DOSee pronounced dos/see, is our emulator used to run MS-DOS based software in your web browser.

MS-DOS (Microsoft DOS) was the primary operating system used by PCs during the 1980s to the early 1990s and is the precursor to Microsoft Windows.


DOSee is a slimmed down, modified port of The Emularity.

The Emularity is a multi-platform JavaScript emulator that supports the running of software for legacy computer platforms in a web browser. It is the same platform that's running emulation on the Internet Archive.

EM-DOSBox is a discontinued, high-performance JavaScript port of DOSBox that is applied by The Emularity for its emulation of the MS-DOS platform.

DOSee uses BrowserFS ZipFS and ZipFS Extras to simulate zip file archives as hard disks within EM-DOSBox.

DOSBox is the most popular MS-DOS emulator in use today and is frequently used by commercial game publishers to run games from their back-catalogues on modern computers.


DOSee, built on The Emularity, EM-DOSBox and DOSBox. Capture screenshot and save function built on canvas-toBlob.js.

******* Revised 01/15/89 - Anonymous ******* So, you have a copy of Interplay's Battle Chess, but you can't play it because you can't get by the frustrating three questions up front. Fear not! A simple application of the following DEBUG techniques will get you around the problem (NO MORE QUESTIONS!!!). Follow these steps exactly... 1) Make sure DEBUG is in your current directory or path. 2) Make sure the file CHESS.EXE from Battle Chess AND the two files from this ARC named ZAPCHESS.BAT and BATTLECH.ZAP are ALL in the directory. 3) Tyre ZAPCHESS and the rest is automatic. 4) Type "CHESS" at the DOS prompt, and ENJOY! NOTE: This patch has been test and known to work on the CHESS.EXE dated 11-14-88 ,file size 83,415. It should work on any other versions, but of course: APPLY THIS PATCH TO A BACKUP COPY!!! ******* Revised 01/15/89 - Anonymous *******
