DOSEMU reaches version 1.4.0DOSEMU reaches version 1.4.0Posted May 11, 2007 1:34 UTC (Fri) by drag (subscriber, #31333)Parent article: DOSEMU reaches version 1.4.0
Although I used DOSBox in the past I'd probably rather use Qemu with Kqemu acceleration nowadays or Kvm.
Is there any significant advantages of Dosbox over VM machines?

DOSEMU reaches version 1.4.0 Posted May 12, 2007 23:39 UTC (Sat) by calica (subscriber, #25185) [Link] I haven't used Dosemu in over a decade so I can't comment. I have used dosbox recently. Dosbox integrates very nicely with you existing environment. Just cd to you exe and "dosbox foo.exe". Dosbox with treat the pwd as C:\ and start foo.exe. With Qemu you have to create a drive image for C: and it is harder to move files in/out of that image.
WRT performance, Qemu is probably faster. kvm doesn't support real mode so will revert to straight qemu. Not sure about kqemu. That last Dosemu I used (last decade) used vm86 for near native speed.

This can make something which runs too fast or consuming 100%CPU needlessly to run in more sane way.
