The ultimate solution to play DOS games on your PC with Windows 10, Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista or XP is DOSBox. DOSBox emulates DOS and the environment in which DOS ran in the past (like an old pc), including memory management and sound configuration, but with the power of your computer today.

An open-source, free, multi-platform frontend for DOSBox. Latest news: DBGL version 0.83 is available with the recently released DOSBox 0.74-3 and some bugfixes! More importantly though, also released is DBGL 0.90, featuring Java 9+ support, the new DOSBox version and some usability improvements.

So instead of having 10 identical files in 10 separate directories on your hard disk consuming say 5MB each 50MB, by replacing all of the duplicates with a hardlink pointing to the same file - you end up with all 10 still appearing as if they exist in the same places they were before, but they all refer to a single copy of the file. Jul 20, 2016 As far as I'm concerned this is a civil discussion of different people's personal perspective son the pros and cons of DOSbox frontends, conserving disk space by reducing file duplication etc. And I'm merely contributing my own thoughts to that which I.

I use Boxer for Mac and that just plain rocks. MT32 works just by dragging and dropping the f iles.
I tried D-fend Reloaded and MT32 was a pain, had to switch to it manually each time I ran a game.
Anything better?

How do these Frontends work? I really can't figure them out. I try to set them up and nothing happens.

I think you might be right. I looked up conf files and set up shortcuts to run games. Seems easy enough.

DBGL (mentioned above already) is pretty convenient. It's not only a comfortable frontend to manage your games (and their respective DOSBox configurations), but also a database that can download data directly from mobygames (including screenshots).

You need to launch the frontend from its own shortcut; it does not change existing DOSBox shortcuts.

I actually run the Norton Commander within DOSBox to manipulate my files.

For several years I was using DOSBox raw, that means just editing the .conf files for all my games. It's not quite difficult, but I understand that hand-made is not suitable for everyone.
This year I noticed that there are more recent nightly builds of DOSBox (since the stable version is already quite old) and discovered a special version which adds more features: a menu bar for live settings, loading programs and save current memory states (like every other emulator is able to).
With that you don't need a front-end, the dosbox has its own frontend. Maybe you want to setup a standard dosbox.conf, but that's it. IIRC you can also configure a game's setting and store them as a new .conf file. It's fantastic.

That's a very nice find ZivilSword, thanks for sharing! Admittedly i should have guessed that there was something like this around, but never got around to searching for one.

Best DOSBox frontend these days is definitely LaunchBox, it is a very nice and light program that is inspired a lot by Boxer on the Mac.
I've used it for six months now, it is being actively developed, so it isn't feature complete but as a frontend it is pretty awesome (and isn't ugly) :P:P

Note that this frontend doesn't seem to have a DOSBox configuration GUI so for that you'd want to use D-Fend Reloaded and then import the result into LaunchBox.

Yes, LaunchBox assumes that one knows one's way around the text based config file - which is something I'm sure will be remedied in the near future.
I hope that will be in the next major release. Good workaround you point to :)

Luckily, the free and open source emulator DOSBox can mimic the functions of old-school MS-DOS systems and allow you to relive your glory days!

In this guide, we'll learn how to find the old programs and games you love as well as how to setup and install DOSBox on your system.
