EmuDOS v0.4.0
The first public build of EmuDOS — a Boxer-style DOS gaming frontend for Windows. Drop your games on a shelf and play.
Library & import
- Drag-and-drop import — game folders,
.ziparchives, or CD images (.iso/.cue/.bin/.chd). EmuDOS copies each into a self-contained "gamebox," finds the program to run, and applies curated settings if it recognizes the game. - Multi-disc games — drop a game's discs together and they import as one game, swappable from the in-game menu.
- Bookshelf library — your games as cover art; drag to arrange in edit mode; per-game window size remembered.
Launching that just works
- Smart launcher auto-detects the actual game program and skips installers, DOS extenders, and config tools.
- Choose program… picks a specific executable when needed, and anything you run from Open in DOS is remembered — either choice sticks as the default.
Sound & art
- Roland MT-32 music with a working on-screen dot-matrix LCD (supply your own ROMs — they're never distributed).
- Automatic box art (ScreenScraper, with SteamGridDB fallback), drag-your-own covers, and manual downloads.
Capture (new)
- Screenshots (F12) and video recording (F9, via FFmpeg) with configurable folders, quality, and screenshot size.
- Hotkeys tab to rebind screenshot, record, and mouse-lock keys.
In-game
- FPS mouse lock with raw-input accuracy and live sensitivity adjustment.
- Windows 9x install-and-boot support (advanced).
- Per-game DOSBox settings, save states, and a downloadable curated catalog.
Getting started: unzip, run EmuDOS.exe, then Preferences → Downloads to fetch the DOSBox Pure core. The full User Guide (README.txt) is included in the download.
