I remember painful memories of late 90s and early 2000s. Until DosBox, it was impossible to run DOS applications under Linux.

DOSEMU was unusable. It couldn't run anything. I've wanted dos emulation to play my favorite DOS games, DOSEMU couldn't run a single game I've tried. Actually, as far as I remember, it couldn't run any DOS application that I've tried.

Even wine at that time had less issues than DOSEMU, although I suppose implementing windows API is more complex task.

They've probably done a lot in 20 years (and even changed the name/forked the project), but no, I'll stick with DosBox.
