Interesting that the trailer is very focused on gaming.<p>I and my clients mainly use Dosbox for 16 bit business applications no longer supported by modern operating systems but still needed for various reasons.<p>The biggest issues they run into is confusion over mounting and mapping drives and printers. (Something that non NIX users still struggle with in modern OSes as the M$ ecosystem never required user input for mounting devices)<p>It would be great to include USB plug and play functionality for flash drives (though that was not a feature of DOS)<p>It looks like this new version does have some nice features, especially the memory dumping and save points which might prove to be a valuable debugging/porting tool.
This is an update for the DOSBOX core in Retroarch.<p>Retroarch is basically a frontend for emulators. A Retroarch core is an application that was ported to use retroarch APIs for display, sound and input handling. This allows Retroarch to be used on a wide variety of platforms.

This is good news for platforms that sell old games (GOG). Anyone who owns a few of those old school games on their platform knows that the DOSBox powered launcher/emulator that they use can be a bit quirky at times. Hopefully this update will help to add some more stability there.
