DOSBox-X

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:

1. 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).
2. 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.
3. 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).
   • Customizable control mapping for modern gamepads.
4. Modern Features:
   • Save states for games, a feature not present in the original DOSBox.
   • Support for widescreen resolutions and image scaling.
   • Integration with modern tools, such as automatic mounting of folders or disk images.
