DOSBox SVN r3833 is released. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD. However, it is not restricted to running only games. In theory, any MS-DOS or PC-DOS (referred to commonly as "DOS") application should run in DOSBox, but the emphasis has been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication, networking and printer support are still in early development.
DOSBox also comes with its own DOS-like command prompt. It is still quite rudimentary and lacks many of the features found in MS-DOS, but it is sufficient for installing and running most DOS games.

Dear DOSBox people,
ReplyDeletein the latest SVN releases Midwinter II doesn't work in Roland mode, but it works in 0.74 - can you fix it pleeease? :-)
Click here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/ and ask them.
DeleteDoes this build not include OGG support? It refuses to mount the renamed CUE files for GOG's World of Xeen release, which defines a list of OGG files to be used as the audio tracks.
ReplyDeleteBoth official DOSBox 0.74 and ykhwong's SVN r3833 based DOSBox SVN Daum build work fine.
