About DOSBox Staging
DOSBox Staging is a modern continuation of DOSBox with advanced features and current development practices. It emulates an Intel x86 PC running the MS-DOS operating system with the primary aim of running games, but most application programs will work as well.
It is meant as a (mostly) drop-in replacement for older DOSBox versions. Your existing configurations will continue to work, but you will have access to many advanced features.
For the full list of supported features, please visit the DOSBox Staging website.
