[Freedos-user] DOSbox vs Freedos

2007-04-16 Thread dennis barton
I'm a bit confused. I use DOSbox but i have timing issues in MIDI. Was thinking of using DOS 6.22, but then saw FreeDos. What reasons might I chose one over the other? Does FreeDos work under XP or needs to be booted separately? My music app needs an mup401 or a serial port, so that's an issue.

Hi Dennis, Dosbox normally uses a built-in simulation of DOS, not a real separate DOS. For sound in DOS boxes, I think there was something called NTVDM. If you have Linux, you should use Dosemu, which is a virtual PC specialized for running DOS fast. You can boot a real DOS in recent Dosbox versi
