KolibriOS: can't run DOSBox

[Ser-Gen]

• Version of v86: ec3ecde2 (Feb 23, 2025 11:02)
• Browser/OS: Chrome 134.0.6998.166 / macOS 14.5
• KolibriOS, https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=kolibrios

I can't run DOSBox or anything else from this menu. After clicking, the system continues to work, but programs from this menu are not launched.

KolibriOS comes as a 1.4 MB floppy disk or a ~100 MB live CD image, and the emulators are available on the CD only.

However, if I boot the current live CD image "20 mar 2025" of KolibriOS in v86 it freezes after about a minute, and from then only unfreezes for such short periods that it is not usable.

To make sure I then booted the live CD image in qemu and was able to start DOSBox from the system menu.

Can confirm: LiveCD freezes shortly after KOS enables networking.

@chschnell - please can you share some directions for QEMU? I cannot get to run on UTM. 🙏

Sure!

So nothing special. Tested with MINGW64 (Windows) and Debian Linux.

@ace-dent: By the way, KolibriOS is impressive, its boot time is outlandish!
