And all this time, I thought XP stood for eXPensive.
One thing I've never liked about the NT kernel, though, is its non-support for sound in DOS apps/games.A VERY small fraction of my DOS games work on XP, and that means hardly any!
I owe what is now my DSL box eternal loyalty for running them all under 95 even if I didn't already owe it my life for its eternal loyalty when I asked it to do the impossible as a windows newbie.
How do people LIVE without DOS games and can you even call that living?
Check out the Games section of the DSL repository. Some of them are Linux ports of DOS classics like Wolfenstein 3D.

Hmmm... How well do true DOS games run in an emulator in DSL like dosemu or dosbox? Do you get sound? Reasonable speed?If want to push DOS emulation to the MAX, why not emulate the whole computer?
Yeah, it's slow but it is possible to use the QEMU in DSL Embedded to create a virtual PC that boots up FreeDOS or even MSDOS if you still have the disks kicking around.Actually XP is a common smiley, its a combination of :P and XD. :/Next Page...
