Abe's exoddus won't work in DOSBox. DOSBox is a DOS emulator, not a windows emulator, and Abe's exoddus is a windows game. No windows games will work in DOSBox.

Do you think Far Cry would run in Dosbox? 😁

What dosbox will support xp next year no it wont and if it does it will be too fast for some dos games and that will ruin the whole purpose of dosbox and i am already thinking you need a freeware slowdown program included with the dosbox install as it's getting faster and faster.

Last time I checked, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (it's Oddysee, not Odyssey, same for Exoddus) did start in DOSBox, but had many problems making it unplayable. The windows version(Included on the original CD) should be OK on XP(don't have Vista), though.
