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.

Software Pirates Inc. presents Unprotect KING'S QUEST II by Sierra Online This document, along with the associated files, will allow you to make runable copies of your original KING'S QUEST II game disks. REQUIRMENTS 1. Original King's Quest II game disks. 2. DOS' DISKCOPY.COM program (not included) 3. DOS' DEBUG.COM program (not included) 4. ALTER.EXE to change file attributes (included) 5. KQ2.EXE runs the unprotected game (included) Step 1: Use DOS' diskcopy program to make copies of both of KING'S QUEST II's original game disks. Note: Disk #1 should report problems trying to copy track 6. Don't be alarmed at this, it is merely part of the protection scheme, that we don't want copied. When copies are made, put the originals away to collect dust, you won't be needing them anymore. Step 2: The author has put illegal filenames in the directory so that you can't list all the files on the disk. We must make one file name legal before we can see what else is on the disk. To "legalize" this file name we need to use DOS's DEBUG program. Once inside DEBUG you will see the '-' prompt. Put KQ2's disk #1 into drive A. From the DEBUG prompt do the following: -L 100 0 5 1 ;load in 1st part of directory -E 120 'N' ;change illegal character to an N -W 100 0 5 1 ;write changes back to disk -Q ;end debug program Step 3: Using the ALTER.EXE program, we want to change the attribute of file MAIN.EXE from HSRA to normal. To do this type the following: A>B:ALTER A:MAIN.EXE At this point ALTER.EXE will ask you for the attribute you want to change MAIN.EXE to. Type in an 'N' for normal attribute. The attribute will then be normal. You can see the file when you do a DIR. Step 4: You now want to rename the file MAIN.EXE to KQ2.EXE. This will allow you to copy KQ2.EXE over the space formaly used by MAIN.EXE program. This way no game data will be destroyed. Step 5: Copy KQ2.EXE to King's Quest II's disk #1. That's all there is to it. You now have a working copy of King's Quest II that can be copied with DISKCOPY. NOTE: This game will no longer be self-booting as it originally was. You must boot up to DOS and then put KQ2's disk #1 into drive A. To start simply type A:KQ2, once the game begins it will play just as the original does. Ok now sit back and enjoy the game. 2/86 ETS This UNP might not work with all versions (eg.:1.0W).
