DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very easy to port to different platforms. DOSBox emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, a SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card for excellent sound compatibility with older games. There is also a configuration GUI frontend.

DOSBox is an added value for OS/2: The operating system indeed, already natively supports virtualization of the Operating System DOS(link is external) and Microsoft Windows 3.x graphic environment, and almost all of the software written for these systems/environments is quietly executable with native OS/2 technology.

This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.

Dosbox/2 v. 0.74 (WarpIN installer, 17/3/2019, Jochen Schäfer) Readme/What's new
Building DOSBOX with OS/2 Required: - GCC 3.x. I used the Innotek GCC 3.3.5 compiler. - Latest SDL development package. Optional: - libncurses. If you want to use the internal DOSBOX debugger, you'll need this lib. The existing pre-built binaries will not work with GCC 3.3.5. You have to do it yourself. It's tough, but doable. To build use the included makefile.os2. The following targets exist. all: Builds dosbox.exe. dosbox*.exe: If you use the name of one of the different binary versions, it's built for you. The names are dosbox.exe, dosboxd.exe, dosboxhd.exe being the non-debugging binaries without and with internal DOSBOX debugger support (dosboxd and dosboxhd). The debugging binaries add a suffix of "_d" to the filename, e.g. dosboxd_d.exe being the debugging version including the normal DOSBOX debugger. package: Builds all versions of the dosbox binary. clean: Removes all binaries and object files. cleanpackage: Removes the object files, but not the binaries. If you have problems with building DOSBOX, please contact me: josch (at) joschs-robotics.de
