I've known about DOSBOX for a long time. I have tried it and, personally, I think it is junk. Too much configuration and the games run worse than with the emulator in Win XP. So far I have had the original Master of Orion, Silent Hunter, Wing Commander III, and a few more running all quite well, with sound, without using it.
