Yes! Quite well, actually - on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Bear in mind that this is written entirely in JavaScript, so please adjust your expectations. ## Should this have been a native app? Absolutely. ## Does it run Doom (or my other favorite game)? You'll likely be better off with an actual virtualization app, but the short answer is yes. In fact, a few games are already preinstalled - and more can be found on the Internet, for instance at [archive.org](https://www.archive.org). [Thanks to @DisplacedGamers](https://youtu.be/xDXqmdFxofM) I can recommend that you switch to a resolution of 640x480 @ 256 colors before starting DOS games - just like in the good ol' days. ## Credits 99% of the work was done over at [v86](https://github.com/copy/v86/) by Copy aka Fabian Hemmer and his contributors. ## Contributing Before you can run this from source, you'll need the disk image. It's not part of the repository, but you can grab it using the `Show Disk Image` button from the packaged release, which does include the disk image. You can find that button in the `Modify C: Drive` section. Unpack the `images` folder into the `src` folder, creating this layout: ``` - /images/windows95.img - /images/default-state.bin - /assets/... - /bios/... - /docs/... ``` Once you've done so, run `npm install` and `npm start` to run your local build. If you want to tinker with the image or make a new one, check out the [QEMU docs](./docs/qemu.md). ## Other Questions * [MS-DOS seems to brick the screen](./HELP.md#ms-dos-seems-to-brick-the-screen) * [Windows 95 is stuck in a bad state](./HELP.md#windows-95-is-stuck-in-a-bad-state) * [I want to install additional apps or games](./HELP.md#i-want-to-install-additional-apps-or-games) * [Running in Docker](./docs/docker-instructions.md) * [Running in an online VM with Kubernetes and Gitpod](./docs/docker-kubernetes-gitpod.md) ## License This project is provided for educational purposes only.
