DosFreak 2 Posted June 16, 2003 http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1 Now some of you may be asking why use DosBox when I can use DosEmu or Vmware? Well the answer is: Vmware is not dedicated to gaming. DosBox is. DosBox is primarilly for gaming. Vmware Dos video mode support is terrible. Vmware Sound support is terrible. Vmware Memory Management is terrible. DosBox only emulates what it has to for the games. That's it and it's better for it! As for DosEmu? DosEmu is so ancient that it isn't even funny. You might say that DosEmu has better DPMI support...well you'd be right as far as released binaries go but currently DPMI is being beta tested (Latest CVS has the code) and DosBox has pretty much surpassed DosEmu there. So check it out if you love Dos games then DosBox is the way to go both for Linux and Windows. Share this post Link to post

I have quite a collection of Win32 Games running now. Including a lot of the latest games....AND most of the best DOS games are now Linux Native. Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem, ROTT....etc. I am not tryiing to slam you...just my opinion. Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted June 19, 2003 Wine is fine but Wine + Dosbox is even better. Of course Native Linux is even more better. Share this post Link to post

As of this morning also, transgaming just released verision 3.1 of WineX and Point2Play 1.1 which now adds even more support.http://www.transgaming.com/ Share this post Link to post
