Nice video, but why does your DVD need volume??

interesting but according to me though Dos Box Pure(retroarch core) was even more easy to play dos games...

DOSBox-X is better than vanilla Dosbox for running Windows 3.11 guestOS in both of my steam deck and my windows 10 PC

"Unless you're a penguin"... or have even basic experience with actual DOS? Geez...

command-line is kind of the point. I'd argue this is part of the experience

it's just quality-of-life improvements. If you can already run what you want with dosbox, you'll get no benefits and have no reason not to use it

Quite interesting! However, you forgot the fact you can run PC-98 programs on DOSBOX-X, so you can play the old Touhou games for exemple.

Dosbox is crap nothing to do with the real hardware the sound and horrible scrolling

Does man in the moon sound like Marvin the martian?

You need an Oscar for this masterpiece computer.

That might be the same motherboard on my dads pc

Probably high end and very useful in the 90s

What 's that underwater shmup at the beginning?

the flatpak versions are a pain. they freeze whenever they should access the file system. not ok for a DISK operating system

7:25 I think that's a 70Hz/60Hz sync issue. It's designed for 70Hz and has to throw away one frame every 7 to get down to 60fps. Or something like that.

Can you make it a sleeper pc? With all the latest components😈

one problem is if you have over 200 dos games and you don't know what to play at any given time. thus you would need a gui to make all this work. now you could use a front end but where is the fun in that lol. good vid.

Can I instal and play DOS games which I have on CD, with the help of these programs?

PCem/86Box > DOSBox-X > DOSBox

how do i run dos software in my apple silicon mac?

What game is that under water shmup???

Nice haul!

Nice one.

Nice case at least. Worth it alone.

Clickbait, video sucks.

My favorite program for running DOS games on any Windows PC is "D-Fend Reloaded". Its basically a frontend that makes everything really easy, and you can configure it for each game. You can also take a screenshot of the game and use that as the icon for each game you add to the list.

I usually spin up a pcEm, seems more realistic, loading times included but I will check out the other forks. :)

What's the shoot 'em up 1 minute into the video? Looks cool...

There is another DOSBOX version that is even easier. It's called "D-Fend Reloaded". You could try it. Nice video 😀

I'll never understand why people are afraid of the command line. I don't care what OS you're on. If you want to have any street cred of being 'tech savvy' then you must learn and embrace the command line. Running retro games like DOS games requires tech savvy. It wasn't easy for us back then to get these games working on our systems that were built in that time period either. The games and software were very picky about having specific hardware and specific system configurations back then.

I'm old so i use Dosbox

How about cheats or even a debugger?

Damn you have a LOT of crap on your C drive.

It's a lot better 86Box (fork of PCem), where you can build up your PC or take a branded one, and then try Aladdin on both and see difference

86box + win95/98 pain in the ass to set up but its worth it

Or just get d-fend or such

stop using Dosbox, use Dosbox intead..... what a clickbait

Have you ever done a tutorial on how to open a CMD and only use one core?

I grew up in early 90s with dos 5/6 win311. I was a programmer for a bank right out of high school and switched to Linux Anyways the fact that younger people are keeping interest in dos alive makes me happy! Thank you! I still loved that i could load mouse emm smartdrv mscdex , with some drivers i acquired from wherever and still had 621kb free. I would switch load orders and learn the switches...i was pretty proud of my self I even had an emm386 variant maybe qemm386....anyways if anyone knows what it is i would love to find it again. I could address hard drive space as "ram". I used it, and it sucked of course, but I needed 8mb of ram to run Magic Carpet on my 486sx 25 mhz, yes I know it could hardly run doom at full screen and I only had 4mb. It worked. After it thashed my hard disk for forever, the game loaded and i had about a frame every 5 seconds, but, it did infact run......and on 512k video memory at that.

The thing that I hate about DOSBOX is that the key combination to release the mouse is right next to the combo to kill the program. I can't count how many times I've killed everything because I wanted to use the mouse in the host again.

I prefer to use VM

DosBox-X is just great

you've never heard of norton commander-volkov commander-dos navigator? who need comand line??? do you like it when you hurt? :)

Outside of Dosbox and its forks, try to have a look, whether a proper source port exists for the game you want to play. You would be surprised by how many old games can be played natively on modern hardware with lots of QoL improvements thanks to the source ports created by the dedicated community - almost all the major game engines from 1990s have received some kind of modern source port. Many games that you know from DOS also had competent Windows versions (Wine is your friend...) or even console ports - this can be especially helpful when looking for ways how to play them on a mobile device.

I see Windows, I leave.

Dosbox-Pure inside Retroarch is superior to both of these. Combined with the MegaBezel shader suite, one can have a truly authentic, emulated experience, complete with the absolute best CRT shaders possible. CRT shaders are essential for any true retro purist, looking to experience the past as one gamed during the time period.

why do you look so wet

Hello, what is name of the game at 4min:10sec

What is the shmup showed in the intro 00:58 ?

It was so weird to me that DOSBOX is seen "intimidating" to *anyone* who wants to play old DOS games. Then I realised that some of those people are ones who are too young to have used DOS when it was current tech and who are just into retro.
