Is this better than DOSBOX?
This uses a community updated version of DOSBox which is probably better than the latest official release, since DOSBox hasn't really been updates in several years. The real benefit here is having a database of DOS games complete with cover art, manual etc. and being able to download any of them using BitTorrent with one button press, or if you really want to, you can download everything in a 600+ gigabyte torrent.
Cool!
600+ gigabyte
.....they're DOS games; shouldn't all of them worldwide barely amount to like a megabyte....?
DOS games were made well into the 90s and the later ones were on CD-ROMs with fancy FMVs and stuff, some were even on multiple CDs (back then it was a rule thumb that the more CDs a game used, the worse it probably was). You're also probably underestimating just how many DOS games there were, eXoDOS even has tiny freeware games made by one person in Eastern Europe included.
Even the Atari 2600 library is something like 20 megabytes.
Ah, actually I forgot not all games were mines of titan or karateka, lol; I completely forgot the original doom was also a DOS game
We had a mac when I was a kid so DOS isn't really my nostalgia zone.
Master Of Orion is hella good though. I started playing it in 2014.
DOSBox Staging has authentic, zero-config CRT emulation
From Hercules to SVGA it Auto-adjusts to your display resolution, from 720p to 4K
I think that's included with eXoDOS.
I thought so too, it is a really good upgrade over DOSBox c:
ooooohhhhh.... shiny....
I love dos shit. I grew up playing dos stuff. I used to play wolf3d, doom or prince of persia a lot. Now I mostly 3rd party engines like prboom or gzdoom. But yeah love dos games. I usually would use retroarch or retropie to set up dos stuff. So I guess this is good to know.
