Hi community!

I am just starting to play with DosBox. I would like to understand the code but it seems quite difficult to follow. I have been searching on the Internet any documentation of DosBox for developers but I couldn't find any!

Do you know any documentation? if not, could you please tell me where I should start from?

Right now, I am checking dosbox.cpp.. but it's being quiet tough.

Thank you in advance!

coding dosbox is rather difficult. You need to understand how a real PC works as else a lot of things are too complicated. Don't look at dosbox.cpp. There nothing interesting there. Try reading the stuff in ints/dos/shell/hardware to get some understanding on how it works.
