And your choice of DOS:
MS-DOS 6.22: https://winworldpc.com/product/ms-dos/622 https://winworldpc.com/product/ms-dos/622
or, PC-DOS 2000: https://winworldpc.com/product/pc-dos/2000 https://winworldpc.com/product/pc-dos/2000
A good choice for early PC emulation is 86Box: https://86box.net https://86box.net
- anthk 4y agoDOSBox will do it fine and much faster than 86box. EDIT: Ok, install. Well, using DOSBox in full screen would be pretty close to a screen of its era, save for being flat.
- thesuitonym 4y agoFreeDOS might be as better choice, since it has modern conveniences like USB support and (I think) TCP/IP drivers.

- LeoPanthera 4y agoWindows 3.1 cannot run in 386 Enhanced Mode on FreeDOS, only on MS or PC DOS.
- sumtechguy 4y agoeXoWin has done most of it already for win3x games (borderline plug and play). But there is not much to it other than get dosbox and then get a win311 copy running by typing in win in the windows folder. DOSBox, with a couple of forked copies here and there for an oddball game, is pretty much what he used for all of it. Not sure what he is going to use for the 9x project.
