Emulating LUNATIC.EXE in DOSee.

Use these tabs to make adjustments to the emulation


When prompted for Choose Computer DO NOT select 6 486DX2/66.

Choose Sounddevice 1 Soundplayer LPT1

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


Reload DOSee to autorun LUNATIC.EXE

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 slow?
Set the emulator to use maximum CPU speed

Emulation too fast?
Set the emulator to use the 8086 CPU configuration

Need to turn off the audio?
Disable sound card support

Have no audio?
  1. Try SoundBlaster 1.0 hardware
  2. The song or audio file maybe missing from the program
  3. Audio may not be supported
    Unlike other systems of the era, audio for DOS was unfortunately complicated for both programmers and end users alike. A lot of early scene software didn't bother including it. While those that did often didn't test it on all the hardware they supposedly supported.


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.

It took many hours to finish Lunatic, mainly because of our complex vectorsystem, but I think it was worth it. The coding is made by Zyric and Baldric but it'd be impossible to say who made what, coz we work very well together and have worked on the same routines. The graphics are made by Nik and Rubber Duck and the music by a famous musician called Omikron. System requirements: ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ * 386 processor (486 preferably) │ │ * VGA (a fast one, even more important than a 486) │ │ * About 550 KB Base Memory, No EMM, QEMM or similar │ │ * The demo supports SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster PRO, SoundPlayers and │ │ the poor internal speaker │ │ * Modem, LaserPrinter and Scanner are optional :-) │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Since this demo was mainly developed on a 386/25 and a 386/16 with slow VGA cards, we were stunned when we tested it on a 486 with local bus because many routines were running too fast, but we didn't have the time to fix that so if you have a fast VGA card, select a better computer in the setup (and opposite if you have a slow card) Q: This demo competed at the computer crossroad, but why didn't you release it? A: Because our SoundBlasterRoutine fucked up. Somehow the DMA didn't like the size (in memory) of our demo and wasn't able to output the data correcly. This is now fixed, and we hope it'll work fine on every computer. Q: I was at the party in Gothenburg, and when you showed the demo on the bigscreen there was no sound, was this the same problem? A: NO! we used Soundplayer at the party coz we were aware of the SoundBlaster bug, but there was some problem with the parallel port or something on their computer so the output signal was too low and almost no sound was heard.
