Emulating PATCHER.EXE in DOSee.

Use these tabs to make adjustments to the emulation

If the emulation is taking too long to load, you can turn it off.


Reload DOSee to launch the DOS prompt

Applying changes will reload the page and reboot the emulator





Changes are not applied until the browser tab is reloaded





DOS programs need a keyboard for user input
Some common keys used in DOS programs

ENTER to select or continue
ESC to navigate back or exit
are often used to navigate menus


Emulation too fast?
Set the emulator to use the 386 CPU configuration

Experiencing graphic or animation glitches?
Set the emulator to use VGA only graphics configuration

Need to turn off the audio?
Disable sound card support

Have no audio?

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.

The Patcher v6.5 Copyright (c) 1991-95 Michael Caldwell PUBLIC DOMAIN The following is a list of filenames, dates, and sizes. The filenames are the protected files which must be patched for their corresponding title. If more than one file from the same title is protected then they must all be in the same directory. The dates and sizes are there for you to compare with your files in order to determine what version you have. If the sizes do not match, or you have modified the files before, then you should backup the protected files so that you will not have to reinstall them in case the patch does not work. If the filenames do not match the patch still might work so you should try renaming them. ┌────────────────────────────┬───────────────┬────────┬───────┬─────────────┐ │Software Title │Publisher │Date │Size │ProtectedFile│ ├────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────┼───────┼─────────────┤ │2400A.D. │Origin Systems │09-23-88│ 26496│2400AD.EXE │ │4 x 4 Off Road Racing │Epyx │07-25-88│ 24540│FRONT.EXE │ L│4D Sports Boxing │Mindscape │02-02-91│ 21711│LOAD.EXE │ │4th & Inches │Accolade │09-11-88│ 90367│4TH.EXE │ │688 Attack Sub │Electronic Arts│06-12-89│ 104572│GAME.EXE │ │Advanced Flight Trainer │Electronic Arts│09-06-90│ 95744│AFT.EXE │ L│Alone in the Dark │Interplay │08-25-92│ 3616│ALONE.COM │ │An American Tail │Capstone │06-27-92│ 60645│INSTALL.EXE │ │Ancient Art of War │Broderbund │03-20-85│ 99840│WAR.EXE │ │Ancient Art of War at Sea │Broderbund │07-10-87│ 162304│WAS.EXE │ │Ancient Art of War in Skies │MicroProse │09-18-92│ 407365│SKIES.EXE │ │Ancient Art of War in Skies │MicroProse │12-20-92│ 392945│SKIES.EXE │ │Archer Maclean's Pool │Virgin Games │08-03-93│ 478836│POOL.EXE │ │ │ │08-03-93│ 522227│POOL256.EXE │ │Arctic Fox │Electronic Arts│03-26-87│ 69088│AFOX.EXE │ │ │ │03-26-87│ 68992│AFOX16.EXE │ │Armada 2525 │Interstel │06-27-91│ 271280│2525.EXE │ │Auto Duel │Origin Systems │07-25-88│ 47344│AUTODUEL.EXE │ │Bad Blood │Origin Systems │04-29-90│ 115400│GAME.EXE │ │Bad Street Brawler │Mindscape │04-21-88│ 45529│BR.EXE │ │Balance of Power │Mindscape │06-11-87│ 298032│BOP.EXE │ *│Batman │Data East │11-08-89│ 40851│JOKER.EXE │ │ │ │11-08-89│ 40851│PENGUIN.EXE │ │Battle Chess │Interplay │04-19-88│ 83499│CHESS.EXE │ │Battle Chess │Interplay │02-23-89│ 83415│CHESS.EXE │ │Battle Chess II │Interplay │10-11-90│ 129697│CHESS2.EXE │ │ │ │10-11-90│ 29577│SETUP.EXE │ │Battle Hawks 1942 │Lucasfilm Games│10-06-88│ 148055│BH.EXE │ │Battletech │Infocom │10-25-88│ 152429│BTECH.EXE │ 1│BC's Quest for Tires │Sierra On-Line │01-01-80│ 19328│MAINC.EXE │ │ │ │01-01-80│ 19456│MAINR.EXE │ │ │ │01-01-80│ 19712│MAINJRC.EXE │ │ │ │01-01-80│ 19456│MAINJRR.EXE │ │Black Cauldron │Sierra On-Line │05-27-87│ 2944│SIERRA.COM │ │Bop'n Wrestle │Mindscape │12-12-86│ 48880│BOP.EXE │ L│Budokan │Electronic Arts│10-31-89│ 31687│BUDO.COM │ │California Games │Epyx │02-24-88│ 63467│CALGAMES.EXE │ │California Games II │Epyx │12-24-90│ 32035│BEACH │ │Carl Lewis Challenge │Psygnosis │07-02-92│ 172835│AA.EXE │ │Castles │Interplay │06-18-91│ 228736│CASTLES1.EXE │ │ │ │06-18-91│ 27024│SETUP.EXE │ │Castles │Interplay │06-20-91│ 228784│CASTLES1.EXE │ │ │ │06-20-91│ 27038│SETUP.EXE │ │Castlevania │Konami │03-29-90│ 107255│CCGA.EXE │ │ │ │03-29-90│ 116301│CEGA.EXE │ │ │ │03-29-90│ 105221│CTDY.EXE │ │Centurion │Electronic Arts│05-29-90│ 96272│OVL0.OVL │ │Champions of Krynn │SSI │12-22-89│ 267826│GAME.OVR │ │Championship Boxing │Sierra On-Line │02-12-84│ 38144│KO.EXE │ L│Chuck Yeager's Air Combat │Electronic Arts│06-15-91│ 184134│YEAGER.EXE │ L│Chuck Yeager's Air Combat │Electronic Arts│09-15-91│ 184869│YEAGER.EXE │ │Civilization │MicroProse │12-03-91│ 304512│CIV.EXE │ │Civilization │MicroProse │07-21-92│ 302982│CIV.EXE │ │Civilization │MicroProse │10-13-92│ 305030│CIV.EXE │ │Civilization for Windows │MicroProse │11-22-93│ 833024│CIV.EXE │ ?│Colonel's Bequest │Sierra On-Line │12-11-89│ 76419│SCIV.EXE │ │Contra │Konami │04-25-88│ 28288│CONTRA.EXE │ │Crossbow │Absolute Entert│01-12-89│ 72640│CBOW.EXE │ │Curse of the Azure Bonds │SSI │06-21-89│ 272218│GAME.OVR │ │Dark Castle │Three-Sixty │09-08-87│ 110507│DC.EXE │ │Darklands │MicroProse │09-15-92│1652687│DARKLAND.EXE │ │Dawn Raider │Softstar │07-04-90│ 113710│DR.EXE │ │Death Sword │Epyx │05-03-88│ 157292│DS.EXE │ │Death Track │Activision │09-20-86│ 177687│DTRACK.EXE │ │Die Hard II │Grandslam Video│06-18-92│ 64760│DIE.EXE │ │Double Tetris │Soft-World Inte│11-27-90│ 98320│FTF_VGA.EXE │ │ │ │11-27-90│ 89090│FTF_MONO.EXE │ │Dragon's Lair │Bluth Group, Lt│02-08-90│ 15141│DRAGON.EXE │ │Dragons of Flame │SSI │10-19-89│ 63485│GAME.EXE │ E│Elder Scrolls I │Bethesda Softwo│01-31-94│ 313840│A.EXE │ │Empire │Interstel │07-19-88│ 222303│EMPIRE.EXE │ │England Football Championshi│Grandslam Video│05-12-91│ 53860│ENGLAND.EXE │ │Eye of the Beholder │SSI │02-20-91│ 264496│EOB.EXE │ │Face Off!

Hopefully I will take care of these in a future version. E - Elder Scrolls I, Future Wars, Jack Nicklaus Unlimited Golf, Lemmings, Oh No More Lemmings, Rally, Spear of Destiny, and Tetris Classic must be expanded with UNP before they can be unprotected. A recent version of UNP can be found on The Programmer's Corner (listed below) or on the Internet site OAK.OAKLAND.EDU. L - Instead of patching 4D Sports Boxing, Alone in the Dark, Budokan, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, Hillsfar, Might and Magic III, Stunts, Tunnels & Trolls, Turbo Outrun, Ultima VI, and Wayne Gretzky Hockey II a small program will be created which you must use to run them. 1 - BC's Quest for Tires can now be copied using a normal disk copy, but it can still only be run from the A drive. Trying to play it on a different drive may result in data loss for any disk in the A drive. 2 - If you are going to play Test Drive II on a hard disk you must have the DISKID.DAT file from the Play Disk not the Program Disk. 3 - If patching your current Scenario Disk for Ultima III doesn't work then you must make a new one by: 1) making a normal copy of the Program Disk, 2) patching that copy, then 3) copying the following files from your old Scenario Disk: PARTY.ULT, ROSTER.ULT, & SOSARIA.ULT. Patching a Scenario Disk made with MKPLAY.EXE does not seem work. The Patcher will bring up a list of the above software titles and publishers and wait for your selection. You can maneuver through the list with the numeric keypad or the mouse, also you can use the alpha keys to quickly locate the first letter of the title. Once you have made your selection either type in its corresponding number and press enter, or double click on it. Clicking once on the input line is equivelant to pressing enter. Next The Patcher will ask for the directory were the software is installed. It will accept any DOS path, leaving it blank will default to the current directory. When you're done hit enter or click on the input line. Finally The Patcher will attempt to modify your software to bypass all signs of copy-protection and allow it to work fully on a hard drive. First it will determine which version of the program is closest to the one you have. It will then return one of three possible messages for each file which needs to be patched telling you how successful it was. If it returns OK then the patch was probably successful, meaning you will be able to use the software without any more hassles. This will save you time, and your manuals and disks from wear & tear. If it returns SIZE then the size of the protected file is different meaning you have a different version of the software than the patch is intended for and it is unlikely the patch will work. If there is an ERROR make sure that you are entering the correct path and that all files which need to be patched are in the same directory. * I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY EFFECTS THIS MAY CAUSE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ON ANY HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE. * The Patcher IS TO BE USED FOR LAWFUL PURPOSES ONLY, NOT PIRACY! Nor is it to be used in violation of any software licensce agreement. * DO NOT DAMAGE YOUR ORIGINALS. Write protect the orginal disk before attempting to make and patch the backup. If you have experienced any problems with a previous patch then check the revised patches lists for a better one. If you have any problems with a current patch or have any information as to whether one does or doesn't work on another version of the same software title, either send a note to my address or a private message to the following BBS telling me anything you can about the version number, and the dates and sizes of the files as well as which version of The Patcher you are using.
