I've got windows 3.1 set up in dosbox, what good stuff can you do in it?

Why would you use DOSBox when you can use PCem or Neko Project II?

DOSBox is literally the ZSNES of x86 computers.

?

>>3704267
DOSBox is inaccurate, full of issues and has shit compatibility.

>>3704279
It always worked fine for me.

>ZSNES arguments

>>3704293
this is the same argument that kept ZSNES and nesticle popular for so long

what are some good retro games to play in dosbox or pcemu?

>>3704294
>>3704295

I've never used ZSNES but I don't see any reason to switch from dosbox if it works fine.

>my game didn't work on dosbox

Are you trying to run windows game on it or something? I've never had a dos game not work or emulate "inaccurately" on it, so I've never had to look for a different program

>>3704486
No, I'm not retarded.

Have you ever heard a real SB16? The sound is all manners of fucked, no matter which game. Their emulation is hot garbage. A fork, DOSBox-X tried to fix this somewhat (and other inaccuracies), but it is more a proof of concept than anything, as it breaks a lot of other things.

Graphics glitches galore, you only have to try a game that isn't horribly mainstream.

>>3704303
Lol I like how this dude has no time for the petty neckbeard bickering regarding dosbox vs whatever and just wants to discuss the games. Good catch m8.

I recommend getting a nice retro wallpaper for your retro OS.

MT-32 herrenvolk reporting in

>>3704303
Microprose made various sorts of games which, with the notable exception of Civilization, you can't get on a console

>>3704845
>muh rolands
Only the MT-32 and variants can actually output sound effects. And even then, it's just wavetable edited in real time, not real sound effects.

You still need a sound card to play PCM audio.

Truly, you must be real retarded.

How about you actually check the DOSBox compatibility list?

>tfw find out it's too weak for DOSBOX and stutters in games

>>3706045
What model is your laptop's sound card? If it supports SB16 emulation, you might be able to run those games natively.

I've played some of the games on that list with dosbox. Checking the comments area on each of the titles, seems like the list isn't accurate.
