    DOSBox
    DOSBox (http://www.dosbox.com/) is an x86 PC DOS-emulator for running
    old DOS games or programs.

    Installation
    Install the dosbox (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=dosbox) package.

    Configuration
    No initial configuration is needed, however the official DOSBox manual refers
    to a configuration file named dosbox.conf . By default that file exists in your
    ~/.dosbox folder.

    You can also make a new configuration file on a per-application basis by


    copying dosbox.conf from ~/.dosbox to the directory where your DOS app resides
    and modifying the settings accordingly. You can also create a a config file
    automatically: simply run dosbox without any parameters inside your desired
    application's folder:

    $ dosbox

    Then at the DOS prompt, type:

    Z:\> config -wc dosbox.conf

    The configuration file dosbox.conf will then be saved in the current directory. Go
    in a change whatever settings you need.

    The configuration options are described in the official DosBox wiki:

    Usage
    A simple way to run DOSBox is to place your DOS game (or its setup files) into
    a directory and then run dosbox with the directory path appended. For
    example:

    $ dosbox ./game-folder/

    You should now have a DOS prompt whose working directory is the one
    specified above. From there, you can execute the desired programs:

    C:\> SETUP.EXE

    Tips
    If DOSBox traps your focus, use Ctrl+F10 to free it.

    To play music, some DOS games require a MIDI synthesizer which DOSBox
    does not emulate. However DOSBox can use one if one is available. A software
    synthesizer such as FluidSynth or Timidity can be used if your computer does
    not have a hardware synthesizer.
