It works perfectly well, and if you want to make your CD drive and its contents visible within DOSBox, no problem. Last Christmas, I treated myself to an external USB CD/DVD drive, to use with my 701. Thankfully, it’s easy to “toggle” between fullscreen and windowed DOSBox using the keyboard: the shortcut is Alt+Enter. You can specify this option on the command-line or in the config file however, I like to have the choice of activating fullscreen display when I’m ready for it.
Hold that thought a few moments longer… 2. Simply specify the config file on the command-line (possibly, along with the game you want to run with these settings), and you’re away.īut: what if you find it a hassle remembering the exact command-line syntax each time you want to run “Fussy Adventure Game 3”, particularly if you have a couple of other tasks to carry out to get it going? You’ll note the tentative plural of “file(s)” above-yes, DOSBox can utilise any number of customised config files, which may be just what you need if specific games require specially-tweaked settings. I use this feature to mount the DOS files directory as drive C:, and switch to it automatically, so that DOSBox is ready to start gaming when it finishes “booting”. Perhaps the most useful option for me in general use is the AUTOEXEC.BAT section, which if you remember your DOS days, allows you to specify the command(s) you wish to run when the system starts up. Whilst DOSBox often works perfectly well with default settings, you can set up a configuration file to tweak them as you want/need to. The application works perfectly on the Eee 701 (in my case, running Eeebuntu v3), and I have picked up a few tips and tricks which have helped me get that little bit more out of it.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with DOSBox, which gives you a DOS environment perfect for reliving your old 80s and 90s PC games (including more than a few from my younger days 🙂 ).
