Dosbox

For all those newbies. I was afraid.. Very afraid of DOSBox. But Last week I downloaded it And I don't know how I was living without it. It used to take me hours to get a game running right. Now in minutes games are running great.

This would've been less spammy if you had some form of advice other than "OMG DOSbox is easy peasy!" :whistle:

definetly. I used an older laptop for a while (dos compatable) but once I got Dosbox it was great. If anyone is still sceptical just read Anubis' guide. Its great.

Thank you for the information.
It's something different then the avarage troubleshooting thread in which they don't understand how to use it.

Thanks Data and I was thinking the same thing Bobbin..."spammy?" But I figured it would give any newbies or lurlers a new thread to post any questions about DOSBox or let those know about it who still don't. When I first came to the site I didn't know about DOSBox till I posted a technical queston. Then everyone said DOSBox.... However I didn't listen.... I am sure I'm not the only one who was/is afraid of software..LOL
With the help of DOSBox I am even working on my second review.

I wasn't afraid... though a bit reclutant at first. But, since my 486 rig gave its electronic life a few months before and I so wanted to play my oldies again... I went for it.

Hmm... I suppose. It's not like I have any real powers so, meh.
