DOSBox-X is an open-source DOS emulator for running DOS games and applications. DOS-based Windows such as Windows 3.x and Windows 9x are officially supported. Compared to DOSBox, DOSBox-X is much more flexible and provides more features.DOSBox-X emulates a PC necessary for running many DOS games and applications that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, similar to DOSBox. However, while the main focus of DOSBox is for running DOS games, DOSBox-X goes much further than this. Started as a fork of the DOSBox project, it retains compatibility with the wide base of DOS games and DOS gaming DOSBox was designed for. But it is also a platform for running DOS applications, including emulating the environments to run Windows 3.x, 9x and ME and software written for those versions of Windows. By adding official support for Windows 95, 98, and ME emulation and acceleration, we hope that those old Windows games and applications could be enjoyed or used once more. Moreover, DOSBox-X adds support for emulating the NEC PC-98 such that you can also play PC-98 games with it.DOSBox-X emulates a legacy IBM PC and DOS environment, and has many emulation options and features such as:Emulate several PC variants: IBM PC, IBM PCjr, Tandy 1000, Amstrad and NEC PC-98CPUs: 8086, 286, 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium MMX, Pentium II and IIIGraphics chipsets: MDA, Hercules, CGA, EGA, MCGA, VGA and SVGA (S3 Trio64, ET3000, ET4000, Paradise)Sound options: Sound Blaster series, Gravis Ultrasound, Disney Sound source and more audio optionsMIDI: FluidSynth, Roland MT-32 and General MIDI optionsExtended Serial, Parallel and Game port supportPrinter support (real or virtual) and emulation options3dfx Voodoo emulation with Glide wrapper supportNetwork emulation: IPX over UDP, and serial modemNetwork adapter emulation: NE2000 (pcap or slirp backend)Mounting a host directory as a harddisk, floppy or CD-ROM driveMounting harddisk images, floppy disk and CD-ROM images, including IDE emulationISO9660, FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 filesystem support, including long filenames (LFN)Support for running real DOS systems (MS-DOS, IBM PC DOS, FreeDOS)Support for running Windows 1.0 to Windows 3.11, Windows 9x and Windows MEGUI drop-down menu for easier usageBuilt-in graphical configuration toolSave and load state with support for save files and up to 100 save slotsMore DOS commands, and ability to add your own programs to the virtual Z: driveSupport for clipboard copy &amp; paste and scalable TrueType fonts (TTF)Various output options, including output scaling (such as pixel-perfect scaling) and OpenGL shaders
