About
DOSBox is an emulator that lets users run DOS-era games and programs on modern systems. The website's news shows the project is actively maintained, with the latest version listed as 0.74-3, a security release that fixed buffer overflow and out-of-bounds access issues and added a basic permission system to restrict programs running inside DOSBox from accessing /proc. The site recommends using the -securemode configuration option when handling untrusted files.
The project also publishes compatibility information, a forum, downloads, a tutorial, and a manual to help users get started. Several patches have been released for specific Linux issues, such as keyboard input and mouse locking in windowed mode after X.org upgrades.
