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 off a "fork to end all forks."

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-X aims to maintain the code to emulate the '''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''' emulation in such a branch for any interested programmers.

Win31DOSBox is a fork of DOSBox that aims to be an easy method of playing Windows 3.xx games on your computer. It has an easy setup program and has the ability to print from Windows 3.11. (Might need some tweaking.)
To get started with Win31DOSBox you first need a copy of either Windows 3.11 or WfW (Windows for Workgroups) 3.11 (IMG, CD, or MSDN download) and once you have that you need to put either the 6 (Windows 3.11) or 9 (WfW 3.11) IMG files if you are using those, the ISO file which is only for WfW 3.11, or the MSDN self-extracting .exe.
After that, you then can run InstallWin31DOSBox.exe which will automatically install Windows for you. Once Windows is installed, check that everything works and then install Video for Windows and Quicktime which is located in the Video folder in Program Manager. It is also recommended to install WinG and Win32s aswell.
To get software onto the system there are multiple ways. For folders and files, you can drag them into the C-DRIVE folder. If you have a physical CD you can just insert it into your CD drive. If it's a CD image you need to mount it using a software like Virtual CloneDrive. If it's a floppy disk image you need to drag the respective images over the Extract to A-Drive Folder.exe program which will extract them to the A-DRIVE folder.
