  • DOSBox - The most popular DOS emulator, though outdated an not as advanced as DOSBox-X.
  • 86box - A more comprehensive x86 PC emulator.

  • PCem The project from which 86Box was forked, it hasn't seen a release in a while, but from what I understand it's faster on somewhat lower end machines. Use 86Box if you can, as it's the future.
