DOSBox Portable

Running applications and games that were made a long time ago, back in the days where DOS was the main buzz, for what today we could call antiquated computers, may be a more difficult job that you would expect.
In case your modern age PC finds it too much to load a 25-year old app, don't be discouraged as there are means of getting that little program to work even better than in its days of glory. Through the use of dedicated emulators it is now possible to enjoy the look and feel of those old programs.
One of the best tools in this category is DOSBox Portable and the fact that you don't have to install it on every system where you wan to use it is a great advantage. Running this utility from an USB storage device will not make it less quick, nor will it wear down any of its components.
As soon as you deploy the software, you will be greeted by the familiar DOS look and a welcome message that informs you about the choices you have when it comes to learning how to properly use DOSBox Portable.
The well documented INTRO section contains the necessary information to get you started on learning how to mount drives and partitions from the local computer, how to use special keys and the way in which they can be modified.
There are many useful and unexpected features to be found in DOSBox Portable like sound recording in WV format or taking screenshots. All things considered, it is safe to say that this application deserves indeed a spot in the utility belt of any user, especially since it is so easy to use and the DOS programs that are loaded work without a glitch.
