    Very good emulator for old dos games. Much better then VMware or other famous software. This only one fast plus the sound works.
    It should be made a bit easier for newbies in consoles. Maybe in the future will add Norton Commander Or DN as a default. Will save some hours and brain time for the gamers. Since they are tons of free dos games online. Some of them better without joke than what we have now. Volfied, Prince of Persia, GTA ( original)...and many many more

    useful command example:
    mount c c:\docprog
    where c is the virtual drive volume you suppose to mount
    and c:\docprog is path of content folder on your local disk

    Good, simple enough for someone like me to set up and use, but I'd like to see more in the area of being user friendly.

    If you want to run QBASIC on your PC then you're definitely going to need DOSBox.

    A excellent DOS port. Now we can play old games in hi-fi computers, and old abandonware in GNU/Linux or MacOSX.
