It is still quite rudimentary and lacks many of the features found in MS-DOS, but it is sufficient for installing and running most DOS games.ĭOSBox has a lively, user-supported community forum hosted at VOGONS (Very Old Games On New Systems). In theory, any MS-DOS or PC-DOS (referred to commonly as 'DOS') application should run in DOSBox, but the emphasis has been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication, networking and printer support are still in early development.ĭOSBox also comes with its own DOS-like command prompt. However, it is not restricted to running only games. Welcome to the Wiki page of the DOSBox projectĭOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD.
