As its developers have made it clear, DOSBox's main focus is on
DOS games. This is evident by the fact that much of the code is
somewhat accurate code with kludges to make DOS games run,
instead of focusing on what hardware actually does.

The original DOSBox project was not written by one programmer. It
has been under development since late 2000 with patches, fixes,
and improvements from members all over the Vogons forums. Despite

Meanwhile, some of the changes themselves incorporated code from
other projects.
