DOSBox Sees Continued Success

Posted by Soulskill on from the but-does-it-have-xp-mode dept.

KingofGnG writes "DOSBox, the emulator designed to run DOS games on modern operating systems (and not necessarily on a PC), has been chosen as project of the month for May on SourceForge. It's the latest award granted to a piece of software that 'simply does what it is supposed to do,' as the authors say. After having amassed more than 10 million downloads, it will soon be getting an update that's been awaited for almost two years."

    State saving is much more difficult for DOS games than for console games

    Why? Can't you just save an image of the RAM? What is the big problem?
