;[https://dosbox-x.com DOSBox-X]:
:DOSBox-X is vastly different from other DOSBox forks in that it aims to be a complete DOS emulation packagethat covers all pre-2000 DOS and Windows 9x based hardware scenarios. It features more flexibility by way of config options and an accompanying frontend to customize the DOS VM further, and beyond games it also supports standard software for DOS, as well as DOS-based Windows including Windows 3.x and 9x/ME (which it should be able to accelerate in the future). The project also has its own [https://dosbox-x.com/wiki wiki] which contains extensive documentation on DOSBox-X, and a summary of notable added features can be seen [https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/DOSBox%E2%80%90X’s-Feature-Highlights here]. The project is also accessible from the [https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x GitHub website].
:While DOSBox-X currently supports the [[Intel CPUs|IBM PC/XT/AT]], AX, DOS/V, Tandy, PCjr, and [[NEC PC-9800 series|NEC PC-98]] the maintainer, Jonathan Campbell, does not plan to add any other MS-DOS system. This limitation is mainly done to prevent bloating of the codebase, keeping it at a manageable level for himself while also staying organized. However, the codebase does contain stubbed source files for [[FM Towns emulators|FM Towns]] emulation in the event that other programmers want to add that functionality.

The project is also accessible from the [https://github.com/dosbox-X, still focuses on DOS games for the most partstaging/dosbox-staging GitHub website].
