DOS-Emulator

DOS-Emulator is a free IBM PC emulator that runs DOS and is written in Rust. Source code is available under the MIT License, and users can build it with Cargo or download a prebuilt binary from GitHub releases. The README identifies macOS and Ubuntu Linux as supported hosts; Windows lacks the ANSI escape sequences required by its CLI dependency. The project is inspired by DOSBox but is not a direct port, and many features are implemented differently or absent. Only Game of ROBOT episodes 0, 1, 3, and 4 are known to be playable. Its command-line interface can quit, pause into a debugger, or open a keyboard-mapping tool. The debugger profiles instructions, inspects register-selected data, scrolls its overview, and supports continue, step-over, and single-step actions. The architecture separates video and input on a GUI thread from audio synthesis for Sound Blaster and beeper signals. The latest listed release is v0.1.0.
