DOS games span the whole home computer revolution years from the early 80's to the mid 90's. There are thousands of great titles to enjoy, but setting up DOSBox to emulate them can be tricky.
The eXoDOS project solves this problem by giving you a ready made package of over 7500 games all set up and ready to run as a single download. With multiple, customised versions of DOSBox, wrapped up in the LaunchBox frontend you'll be up and running in no time at all.

Hey there. Thanks for covering my project. You mentioned the "coders" who work on this, which gave me a chuckle, as I wouldn't consider myself a coder at all. I just write everything in batch script and it seems to work well enough =)

@BytesNBits 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the project. It's a great resource for all us DOS fans. You're very modest. Anyone who can get this number of emulators / games / setups working deserves a medal.

nice dear, i´m looking for a Baremetal (stand alone DOS) like a dedicate batocera DOS with prompt, de FREEDOS don´t work audio well

@marccaselle8108 2 месяца назад

With freedos, if you want sound card sound, you'll have to install SBEMU inside the freedos folder and setup the files correctly. Freedos isn't compatible with lots of DOS games. MS DOS 6.22 is still the king, as far as compatible games go. 🙂

@BytesNBits 2 месяца назад

As @marccaselle8108 says you'll need SBEMU to get better sound but even then it's a bit hit and miss. I use DOSBox X running inside Linux to make a DOS gaming PC in this video. For me it was the best compromise. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZzpiP_mNFn8.html

@Astra8676 2 месяца назад

Great Video, always well presented and full of info!! Do reckon you can transfer some of these games into Retropie!!

@BytesNBits 2 месяца назад

The full download package comes with all the games as zip files. You should be able to use those in any DOS emulator. eXoDOS takes those files and heavily optimises the way they are run so you won't get that expert setup.

@hal58th 2 месяца назад

@@BytesNBits That setup is the hard port though.

Have you tried Twister OS. Retropie is on the desktop already and it has dos friendly programs on it. Box86, WINE. I knoe I've gotten Blakestone to work on it and Doom.

@BytesNBits 2 месяца назад

No problem 👍

@apollolux 2 месяца назад

This might handle games, but what about certain semi-popular DOS programs like music trackers, particularly Impulse Tracker? Does eXoDOS provide a mechanism to allow users to customize config for programs not covered by its internal list/add them to a user-provided list in such cases?

@BytesNBits 2 месяца назад

eXoDOS is basically a wrapper around DOSBox that fits inside Launchbox. It's very tailored to games. If you want to use some other software I'd go for a standalone DOSBox-X (the X version is easier to set up) installation separate to the eXoDOS setup. I made a video using a Linux PC but the setup is basically the same on Windows - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZzpiP_mNFn8.html. Once you've got it set up you can then just install any apps you want as if it was a DOS PC.

@@apollolux there's also pcem and it's fork which precisely emulate a dos PC. More fidelity, but also more resources intensive, particularly if you want to go into later pentium territory

@badbones777 16 дней назад

Is it possible to get this to work if as in my case I already have a launchbox setup, but I store the actual games on an external hard drive?

@BytesNBits 16 дней назад

The ExoDOS downloader saves the files into folders in the eXo folder inside the Launchbox installation folder. So I guess it will all work but just not save the games to your external drive. I don't know if you can override the default save location.

I Love your vids though because I will keep trying got to, although at the moment lol 😅.

@BytesNBits 2 месяца назад

Sorry to hear you're having issues. Emulation is pretty good once you've got it set up correctly. It sounds like you've had a run of bad luck with the devices. Don't give up!
