First post, by sfsdfd
First - let me thank you for the excellent work your team has done so far. I consider the development of a 100% Intel emulator among the most important emulation projects. I'd like to help out however I can - even by coding, if I can contribute (I'm a part-time software developer.)
I'd like to ask about the differences between DOSBox, Bochs, and others. On your link page, you reference Bochs and note that it's designed to be a full x86 emulator, whereas DOSBox "tries to mainly emulate dos programs." Though the wording is ambiguous, I take it that running Windows 3.1 could be done under DOSBox (since it's just a DOS app at heart), but running Windows 95 or anything later would require Bochs due to its goal of emulating hardware, not the DOS application environment. Is this correct?
I note with interest the release of Bochs 2.0something - I tried the previous Bochs release a week or two ago and was sorely underwhelmed. Maybe this will be better.
(You also have a link to DodGE on that page, but DodGE has been cancelled early in its development - just visit the page for news. You may wish to remove the link.)
Sincerely,
David Stein, Esq.
