Jul 4, 2020 · DOSBox-X main developer here: Development is also intended to aid retro DOS development by attempting to emulate the hardware as accurately as possible (to reduce surprises), and all the configuration options are there so you can test your code by changing various things about the DOS and BIOS emulation to see how well it handles the absence or …

Sep 4, 2021 · DosBox-X is by far my favourite fork of DosBox. The original lacks a lot of stuff and is very rarely updated. Many other forks are abandoned. I consider the worthwhile current ones: DosBox-X, DosBox Staging and DosBox-ECE. Those are in order of most to least new features as I rank them, so depending on what you want should be the one you pick.

Jan 2, 2022 · DOSBox-X is very feature-rich, and you can find examples of its unique features in the DOSBox‐X’s Feature Highlights page. This new version (0.83.21) also has many improvements and fixes compared with the previous version, such as support for viewing Unicode (UTF-8 or UTF-16) documents in the shell, support for ENET reliable UDP for modem ...

Nov 25, 2020 · For save states, DOSBox-X supports both save slots (up to 100) and save files. This feature is apparently unique to DOSBox-X at this time, and it has been greatly improved in DOSBox-X and should work fine in most cases. For 3dfx, DOSBox-X supports both internal Voodoo emulation and Glide wrapper. Of course there is more beside gaming.

Apr 7, 2025 · Originally based on DOSBox, DOSBox-X does not only support DOS games, but it supports much more, covering virtually everything in the DOS scene including DOS games, DOS applications, DOS commands, Windows 3.x, Windows 9x, etc. DOSBox-X Version 0.83.8 changelog: 1.

Jun 15, 2023 · However while I have smooth gameplay in Dosbox X, I have a less unresponsive game and a generally slower performance in the menus. E.g. if I start a new game, Dosbox 0.74 takes 0.5 seconds and Dosbox X takes 2.5 seconds. Also regularly the mouse movement is a bit sluggish and seems to miss a frame or two.

Jun 2, 2021 · DOSBox-X is very feature-rich, and just to name a few of its unique features: support for GUI menu bar & configuration tool (optional), save and load state (up to 100 save slots and also save files), better compatibility with DOS applications and Win3.x/9x, many more DOS commands, Pentium MMX & Pro, printing (virtual or real printer), IDE ...

DOSBox Pure works on the series X/s and the maximum amount of ram for it is 224MB so maybe yes, but slower than DOSBox-X. (I don't know if there's some stuff that allows XP to run on DOSBox-X that DOSBox Pure doesn't have)

Jul 21, 2022 · Yeah DOSBOX-X is pretty cool. I notice it doesn't always play super well with some games though. Commander Keen for instance does that jerky motion thing in DOSBOX-X but is fine in OG DOSBOX.

Aug 5, 2020 · Mostly, my interest is in getting older Windows games running in a portable manner. Most of this is just curiosity enabled by DOSBox-x having a guide on how to do it, and my post was prompted because I was trying to understand where the limits were. It seems there's not a great way to do shared folders with early Windows with any method.
