DOS ain't dead

DOSBox-X 0.83.7 released (Announce)

You only need winmm.dll, dsound.dll and dpci.dll from HX+, so you can always add these files to your current HX.DOS package as sound card drivers. It's not the perfect solition, but mostly works. Perfect for DOSbox-X with the latest release from Japheth. For older versions of DOSBox, mouse behavour may be glitchy if you don't use the corresponding DKRNL32.DLL a well, this is why I use a heavily scripted, morbidly mixed Frankenstein HX package, but currently it works. Properly written batch scripts place the appropriate alternate files to a directory on a RAM-disk according to the program I want to execute or according to the keyboard I use (I modified HXGUIHLP.DLL for my laptop so it can accept alternative manu keys). The real problem is not that it's not updated anymore, the problem is that it's not modular enough. It'd be useful if HX had an easy way to replace the sound card driver and the sound card driver ONLY, so it could be developed independently of HX itself.

DOS isn't about why. It's about why not.
