HardDriv'n Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Are there are any 32bit DOS/(DOS alternative) extenders out there capable of running non-command line Win32 proggies?If not, I'd even be interested in finding out which *free* 32bit DOS extender is considered the best, if there are any... good ones.

CoffeeFiend Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Not totally sure what you're asking.The most popular DOS extender was DOS/4GW, and by a long shot (pharlap was also somewhat popular). Then again, all this stuff has long been EOL'ed (like a decade ago). There's not much people still using DOS (instead of Windows) out there.

jaclaz Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 HXDOS:http://www.japheth.de/HX.htmlIt allows (of course only some "simple") GUI apps to run.Running GUI ApplicationsWith the HXGUI extension it is possible to run simple GUI applications with HX in DOS. "Simple" in this context means applications which use just one window as user interface. Such apps usually are based on SDL, DirectDraw and/or OpenGl. To use HXGUI a VESA V2.0 BIOS with support for linear frame buffer access (LFB) is required.The Win32 API Emulation is enhanced by HX GUI and consists of: DINPUT.DLL: emulates DINPUT.DLLDSOUND.DLL: emulates DSOUND.DLLWINMM.DLL: emulates WINMM.DLLDCIMAN32.DLL: emulates DCIMAN32.DLLWSOCK32.DLL: emulates WSOCK32.DLLSome more dlls are included just as dummies: IPHLPAPI.DLLMSACM32.DLLSHELL32.DLLYMMV. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
