DOSBox SVN r3954 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.
DOSBox SVN Changelog:
r3954
Change BIOS equipment list to indicate DMA not supported on PCjr machine type, which fixes PCjr detection in old versions of Ancient Art of War, although DMA hardware emulation is actually still present.
Set PC speaker initial state in BIOS init, fixing beeps when the speaker is turned on and off without first programming the timer, such as in Koei's Ghengis Khan.
