GenX-DOS Wiki

GenX-DOS is a browser DOS prompt that boots emulators from numbered menus. We ship 19 emulator engines locally — 30 sub-systems between them — and nothing is fetched at runtime. Every byte lives on the same origin.

This wiki is the long-form companion to the repo. The README is the quick tour; these pages are the field notes.

Pages

Project Overview What the site does, how it boots, what's on screen
