DOSBox-X also provides additional features that are useful but generally do not exist in a real DOS system, such as support for keyboard remapping and saving/loading states. With the help of DOSBox-X, you will be able to run your favorite DOS games and programs on modern operating systems (32-bit and 64-bit) such as Microsoft Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10 and various Linux distributions. DOSBox-X not only emulates an IBM PC, but also legacy systems such as the Japanese NEC PC-98. The vast majority of DOS (MS-DOS and PC DOS in particular) games and applications should run in DOSBox-X, although some of them may require additional configurations. We have made serious efforts to maintain and improve the emulation accuracy of the hardware and many more ways to tweak and configure the DOS virtual machine, and at the same time we are also making efforts to improve emulation quality and usability, including the general experiences for new users who want to run DOS programs or games, as well as implementing emulation that is accurate enough to help make new DOS developments possible with confidence the program will run properly on actual DOS systems.ĭerived from DOSBox, DOSBox-X emulates a PC complete with keyboard, mouse, joystick, sound, graphics, modem, printer, network, communication and storage devices, etc., in order to have a working DOS environment to run software designed for DOS.

We believe that a better way to emulate the legacy PC platform is to give the user all the options they need to emulate everything from original IBM PC system all the way up to late 1990’s configuration, whatever it takes to get that game or software package to run. Unlike DOSBox’s original focus on DOS games, DOSBox-X gives more focus on general DOS emulation, with the eventual goal of being a complete DOS emulation package that covers all pre-2000 DOS and Windows 9x based system scenarios, including all types and manners of hardware that were made for DOS PCs of that time.
