Does anyone know where I can find some Roms of the games Sango fighter & battle chess?
Hello, at our company, we have custom intellectual property that has been written to interface with DOS equipment. The BAUD rate is too fast on modern machines, so we would need a suitable virtualization/emulator to run said programs. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good emulator/visualizer that we could use?
Hello I have a question if I copied the files (apps and stuff) of a ms dos drive, am I able to recreate the same drive by installing ms dos into the ssd the copy pasting all the files into it?
I'm trying to move files from my windows computer to my dos computer. I can access files from my usb when it's been turned into a bootable drive, but then my windows computer can't access it. I tried using dos box, but it couldn't find the directory. Is there anything I can do?
I am working on a msdos project for school and I am stuck. I need to create a new file in a different directory with one command. The command I execute comes back with a unrecognized file path message. All help is greatly aappreciated
I have an old IBM ThinkPad 701C that came with PC-DOS. It has a built-in modem.

Apparently, the laptop could be used as a "speakerphone and automated digital answering machine."
I haven't had much luck finding applications to send and receive phone calls using the phone jack on an older DOS machine?
There's a lot more traffic there and it's overall better.
Hi guys, hoping someone can help! I'm trying to do two things and I'm not quite sure how to do.
First: I have a directory with 200 random folder names, inside each is two subfolders with files: <200files>\Media and <200files>\Media - Original. I want to delete all the "Media - Original" ones without affecting the "Media" ones.
I know RMDIR /S would delete it; but how do I do the spaces? Would it be:
RMDIR /S *" - Original"
Or is there something else needed?
Second, I have another set of 200 folders with random names on another drive. This one has 6 different subfolders (all the same ones) on each of the 200 folders. There's \Images, \Sound, \Themes, \Video, \Wheel Sounds, and \Media.
I want to make a copy of all 200 folders but only copy the \Media subfolder of all these folders and the folders they are in... so, I can't just copy 200 subfolders of \Media because I'll have \Media1, \Media2...\Media200 due to duplicates if it doesn't also copy the parent folder.
Is this possible with the XCOPY command? I see the /S and /E would help (/s for subdirectories, and /e for empty ones). Would this work:
XCOPY *\MEDIA /e /s C:\CLONES\
Or would that only copy the media folders and not their parents? Is there a way to do this?
