![]() ![]() Windows 3.1 was basically a DOS application. If you want to run serious DOS applications within a DOS emulator, you’d better try dedicated emulators such as vDos and vDosPlus instead, which are designed to run DOS applications rather than games. Some enhanced DOSBox SVN Builds may support these features, and you may try these builds if you want or need such features, but they are not supported by the DOSBox Team. ![]() For example, features such as parallel ports, long filenames and Ctrl-Break emulations are never officially supported in DOSBox. The DOSBox project has a policy of not adding features that aren’t used by DOS games if they take significant effort to implement, are likely to be a source of bugs or portability problems, and/or impact performance. Non-gaming DOS applications are not the primary focus of DOSBox, even though most DOS applications might in fact work within DOSBox. From the DOSBox FAQ (emphasis mine):Īccording to its developers, DOSBox is focused on DOS games. I always understood it was because DOSBox was optimized for DOS gaming, and Windows 3.x suffered as a result.
