===9xbox===
There has been some interest in creating a version of DOSBox that incorporates compatibility with Windows 95/98/ME. As of 02/09/13, it has not passed the theoretical stage and no work has been done.

dosbox-staging is a fork that "attempts to revitalize DOSBox's development process". This WIP fork's existence ain't to rewrite the emulator from scratch, but to continue updating it and improve it with bugfixes and new features where vanilla DOSBox currently can't. Indirectly speaking, it's sort of a "fork to end all forks", but unlike DOSBox-X which aims to be a complete DOS emulator, dosbox-staging prioritizes DOS games.
===DOSBox-X===
====Systems====
DOSBox-X aims to maintain maintains the code to emulate the '''[[Intel CPUs|IBM PC/XT/AT]], Tandy, PCjr''', and '''[[PC-98 emulators|NEC PC-98]]'''. It does not plan to emulate any other MS-DOS system and, in the main author's (Jon Campbell) words, only the aforementioned systems will be considered for development in DOSBox-X. This restriction prevents stretching of the codebase to an unmanageable level and helps keep the code base organized.
:'''However''', the author has stated that other coders are strongly encouraged to fork out the main DOSBox-X project so they can work to develop MS-DOS emulation on any other platform or emulate other unique MS-DOS based system(s). He has provided stubs to enable '''[[FM Towns emulators|FM-Towns]]''' emulation in such a branch for any interested programmers.
====Features====
It has a lot of added features that does not exist in DOSBox or other forks. Just to name a few of its unique features: support for GUI menu bar & config tool, save and load state, better compatibility with DOS applications, more DOS commands, Pentium MMX & Pro, printer output, long filename and FAT32 disk images, Windows clipboard copy & paste, 3dfx Glide & Voodoo chips, cue sheets with FLAC/OpusOGG Vorbis/VorbisWAV/MP3 CD-DA tracks, FluidSynth, NE2000 Ethernet, V-Sync, and many more.<ref name="Reddit_1">{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/hl8txx/dosboxx_0833_released_with_allinone_windows/ |title=DOSBox-X 0.83.3 released (with all-in-one Windows installer) |publisher=Reddit |accessdate=2020-06-07|date=2020-Jul-05}}</ref>See also its feature highlights page: :https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/wiki/DOSBox%E2%80%90X’s-Feature-Highlights ===9xbox===There has been some interest in creating a version of DOSBox that incorporates compatibility with Windows 95/98/ME.
