtual machines at the same time
* Control virtual machines from the Manager (pause, reset, etc.)
* A tray icon so the Manager window doesn't get in your way
## System requirements
System requirements are the same as for 86Box. Additionally, the following is required:
* [86Box 3.0](https://github.com/86Box/86Box/releases) or later (earlier builds don't support all the features the Manager expects)
* [.NET Framework 4.6](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net46)
