Emulating ALPHA.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 slow?
Set the emulator to use maximum CPU speed

Emulation too fast?
Set the emulator to use the 8086 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?
  1. Try SoundBlaster 1.0 hardware
  2. Try Covox Sound Master hardware
  3. The song or audio file maybe missing from the program

  4. 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.

;------- ; Alpha ;------- Yeah, it's not the best name in the world, but it was an interim name that just ended up sticking. I coded the whole thing, wrote the music, and did the art... but now I have a musician, and am getting better at the art... and now I have my own whole programming team! Two guys, Phentari and Joe Shmo, are going to help me with the next demo. It's being coded in 386p mode (thanks Tran) and should be a *hell* of a lot slicker than the one you have now. So why did I release this one? Mainly because my original intention was to code this one in C, and then recode it in ASM... but the C version was significantly different than the resulting assembler versions, so I released the C version as FRiAR's Funhouse, and the assembler version will probably be called 'Distoria' - the current working name. We'll see. Anyway, the opening routines(stars and words) and the shadebobs were routines I had hanging around. The openers I have used for loaders, and the shadebobs were an experiment. You will find an early source to the first shadebobs, in assembler, with this archive... The curtain was heavily inspired by the FC 'wormhole'... and the scrollers were last minute touches (notice how slow they are, for their size; they're totally unoptimized)... So there you have it. Oh yeah; the "CRISIS.<alt-255>" file is actually a mod, called "Fun Stuff"... I threw that one together real quick because I needed a tune for this thing. L8a, and keep working on demos! -FRiAR TuCK [PCi] 08/19/93
