iso to the DOSBox virtual machine as a CD-ROM.Ī more technical discussion of the imgmount command can be found at its manual pageDOSBox is a free open source emulator written in C++ which focuses on IBM-based Personal Computers and peripherals from the 1980s and 90s. To mount a CD-ROM image in DOSBox, execute the following command in DOSBox: Most commonly, this is used to mount CD-ROM images. It is also possible(and in many cases desireable) to mount disk images in DOSBox, using the imgmount command. Mounting Disk Images: the " imgmount " command The result of the commands should be the same. Where you see a Windows-type path like C:\OLDGAMES, simply read a Linux-style path. Note that many of the examples on the official DOSBox will seem to be specific to MS-DOS or Windows. It is also possible to mount removeable disks in this way simply specify the path to the removeable disk instead.įor a more technical discussion of the mount command in DOSBox, consult the manual page for that command. Consult the compatibility list for details for each one. For other programs, you may need to run their installers. If those DOS programs are self-contained executables, it's enough simply to copy them onto a suitable sub-directory in ~/dos/c and run them within DOSBox. You can now run any DOS programs in that directory in DOSBox. This makes the contents of ~/dos/c/ the contents of the virtual C:\ drive in DOSBox. To have DOSBox use this as its C:\ drive, execute the following command in DOSBox: Which will create the /dos/c directory in your home directory. In a regular terminal, (NOT DOSBox), you can execute In the following examples, and throughout this document, we are assuming a user named "wikiuser". In practice, this means we must create a directory which can serve as a virtual C:\ drive for DOSBox. To give it one, we must mount one onto the virtual machine. Seeing a Z:\ where one might have expected to see C:\ or even A:\ will seem strange to those familiar with MS-DOS and .ĭOSBox does not have a C:\ drive enabled by default. Mounting Drives and Directories: The " mount " command This will open up what looks like another terminal window, with a Z:\ prompt. You will need to enable the Universe repositories (see AddingRepositoriesHowto), update, and install the dosbox package.ĭOSBox can be run from a terminal by simply typing dosbox . To run more recent applications developed for Windows, use Wine. The DOSBox project maintains a list of compatible games. The emulator has been largely developed for use with old games, but it may be possible to use DOSBox to run other MS-DOS applications. Thus, it is possible to run many programs originally written for MS-DOS in Linux with DOSBox. It emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, and SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound cards.
