In their own words

DOS Wasm X

DOS Wasm X is a free, browser-based DOS emulator built around the DOSBox-X codebase and using WebAssembly. It provides virtual hard drive choices of 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB and RAM choices of 32 MB, 64 MB, or 128 MB. The browser stores the drive so users can return later, and it can be exported as an image for local saving. Supported file types include ISO, ZIP, BIN, CUE, IMG, and 7z; users can import and export files and change a CD while the emulator is running. Controls include mobile mode, an on-screen keyboard, gamepad support, full screen, zoom, mouse capture, CPU speed and emulator time settings, and pause and resume. Audio, dark mode, and resolution resizing are also listed. Windows 95 or Windows 98 can be installed with the user's own Windows copy and ISO. The project can be hosted on a web server by copying the dist folder or run in a container using its Docker command. Before leaving after using Windows, shut it down within the guest system to save drive changes.

DOSVAXJ3

DOSVAXJ3 is a free emulator for AX, J-3100, and DOS/V systems, based on DOSBox. It runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, starting in DOS/V mode; J-3100 mode is enabled through the configuration file. Japanese keyboard and text entry work through Windows or macOS IME or Linux XIM. Japanese fonts are included, and additional font files can shape the display like original hardware. The emulator boots Toshiba DOS, DOS/V, and other disk-image files. It supports long filenames and copying displayed text to the clipboard. The maker lists Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, plus Linux and macOS. Windows downloads include 32-bit and 64-bit executable bundles and separate debugger bundles. Linux and macOS users must build and install SDL-IM-plus before building their versions. DOSVAXJ3 is listed under GPL v2, with source code on GitHub.
