DOSBox for Portable Apps

Thanksgiving is coming, click here for the best recipes on the internet.

Tuesday, August 28. 2007

In my previous entry I talked about this suite of applications from portableapps.com which can be installed to a memory stick (USB, Flash, whatever). All of the application info is stored on the stick and the host machine never needs to know about the apps...cool, right.

Well, I found a new addition to the Portable Apps family. It's called DOSBox. It's essentially a DOS emulator which runs right off the stick. I tried it out and was able to run Doom, Wolfenstein, Duke3d and others all in their glory. Apps can run in a window or fullscreen.

Below is a pic of Wolfenstein 3d
