There were a lot of problems in earlier versions, but now over a thousand games are supported, many of them are completely playable (Full Throttle… finally). DOSBox also emulates 286/386 CPU real mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, the SoundBlaster card (and others) for excellent sound compatibility with older games. DOSBox is completely free of charge and open source DOS emulator for modern operating systems like Windows (2000 and XP), BeOS, Linux, MacOS X. There was no real and effective DOS emulator on the scene. In last few years the only solution was a dual boot with compatibility drivers for sound and graphic cards, and a huge basket of luck. And many times I have been disappointed with incompatibility.
