DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes it very easy to port to different platforms. It has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, MacOS X. It also emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, a SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card for excellent sound compatibility with older games.
