DOSBox-X Git (2026/01/11) is a compiled branch of DOSBox that emulates an Intel x86 PC, enabling the play of old MS-DOS games on modern operating systems like Windows XP, Vista, Linux, and FreeBSD. Recent updates include enhancements for DOSBox IG bank switching, which simplifies Windows 3.1 drivers, and several pull requests merging fixes for macOS compatibility and shell file conversions to POSIX compliance. Key changes involve using MACH_PORT_NULL for older macOS and removing ‘function’ keywords in shell scripts. For more details and download links, visit the source.
