DOSBox-X is an enhanced fork of the original DOSBox emulator, which replicates a complete MS-DOS environment and adds modern features such as better hardware support, customizable UI, long filename support, and improved compatibility with a wide variety of software.

It is actively maintained and continues to be ported to Linux, Windows, macOS, and other platforms thanks to its use of the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL).
