286 DOS-Box emulator

[Jacky Luk]

I want to slow down my computer and use DOS configurations when I want to
enjoy my old games. I first chose DOSBox, but it was hard to configurate. Do
you have another one to recommend? Or appreciate if you can teach me how to
use DOSBox, it's just got a Z: drive, with some config.com files etc. Do I
need to create a FAT partition first? problem also is I don't have many
drivers like XMS!
Thanks
Jack

The best way to run the old stuff is with a old box.

DOSBox has a built-in "mount" utility that allows you to mount regular
directories as drives. For example, simply create a new directory in
your personal files folder, copy all your game files into it, and then
in DOSBox type

mount c: "c:\myfiles\ultima4"

or whatever the name of your game directory is. The contents of that
directory will then become available as the C: drive in DOSBox.
