DOSBox emulates a full x86 pc with sound and DOS. Its main use is to run old DOS games on platforms which don't have DOS (Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 / Linux / FreeBSD / Mac OS X)

fullscreen does not scale to desktop size

It is important that you do so because other people are already doing it for you -- and probably bundling malware with it. I became suspicious when their "portable dosbox" arrived as an exe, NOT a zip. Deleted with extreme prejudice. Having an "official" portable version would let you just point people at that.

Dans les années 90 j'ai écrit, pour mon usage, une application de gestion de comptes en Dbase III plus. Lorsque les PC Windows sont passés du 16 bits au 32 bits j'ai bien cru ne plus pouvoir utiliser cette application. Aujourd'hui encore il m'arrive de la faire évoluer. DOSBox m'a permis de continuer à l'utiliser et elle fonctionne sans problème. Un grand merci à cette émulateur.

VERY useful software for those, who did (and still do) like to play "Good-Old-(DOS/W9#)-Games": - using this emulation software 'eases' the need to refresh old memories with older games you used to enjoy playing. - otherwise, you might just 'admit', that it is "Game Over, Man!" for those good old games - and go watch "Bold and Beautiful" on some streaming site - or 'whatever'. Some PS-#/XBox games are still quite good, though... 😏

Love older games

I don't know if DosBox will run any of the old networking software like Novell, 3Com, IBM PC Lan, AT&T Starlan, or Banyan Vines, but it runs everything else quite well. Once you find the configuration file's location, it's very easy to edit and customize. It should come bundled with Windows. :)

I think it's quite brilliant. A little tricky to set up but it's been a marvel for me. I've wanted to run the old Amstrad Locoscript software and it's the first completely stable environment I have been able to do so in. I know it's a but whacky still to be running Locoscript but it's databases are just brilliant and I can interface with my Libreoffice spreadsheet very easily.
