Hello Michael It is not completely related to FreeDOS, but a request I sent you some time ago is to make it compatible with OS/2 DOS VDM. But sadly we didn't get the traction to make it possible: - https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,2961.30.html Regards On Fri, Sep 27, 2024 at 11:29

Re: [Freedos-user] Seeking advice on installing FreeDOS with Screen Readers

[Freedos-user] Somekind of Game Port Emu/Converter ?

Hi Some old DOS games used to work with a joystick and/or gamepad using the very old and discontinued game port. I was wondering if there is any kind of solution to play old DOS games with an USB gamepad, but the old DOS game will recognize that gamepad as an old game port joystick. Any solution

[Freedos-user] DOS Related source code

Hello Are there any good lists of DOS software available (or that used to be available)? I want to see if we can create a list with as much DOS software as possible and put that on the FreeDOS wiki. Yes, it is going to be a big list, so I'm also asking for your help. A starting point may be wik

Hi I'm new here. I'm part of the ArcaOS, eComStation and OS/2 Warp community called OS2World.com. Even that we are different communities and different operating systems, we have a group of people that have interest in different DOS software apps since OS/2 has its DOS VDM (and Win-OS2). I had bee
