About:
DOSBox-X is a cross-platform DOS emulator based on the DOSBox project, with a focus on greater accuracy and completeness for running legacy DOS software. It provides enhanced features such as configuration menus, save states, and improved emulation of hardware components. This makes it ideal for running old DOS games and business applications that require precise system emulation.
Key Features:
  • Enhanced hardware emulation (VGA, Sound Blaster, CPU)
  • Built-in configuration menus and save states
  • Support for mounting disk images and directories
  • Cross-platform compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux)
Use Cases:
  • Running legacy DOS games and applications
  • Software development and testing for DOS environments
  • Accessing old business software or file formats
Alternatives:
  • dosbox – DOSBox-X offers more advanced features and higher compatibility than the standard DOSBox.
  • virtualbox – VirtualBox is a heavier virtualization tool, whereas DOSBox-X is a specialized, lightweight emulator for DOS.
