While both DOSBox-X and vDos/Plus support such programs, DOSBox-X offers wider support for different types of DOS programs as far as I know. It is also completely free to use like most DOSBox builds.
Re: Can't print from DOSBox

DOSBox-X and vDos/Plus are all derived from DOSBox with support for non-gaming purposes (DOSBox-X supports both gaming and application usages, whether text-mode or graphical, DOS, Windows 3.x or 9x, whereas vDos/Plus is mainly for running text-mode end-user applications, although unfortunately …

i didnt want to sign up in vDosPlus and DOSBox-X forums. i was reluctant to ask questions about them here. i just learned about MOUSE=ON in vDosPlus, the result was the same, cursor set out of bounds, vDosPlus's mouse might work on "set mode 80" and not on VGA mode. the mouse probem is not that …

vDOSplus : i can make batch files, operation things work just like DOS, every mouse using DOS program causes an error, i dont know how to mount a directory with an external batch at the windows's platform yet. XTGOLD works, norton's NCD didnt work, it runs things about 15 times slower than DOSBOX. …

I am well aware of the official position that "DOSBox is only for games." It's a lazy excuse when the feature in question would also benefit games. I think we can separate the issue into two: if the feature in question can be shown to also benefit games, then we can consider requesting the feature …

If OP wanted to print from a game would you give a different response? Why does it matter what is printing? Did you even read the sticky thread from DOSBox author? So you mean it is something to be ignored? You can even run for example Windows 9x from DOSBox, but this is certainly not officially …

From DOSBox author: DOSBox IS NOT SUITED TO RUN YOUR NON-GAMING DOS APPLICATION To run your editor program, try something else which supports non-gaming purposes.

Because it's the same code base under the same moniker? And if a setup file is required to avoid shipping a set of default settings on other platforms then why you you ship with a set of defaults? Seems like quite the contradiction to be making... Not to mention, settings within the config that do …

I'm going to split this -X discussion off this thread later today. "Your experience is also exclusive to only you." <- consider this: everyone figures it out and is fine with -X being different than vanilla Dosbox, because it is NOT vanilla Dosbox. You seem to carry a grudge ever since it turned …

Not when you have to jump through additonal hoops. I had the exact same setup on vanilla DOSBox and it turned into a week long ordeal trying to get the exact same game and installation to properly run on DOXBox-X. Like I said. Your experience is only your own. Your games were previously set up for …

Please add LFN support. Honesty, I don't see much benefit in adding LFN to ECE, if any at all, as it's primary use is still running DOS games. And I think using long file names with those would create more problems than it would be useful. Why don't you just use on of the other, more advanced forks …

Re: Have you guys considered adding PC-98 mode?
Posted on 2021-05-28, 05:23
DOSBox-X already supports Japanese PC-98 mode. There is a lot of code added because of PC-98 support, since the hardware is in fact very different, and DOS is pretty much the only thing in common when it was actually implemented. You can find the PC-98 guide page in the DOSBox-X Wiki: Guide: PC-98 …

in svn, you can use -pr as parameter to mount to let paths be relative to the configuration file location. Indeed, since the latest DOSBox SVN has such a hidden option in its MOUNT command, the OP may achieve his need using something like the following when using the current DOSBox SVN (or DOSBox …

Well, it may be possible to add a special "compatibility mode" to force the same setting/handling of vanilla DOSBox as maximum as possible for easier transitions specifically for users like you, but this will require some work and time of course...
