DOSBox-X

Emulator of old DOS systems that allows you to run classic games and programs with extended features.

Description

DOSBox-X is an open-source emulator based on DOSBox, developed to run old MS-DOS games and compatible operating systems. It expands the capabilities of the original DOSBox, offering greater compatibility, accuracy, and advanced features for retro computing enthusiasts.

Main Features:

Advanced Emulation:
- Supports multiple systems, including MS-DOS, PC-98, Windows 3.x, and even DOS systems from other countries (such as Chinese).
- Emulates CPUs from different eras (8086, 286, 386, 486, Pentium) with higher accuracy.
- Support for old hardware, such as sound cards (Sound Blaster, Gravis UltraSound, Roland MT-32), graphics (VGA, SVGA, VESA, EGA, CGA), and input devices (joysticks, serial mice).
Exclusive Features:
- Support for Windows 3.x and 9x: Allows running old versions of Windows (3.0, 3.1, 95, 98) within the emulator.
- PC-98: Full emulation of the Japanese NEC PC-9801 computer, popular for games and software in Japan.
- Printers and Network: Support for virtual printing (to PDF or modern printers) and modem/network emulation for old multiplayer games.
- Storage Devices: Supports disk images, CD-ROM, hard drives, and even real FAT32 partitions.
Interface and Customization:
- Graphical user interface (GUI) for easier setup, in addition to the traditional command-line mode.
- Detailed configuration file for fine-tuning (dosbox-x.conf).
- Support for shaders to enhance the appearance of old games (e.g., CRT, scanlines).
