Changes

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 is aims to be a complete and accurate DOS emulation package. Started as a fork of the original DOSBox project, as well as an HLE PC emulator. It it does what DOSBox does, but goes further, with supporting both DOS games and DOS applications, and features a focus on accurate emulation of pre-2000 PC hardware and includes flexible configuration by giving many more ways options to tweak and configure the DOS virtual machine. The aim is for DOSBoxemulator officially supports DOS-X to be a complete emulation package that covers all pre-2000 DOS based Windows such as Windows 3.x and Windows 9x based hardware needs, including peripherals, motherboards, CPUs, and all manner of hardware that was made for PC hardware of that time. The emulator should in the future have full support and acceleration of Windows 3.x, 95, 98 and ME and software that was written for those versions of Windows.
