DOSBox-X is a free, open-source DOS emulator designed to run legacy DOS software, games, and early Windows operating systems. Based on DOSBox, it expands traditional emulation with advanced hardware compatibility and configuration options. The software supports DOS applications alongside Windows 3.x and Windows 9x environments. It emulates various processors, graphics adapters, sound cards, storage controllers, and networking hardware. Users can configure virtual machines through graphical menus and save or restore emulation states. DOSBox-X also supports NEC PC-98 systems, FAT32 disk images, and MIDI synthesis. Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and DOS, it serves software preservation, retro gaming, and historical computing experimentation.
