Download DOSBox 0.72

Version 0.72 of DOSBox has just been released. This program is written in C/C++ and emulates a full DOS environment that has a 286 or 386 CPU in both real mode and protected mode. Furthermore, it emulates the directory filesystem, xms, ems, graphics from Tandy to VESA, and a SoundBlaster or Gravis Ultra sound card. This gives you a perfect environment for ‘old’ DOS games that you still have on the shelf. DOSBox is available for OS/2, BeOS, and various Linux distributions, among others, but at the moment only the versions for Windows and Mac OS X updated to version 0.72. The changelog for this release looks like this:
