Developed Linux CD/DVD drive support for the 86Box repository, enabling Linux users to access physical CD/DVD drives through new IOCTL implementations and an integrated drive management menu. This work focused on achieving cross-platform parity by extending system programming capabilities within a C++ codebase, addressing a key gap for Linux environments. The feature involved designing and implementing low-level IOCTL operations to communicate with hardware devices, as well as building user interface components for drive selection and management. By leveraging expertise in C++, Linux development, and system programming, the contribution expanded 86Box’s functionality and improved the experience for Linux users seeking hardware integration.
