This is true for DOSBox Daum, specifically, not just DOSBox in general. I have a 7 year old (but still mostly competent for this purpose) i7 4770k and it works quite well in a lot of cases.Īs far as doing this in DOSBox, the advantage over say PCem is performance while in a software rendering scenario. It needs to be said though, that you'll need a decent CPU - specifically one with solid single-thread performance - for it to really be viable. That's not always going to be an option though, depending on the game, in which case you're going to need some type of virtual environment. Any time such a translation layer (DDrawCompat, DxWrapper, Dgvoodo, etc.) works well, that should be what you go with. The benefit is being able to play them on modern hardware/software, including cases where various wrappers/translation layers don't yield ideal results (or don't work at all). Unless there's some kind of underlying magic that makes Wine better at it than those, that's not always going to be an option (if it's an option at all). The closest equivalent to Wine that I have experience with is various translation layers like DDrawCompat, DxWrapper, and DgVoodoo and I can tell you that, while they certainly have the advantage of having virtually no impact on performance, they're not perfect and in some cases will not work and some of those scenarios are ones in which a virtual environment like PCem or DOSBox do work. PCem is also more accurate so that makes sense - in some cases that accuracy is needed, in some it's not, it just depends on the game. Hardware rendering leans more to PCem, but you'll hit a performance cap in that scenario sooner than DOSBox Daum will with software rendering. In fact, it's faster than PCem when it comes to pure software rendering (significantly so, in fact). Or is there some option there that I'm not aware of? EDIT: Cygwin maybe? Except that's not an option if you're on Windows right? Or, at the very least unless you're on W10 at which point you're doing it by way of Linux integration.
