Dosbox Windows 10 64-bit

The ultimate solution to play DOS games on your PC with Windows 10, Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista or XP is DOSBox. DOSBox emulates DOS and the environment in which DOS ran in the past (like an old pc), including memory management and sound configuration, but with the power of your computer today. On this page we'll show you how to make the classic DOS game Prince of Persia or any other DOS game work. You can also play Prince of Persia directly on Windows 10. If you want to install a DOS game from an original CD-rom, you can find instructions here.

Download and extract Prince of Persia (or any other DOS game)

  • Go to one of the many websites that offer shareware and freeware downloads of classic DOS games, for example www.dosgames.com
  • Search for and download the desired game, in our example Prince of Persia
  • Create a new folder on your computer, for example C:gamesdosprince
  • Extract the downloaded zip file into that folder

Get the game working in DOSBox

Start DOSBox from Windows by double clicking the desktop icon. Once in DOSBox:

  • Type in mount c c:gamesdos and press enter (this creates a virtual drive C: within DOSBox, which points to the GamesDOS folder on your local C: drive)
  • If your games folder contains spaces, you have to put quotes around the folder path, for example: mount c 'c:gamesdos games'
  • Type in c: and press enter to go the virtual C: drive
  • Type in dir and press enter to look at the contents of the virtual C: drive
  • Type in cd PRINCE and press enter to open the Prince folder
  • Type in PRINCE and press enter to start the game

Automatic mounting

As you always will need the virtual drive in DOSBox to play your game, it is recommended to put the mount command in your DOSBox configuration file. This way the games folder will be mounted automatically when you start DOSBox:

  • Open the configuration file:
    • Windows 7: Press CTRL + ESC (or click the start button), type in dosbox and the options file should appear in the search results, click it
    • Windows 8: Press the Windows key + Q, type in dosbox and the options file should appear in the search results, click it
  • Scroll down to the autoexec section (at the bottom of the file)
  • Copy the mount commands below the comments (indicated by a hash). The lines below apply to this example:
    [autoexec]
    # Lines in this section will be run at startup.
    # You can put your MOUNT lines here.
    mount c c:gamesdos
    c:
    # to start Prince of Persia automatically when installed:
    cd prince
    prince
  • Save the configuration file and restart DOSBox.

Play a game from CD with DOSBox

So you have found the original installation CD of a DOS game. But you can't install the game, because you need to do that in DOS! No worries! We have a guide which explains how to install and play a game from CD, all in DOSBox. Click here for more information!

Some DOS facts to keep in mind

In the DOS environment there are just 3 types of files that you can start/execute. These are .BAT, .COM and .EXE files. In this example (and in general when starting a DOS game), we'll look for files with .BAT (batch) and .EXE (executable) extensions. A batch file contains one or more lines of DOS commands and usually ends with the execution of a .EXE file. If you want to execute a .BAT or .EXE file in DOSBox, you can type in the file name without the extension. If there's a filename.bat and a filename.exe file in a folder, DOS will execute the filename.bat file first. If you don't want that, type in the entire filename including the extension.

DOSBox emulates the DOS environment, but doesn't support all DOS commands. It doesn't have to either. /itsg-camera-drivers-for-mac.html. A list of supported DOS commands can be found on the DOSBox wiki section.

Supported games

With the method mentioned above, you can play a lot of classic DOS games. Here's an overview of some games, cherished by the DOSGamers crew, that you can play with DOSBox:

  • Wolfenstein 3D (fps)
  • Lemmings
  • Blackthorne
  • Sam & Max Hit The Road
  • Leisure Suit Larry

Development snapshot builds

You can always see what's cooking on the master branch :)

These builds might be slow or unstable as they are designed with developers andtesters in mind: download instructions for snapshot builds.

§ Microsoft Defender SmartScreen

Method 1

SmartScreen will allow you to run application, after you clickon 'More info':

Method 2

Dosbox For Windows 10 64-bit

Right-click on 'dosbox.exe' file distributed in the zip file, select'Properties', and then 'Unblock'.

Explanation

Starting in Windows 8, Microsoft's SmartScreen pop-up encumbers the executionof newly-developed applications. To prevent this, developers are expected to payMicrosoft's EV certification vendors a yearly fee and put the software on WindowsStore1.

As dosbox-staging is a volunteer effort, we are not in a position to make suchpayments. We therefore ask users to manually unblock dosbox-staging and bepatient while Microsoft's 'Application Reputation' scheme eventually whitelistsdosbox-staging (see: [2], and the last paragraph in [3]).
