emu2
« on: November 21, 2025, 06:54:09 pm »
today for something incredibly useless, I put together a tiny port of emu2 from

https://github.com/dmsc/emu2

which is a bit silly because we already have the VDM, but programming exercises are fun..

to run programs you can either use emu2 to start a command prompt (i used 4dos):

Code: [Select]
emu2.exe c:\utils\4dos\4dos.com
or run programs directly (everyone should have this one)

Code: [Select]
emu2.exe c:\os2\mdos\qbasic.exe
see the documentation on github for some other settings.

here it is running Turbo Pascal 6:

Thanks Fusion

Let me give it a try too.

Let me turn philosophical here. It is useless until someone find it useful. Maybe there is some limitation that our DOS VDM has, that this doesn't. Let's give it a try.

Hi

It's nice, some basic DOS stuff runs. Here it is QBASIC.

Hello Fusion

Thanks for the port, I want to include it on Hobbes.
Let me know if you like the "emu2.txt" file I am attaching. Let me know if you want to add or remove something.
