Latest reviews
- (2025-03-04) Havoc Prognosis: It's fine, I suppose. Mr. Magnum is right, for games to load at all you're gonna wanna use his config file. Even then, fullscreen is glitched and the performance could be better. # DOSBox configuration file [cpu] core=normal cycles=10000 [sdl] output=ddraw

- (2023-08-20) Rusty Dalit: PLEASE I NEED SOME HELP ASAP!! Is there a solution to when you open dosbox, it automatically closes, before i even drop my cursor.
- (2023-07-12) peckish_tooth: Exits abruptly after displaying the hint. Also, navigating to a game folder through the browser only displays folders, contents are greyed out.
- (2022-09-24) Mario Alberto :P: As soon as i launch the app, it just goes straight to a blank black box, i still tried to import a file, but at the end nothing happened. Hope someone can fix this. Edited: i fixed the problem thanks to someone down in the reviews, i had to erase just one file from the apps advance settings.

- (2021-03-29) JahelCD Animations: On the PC version, I can officially use Windows 95 with the .img file for windows 95, and used the right code. So Can it work the the chromebook version????
- (2021-03-23) Alex: GUYSSSS!!! Here is how to do it. 1. make a big folder of your games 2. Unzip your game and inside there will be a folder. Copy it and put it in the Dos Box folder. 3. Go to import and tap the folder with the games. 4. Type dir 5 . cd DOSBOX~1 (I named my folder Dos Box so that is what I type.) 6. dir 7. cd "Game" Type the game you want that you see on top in all caps. 8. dir 9. Type in the word that has .exe at the end and resembles the actual game. (For example if I want to play Tetris I type TETRISC.exe because that is what resembles to the game and has .exe 10. It should work. Type in what color and sounds you want if not automatic.
- (2021-03-11) Alex Mccullagh: doesnt load games tried changing to all different settings but nowt
- (2021-02-27) Max Crooks: For anyone having trouble where it just displays a black screen, try going into the settings and deleting "output=opengl" from the launch options. It worked for me!

- (2020-07-18) Austin Pittard: wont work at all. the only thing that appears upon start up is the quwstion mark at the bottom of the sceen. this is complete rubbish.
- (2020-03-08) dishwasher3100 Jaune: Just didn't work, if your using dosbox you have some technical skill and can use it in Linux compatibility in chrome os. Don't bother with this guy.
- (2020-03-03) camgamer XL: stoped working for me
- (2020-02-20) Jan Kreller: It's fantastic that we have our beloved DosBox as a Chrome Extension. But since it won't recognize the changes made in the config file, it is useless imho. I even can't change from windowed to fullscreen mode although I added the correct lines into the config file. Besides: We need a frontend like D-Fend in ChromeOS!
- (2020-02-04) carrol sue: its grate but the menu wont show up so i cant actually get the files to run after being imported
- (2019-10-24) Thomas Blume: Hey I cant find a way to play because every time I go on it just a back screen can someone help me
- (2019-10-07) felix jones: i downloaded it and it would not show the camand menu would not show up and that means i could not do anything
- (2019-06-21) Br4veness_07: i couldnt get it to work and I am on chrome 76
- (2019-05-14) Terry Hunt: Used to work but not any more. I get a message saying it successfully loaded then just a black screen with a question mark in the corner that opens the options.
- (2019-03-27) my brother went on my computer and downloaded this, and now i dont know how to get it off my computer. Can someone please help????
- (2018-12-30) Paul Olm: Works perfectly on my Acer Chromebook 11. I have even installed and run Quick Basic 4.5 in this version of dosbox! amazing!
- (2018-12-23) TheWashambro: A little tricky to figure out but then it's good this guide helped me alot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoidIMg2Acw
- (2018-11-13) Mr.Magnum: actually this works you have to go threw some changes in the settings in advanced setup. doom and doom 2 run fine on it but more advanced ones have some trouble loading such as warcraft. i cannot fix the fullscreen or the mouse tracking. the # fixes the black screen but most games wont load. click on the question mark go to advanced setup delete everything and replace it with this: # DOSBox configuration file [cpu] core=normal cycles=10000 [sdl] output=ddraw
- (2018-10-17) GTA Freak: make it for chrome 69 plz
- (2018-10-16) Ronald St.Jock III (Ronnie): Anyone having issues with a black screen, Click on the question mark in the lower right hand corner and comment out the opengl handle. Under SDL, put a # in the beginning of the string.
- (2018-09-26) Robert Nussberger: eh... All it is is a big black window. My lg metro phone works for this but when I use the chromebook for this and turn on the DOSBox, it just shows nothing. I am not greeted to the big blue window. And when I type, the letters are invisible. I am learning dos or atleast trying to learn dos, but this dos is not working. If you would like to have my 4 or 5 stars, please fix this issue or inform me if I am making a mistake.
- (2018-09-25) Daniel Jimenez: i make the window big but the game does not go big like the window
- (2018-09-10) For the users having the black screen issue: Follow this link http://klaig.blogspot.com/2014/07/tutorial-how-to-play-old-dos-games-on.html and then in the advanced setup of DOSBox, find the line that says output=opengl and put a "#" then a space. Click apply and close DOSBox. Open it up and it should work just fine. Not sure how the heck people figured out how to use this but kudos to you! Hope this helps ^_^
