But yeah, I see your point.
a rewrite will be good but we won't get everything a vm or something
may work but a major point is that once the current generation and
those before it go, there will be no idea of what dos was.
My cousins and others don't know or care about dos now.
Only geeks and the like once board with the rest of the games and apps
venture into the grue's lare.
I grew up with dos so if I could get it back I'd really be happy, but
its not worth it to get another emulator unless it works or loading a
bunch of stuff.
I once had an idea of trying with linux when I was sic last year but I
havn't pulled out the test box with linux for a while now and its
probable I will not do it for a while if ever again especially now I
do work on my own stuff.

Hi Shaun,
Yes, I meant Dosbox not Drop box. Definitely a typo on my part.
Anyway, to answer your question there are specific APIs designed for
drawing or rendering video game graphics and text on screen such as
Direct3D, OpenGL, etc which gives your game or application direct
access to the video card. As a result since images and text are
rendered directly onto the screen it is very difficult if not
impossible to get access to that content. It totally bypasses all the
standard ways of doing thins, and the only way it would remotely be
possible to make it accessible is if the graphics library developers
inserted some sort of screen reader hooks into their graphics
libraries which they are likely never to do. Even if they did the
screen readers would have to be updated to use said screen reader
hooks. So until someone somewhere decides to put the time and effort
into it for all intents and purposes it is not going to be accessible
for a blind user.
Cheers!
