DOSBox is a DOS emulator that uses the SDL library. It emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics and SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card.
Changes in MorphOS version:
- improved stability
- some speed increment
RunDOS is a tool which allow you to start DOS software by clicking on the icon on Ambient. Now you can set the option to quit DOSBox after quit from the program you started with RunDOS.
You can get the archives from here and here.

DOSBox 0.61 R3 and RunDOS 1.2 : Comment 9 of 18 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 20-Jun-2004 15:25 GMT | In reply to Comment 8 (Golem): I could, but all I would feel entitled to do is upload the old 68k port to Aminet - stating that it is no longer supported in the readme -, and contact the DOSBox people telling them their link is broken and should therefore be removed. I could also tell them about the old unsupported port having been uploaded to Aminet.
Since I'm neither a MorphOS user nor part of the porting team, I would not want to get involved in asking the DOSBox people to update their MorphOS port information. That's the job of the porting team, right?
That's the point I'm making: it's time for those who happily use open source to port to their OS, whatever OS that may be, to recognise their responsibilities to the whole open source community and give something back, even if it's just up-to-date information on their ports.
Take even the announcement above: no link to the homepage, or the original project homepage, just a couple of direct links to the binary archives. Please folks, get your acts together and show a little competence, then perhaps the non-Amiga community may actually take this scene seriously once more, rather than just regard it as something to be laughed at.
This is not intended as a flame, but as simple constructive advice. |
