Re: [Freedos-user] can FreeDOS do anything to make up for Virtualbox and VMWare's lack of decent support for DOS sound?

Its github page says it's a hypervisor, and in the context of your question as to whether it supports booting an arbitrary OS it doesn't make much of a difference, but, from what I can see it's more of an emulator than a hypervisor. However, for the typical FreeDOS use case, an emulator is indee

That's my video. I edited the OWSETENV.BAT file, but clearly forgot to mention that in the video. I actually did mention it in one of the takes for that video, but I had a few false starts where I messed up near the beginning, and started a new video. I guess I didn't mention the edit in the video

Please ignore my last. I see that it's a hypervisor, which should do what I need. I almost thought it was too much like DOSBox which is its own OS and I was trying to stay away from that. Nothing against DOSBox, it has its place and is best in what it does. On 2019-09-19 21:22, st...@vwebr.ne

Not making any assumptions at all, and frankly it sounds interesting. Merely trying to understand what it is in comparison to Virtualbox and VMWare, or DOSBox. If it's a virtual machine app meant to install an OS into like the first two, then of course I'm very interested. On 2019-09-19 09:30,

For those times when VirtualBox doesn't cut it, I use AQEMU, a GUI-based frontend for QEMU. QEMU itself supports SO many options that using it from a command line can be a little daunting; AQEMU's GUI approach makes creating/configuring VMs much more straightforward IMO. Sent with [ProtonMail]
