DOS Emulator

Title: DOS Emulator







This is likely something some (or most) of you already know about, but it's news to me. It seems to be aimed at those who like to play old DOS-based games, but I thought I'd pass it on since it sounds like something right up a Xywriter's alley...

DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very easy to port to different platforms. DOSBox has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, MacOS X...



DOSBox also emulates CPU:286/386 realmode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, a SoundBlaster card for excellent sound compatibility with older games...



You can "re-live" the good old days with the help of DOSBox, it can run plenty of the old classics that don't run on your new computer!



DOSBox is totally free of charge and OpenSource.
