I found the torrent link for eXoDOS on their website, but I can’t find the link for eXoDOS Lite. Where do I download that?
[Edit] I had been looking at the website on my phone's browser, which didn't display the entire page. I found the link I needed after opening the page on my computer's browser. No idea why my request for help got downvoted, but if it hadn't been downvoted for no reason then we wouldn't be on Reddit, would we?
Hi everyone,
So, I found this project:
bengarrett/DOSee: DOSee is a DOSBox based, MS-DOS emulator for the web.
The maintainer's instructions are absolutely confusing, but I created a quick and dirty commands for others on here to setup their own Dosbox container that can be accessed like a website:
#DOSee
git clone https://github.com/bengarrett/DOSee
cd DOSee
mkdir src/dos_programs/newgame #or whatever game you want
cp ~/newgame.zip ~/DOSee/src/dos_programs/newgame #paths may different
nano src/index.html
# Add the following to the index file to add the game:
<!-- DOSee initialisation options -->
<meta name="dosee:zip:path" content="dos_programs/newgame/newgame.zip" />
<meta name="dosee:run:filename" content="NEWGAME.EXE" />
<meta name="dosee:capture:filename" content="screenshot.png" />
<meta name="dosee:speed" content="auto" />
<meta name="dosee:graphic" content="svga" />
<meta name="dosee:audio" content="sb16" />
<meta name="dosee:utilities" content="false" />
<meta name="dosee:width:height" content="1280,720" />
# Save your changes # Note: I don't think the content="1280x720" or any other resolution actually works
docker build -t dosee .
docker run -p 6080:80 dosee
Hey everyone.
sorry to bother you, but I've been trying to give this game for a decade now and I'm going quite mad.
It's played between multiple players ( human or cpu ) on a randomized board of differently coloured hexagons, each colour representing a different biome.
in each turn, die are rolled to randomly reward or punish the player tokens on a randomly selected bone type.
each player has several tokens, representing a population, with its size numerically depicted. larger populations defeat smaller ones, but require more rolls to move ( ie, if you roll a six, you may move a pop 2 token thrice, or a pop 3 token twice. )
sorry to ramble, but if anyone knows this game, please let me know
I am looking for the title of an old DOS Game, I think I played it around 1995.
It is a dungeon game but I couldn't remember if the title has 'dungeon' or not, it is not first-person view gameplay but rather like
Diablo/isometric 3D view game, not rotable if I recall it correctly. The only thing that I remember about the last boss is the three kings/knights (yellow gold plates) on the three thrones.
Would be appreciated if anyone had an idea about the game name.
Hi everyone,
I have finally succeed in getting a Dosbox container working, that allows me to remotely play dos games off my Raspberry Pi 5 (it should work for 3 and 4 as well). I found this little nugget here:
https://github.com/Mantene/dosbox-novnc
The only problems are:
I cannot get the sound to work - yet.
Scaling does not seem to work but I think I can finagle something to get it scale better.
Good news is, you do not have to specify an app, assuming you just want one instance and run multiple games or Windows remotely off the container. The bad news is that audio does not work and scaling does not seem to work either. If anyone who is more knowledgeable than me is willing to help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hey, retro fans!
I’m excited to share my project with you: DOS Director! I originally whipped this up to help me set up DOSBOX the way I wanted, but it’s turned into a flexible tool that can work in any DOS setup.
DOS Director is a menu-driven command runner that makes launching your DOS programs a breeze. Here’s what it can do:
Managing all your DOS apps can be a bit of a pain, especially when you want to tweak settings or launch multiple commands. DOS Director takes the hassle out of it, so you can focus on having fun!
I’d love to hear your thoughts. If there’s enough interest, I’ll put together some documentation and share it for everyone to download.
What do you think? Would this be useful for you? Any features you’d love to see? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
Can’t wait to hear from you!

Hi everyone,
I have had pretty good success with gaseous-server for remotely hosting old retro games off of my private server; however, I am having a devil of a time trying to figure out a way to remotely play old Dos games - particularly Links 386 Pro and Simcity classic.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
I am hoping to do this on my Raspberry Pi 5. I gave up on the docker solution because they either run like crap or are for x86 CPUs. I appreciate any help or advice.
Hello. So I have a p4 processor in my windows 98/XP dual boot, and I’ve been trying to play X-com terror from the deep, which is the only dos game I’m really interested in (I’m a windows 98 gamer) but I’ve been having speed issues due to the p4 processor, how do I go about slowing down my system?
I’ve downloaded exodos lite 6, there are errors. It took 15+ hours. And with the seeding, which I don’t know what that is, it’s finished one file it was working on, but the seeding countdown started over. Is this typical?
This is a top-down view game. You had a phase where you designed an albeit simple robot from a few stat choices, then you somehow fought them in top-down view. I played this with a friend in the early 90s (probably 1991-1995), but not sure if it was older. The robots may have been tanks or some other armored vehicle, but I think they were robots.
Hey everyone! I've been trying to remember the name of an old FPS game from the 90s or late 2000s , and it’s driving me crazy! Here’s what I recall:
I’ve been searching for a while and this distinct art style and gameplay just won’t leave my head. If anyone has any idea what this game might be, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
Hi everyone. I'm trying to find an 8086 demake Wolfenstein 3D. This is an older demake and is different from the more recent CGA demake. Every mention of this version is pretty old and the download link seems to have been down for years. I'd love to run this on my IBM PS/2 and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I've tried looking but as far as I am aware it's gone. Has anyone here downloaded it in the past and would be willing to upload the file? Thanks
