Does using dosbox count as using dos on a daily basis?#17i'm real curious as to whether there's anyone out there who actually unironically uses dos on a daily basis
Nice! Whenever I get a spare USB drive, I want to try booting into FreeDOS on a modern computer, just to see how it runs.

#21i meant using it as a standard operating system, but sure, that's fine too.

Later, just for fun, I might learn how to and make it a fun challenge to spend a day with only dos as an os#21i meant using it as a standard operating system, but sure, that's fine too.

I don't have a real retro computer, so I would probably just use dosbox.Throw in a network card and spend the day browsing gopher sitesLater, just for fun, I might learn how to and make it a fun challenge to spend a day with only dos as an os#21i meant using it as a standard operating system, but sure, that's fine too.

How old does a computer have to be in order to be considered retro?

#26depends on the person, but in regards to this topic you're allowed to discuss any computers released after the year 2005.

Are there any modern games made for dos or have dos ports?

Yeah, PETSCII Robots and Planet X3 are some I remember. Are there any modern games made for dos or have dos ports?

#28yeah, demakes happen on all kinds of consoles and computers. they're usually just for fun, though.

I am currently working on developing an Intel 8086 emulator, here on Scratch. It is pretty unfinished, but I have some of the basics done, and I have found good documentation.
Yeah, but at least we've learned something today… that every moment of our life should be lived to the fullest because it can be very long or very short, my friend. - Gumball
I felt like I wanted to develop games on here, so I won't leave! (for now)

I actually gave up on that emulator, and started working on something else. HOWEVER, one of the reasons I stopped it was because there was already an i386 emulator on Scratch (i386 is better than 8086). here it is however, you cannot run realtime mode (Windows needs this) on it just yet.We could get Windows to run on Scratch soon I am currently working on developing an Intel 8086 emulator, here on Scratch.

aII toasters toast toast, but what happens when there are no longer toasters being produced? will their technology simply become obsolete, with humans moving onto bigger, better things? will toast become a distant memory, written in textbooks of the future as foods us simpler generations ate? who's to say! society is constantly moving, changing, evolving, ideas being built upon, improved upon, theories being proven or disproven. are we but a blip on the timeline? sure, our names may not be remembered, but that's not the point. you can make a change. you can make a difference. you can make the world better, even if you don't know yet. and the first step is to go for it. even if you are afraid of failure. going back to the example of toasters, do you know off the top of your head who invented them? no? have you used one? probably. so, even if you don't remember my name, if I was able to help awnser your question, that is enough. if I was able to help you, even in the slightest way, this could push you to continue with scratch and not give up after the program crashes, and maybe one day learn other programming languages and change the world. everything is a cause and effect reaction, new inventions lead to the technology of the future, and even as the generations of the past are slowly forgotten, their influence lives on to this day, affecting how the world eventually turned out and how it will be for generations to come.
and, without toasters, we wouldn't have toast.
