Dosbian | A dedicated DOSBOX OS for the Raspberry Pi 

Thanks for watching! If you love old DOS games (and even a bit of Windows 3.11 and '95) try out this fantastic distribution for the Raspberry Pi that turns it into and old school dedicated DOS PC by booting directly into DOSBOX. It works fantastically well and if you have one of the beefier Raspberry Pis you can get some great performance from this.

Now this really interests me thanks Dan. I spent a lot of time playing with DOSBox and also an optimised fork for the Pi which was since abandoned but proved that the Pi3 could run it a lot quicker. I was getting around...486 25mhz speeds I'd guess on the Pi3. Your demos seem a lot nicer, and Windows seems snappier even if not perfect. Very useful thank you!

i really like that samsung tv bezel overlay i actually had that tv back in the old days

OOOOOooooo..... interesting. I have a Pi4 kicking around too. I think this will get properly good once 3D support is implemented.

This is amazing.

I've had a dedicated little RPi2 with a generic 320x240 LCD touchscreen hat thing connected to it sitting on my desk for a while. I originally configured it to use rpix86 to emulate a DOS machine, but I had a few small issues with that. Turns out DOSBox is waayyy better anyway, so I turned to that instead. Configured the RPi to run DOSBox fullscreen on boot, and the wonderful thing about the 320x240 LCD is DOSBox seems to handle that low resolution perfectly. Since most dos games require no more than 640x480, the LCD will scale the image correctly, AND at 320x200 or 320x240 resolutions, it runs natively to the LCD which produces a really nice image. There are even some fancy special kernel modules someone made that makes the whole thing run much faster, LCD update-wise. I really want to find out if I can get the LCD running on this Dosbian thing :) Always wanted a handheld dedicated DOS box :)

Cool🎉

Awesome

It would be good if you could recompile the DOS program for an ARM variant of DOS for speeding up and modifying.

Interesting little setup, keep meaning to get a Pi to play with. although the longer I leave it, the better they become! Mostly games from the Amiga era, how well does it run the 3D stuff I used to love playing like Descent, Magic Carpet, Doom, Duke 3D, X-Wing etc? Follow-up video? P.S. I've made a note not to get into a car with you as driver 😉

I am going try it out I wanted dos and older versions windows only on my pi 3 or pi 4 thank posting this video

Nice case! Where can i buy one off this? Greetings from Hungary.

will this work as a normal pc floppy drive (old pc) .... do u know if any 1 sells brand new old stock parts for pcs including floppy drives and processors etc etc? here in the uk? or in the usa even? thanx....

how do you add more disk space

Im not sure who wrote this Amiga emulator (the one for msdos) thanks... it emulates version 1.2 of kstart and Wbench....

So... linapple can me added?

Can it connect the internet while using Win95 or 3.11 on the emulator?

Does it support CD audio?

Stupid question, but will it run DOS office software like WordStar?

is it possible to replace dosbox with dosbox-x?

But can it run doom?
