Hey there. Thanks for covering my project. You mentioned the "coders" who work on this, which gave me a chuckle, as I wouldn't consider myself a coder at all. I just write everything in batch script and it seems to work well enough =)

Thanks for the project. It's a great resource for all us DOS fans. You're very modest. Anyone who can get this number of emulators / games / setups working deserves a medal.

@marccaselle81085 ай бұрын
With freedos, if you want sound card sound, you'll have to install SBEMU inside the freedos folder and setup the files correctly. Freedos isn't compatible with lots of DOS games. MS DOS 6.22 is still the king, as far as compatible games go. 🙂
@BytesNBits5 ай бұрын
As @marccaselle8108 says you'll need SBEMU to get better sound but even then it's a bit hit and miss. I use DOSBox X running inside Linux to make a DOS gaming PC in this video. For me it was the best compromise. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKvTmoOVorN5pJo

The full download package comes with all the games as zip files. You should be able to use those in any DOS emulator. eXoDOS takes those files and heavily optimises the way they are run so you won't get that expert setup.

One big warning is to make sure you have a shit load of space on top of the load you used up to download this because once you star the unpack process it suddenly needs a load more.

This might handle games, but what about certain semi-popular DOS programs like music trackers, particularly Impulse Tracker? Does eXoDOS provide a mechanism to allow users to customize config for programs not covered by its internal list/add them to a user-provided list in such cases?
@BytesNBits4 ай бұрын
eXoDOS is basically a wrapper around DOSBox that fits inside Launchbox. It's very tailored to games. If you want to use some other software I'd go for a standalone DOSBox-X (the X version is easier to set up) installation separate to the eXoDOS setup. I made a video using a Linux PC but the setup is basically the same on Windows - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKvTmoOVorN5pJo. Once you've got it set up you can then just install any apps you want as if it was a DOS PC.

Is it possible to get this to work if as in my case I already have a launchbox setup, but I store the actual games on an external hard drive?
@BytesNBits2 ай бұрын
The ExoDOS downloader saves the files into folders in the eXo folder inside the Launchbox installation folder. So I guess it will all work but just not save the games to your external drive. I don't know if you can override the default save location.

@BytesNBits2 ай бұрын
exoDOS sets up a lot of parameters for each game. You can override these if you want. Once you're in a game you're really running under DOSBox-X

If I were to install this, I would need 700gb + space to download the files. How much more space would I need on top of this to extract and intall everything? It seems like I need about 1500Gb of disc space. Am I right?

Yes. You're about right with the disk sizes. It's a big download to get everything in one go. I use the on demand setup as there are a whole load of games I'll probably never try out.
