DosBox
From RISC OS
Jump to navigationJump to search
DosBox is a GPL v2 x86 emulator with up to VGA graphics and sound. The latest version available for RISC OS is version 0.63-1, as part of the Unix Porting Project. On a high-end PC, DosBox can emulate a fast 486 or early Pentium machine. On an Iyonix, games for the 286 and 386 are playable.
The DosBox !help file explains how to set up sound and how to map a RISC OS directory as a DOS drive letter. CD support is also available (? I believe - haven't double-checked. Simon Smith 19:28, 27 July 2007 (BST))
