DOXBox is truly amazing. I've been using it for some time now, and it's caused miracles to happen, particularly after the 0.72 release came out. It runs almost any DOS game now, and in most cases runs it very well (better than the original DOS setup did in some cases). I've been able to play tons of old DOS-era Star Wars games with it, which brings a smile to my face.

Now that most DOS games can be run successfully under XP with DOSBox, the hardest games to get working at this point are certain ones that were actually written for Windows (95/98)... some of them just won't even install under XP without bombing out. And I'm at a loss for how to fix that.
