DOSBox has many forks over the years. This section attempts to list the most notable ones. [http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/SVN_Builds#Enhanced_SVN_builds DOSBox's official wiki] also has a partial list of DOSBox forks. Even more forks are listed in the [https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/wiki/DOSBox-forks DOSBox forks page] of DOSBox Staging's GitHub wiki.

Besides Libretro/RetroArch, emulators [[BizHawk]] and [[Manic EMU]] plan to add DOSBox forks' cores in the future.
Additionally, [[multi-emulator]]s [[BizHawk]] and [[Manic EMU]] use DOSBox forks' cores.
