For the Controller Mapper, there are presets for generic keyboards, Mice, generic controllers, brand-specific controllers (Gravis and Thrustmaster, for example), along with custom mapping. You can map mouse and keyboard commands to a USB controller to play your old DOS games from the comfort of your sofa and a modern gaming controller, such as those for Xbox and PlayStation. All of the presets can be tweaked to your liking.
General: Modify hotkeys, control game speeds, tweak FPS, and use configuration files.
Input: Keyboard, mouse, and controller settings can be tweaked. Mouse sensitivity, analog joystick deadzones, automatic gamepad mapping, and more can be tweaked here.
Performance: Set the raw performance, limit the CPU performance for sensitive games (Wing Commander is known to be sensitive), and show performance statistics.
Video: Tweak the emulated GPU (CGA/EGA/VGA/SVGA and more), add more graphics memory. Emulate a 3DFX Voodoo card, add a CRT filter, scaling, and more.
System: Change the emulated machine's RAM, CPU type (386/486/Pentium), CPU cores, and OS specific options.
Audio : Change the soundcard from a range of Soundblaster compatible cards, enable MIDI, Adlib. Gravis Ultrasound
No! You can install a period-specific version of Windows and run Windows-based games, too! DOSBox Pure Unleashed also supports 3dfx Voodoo cards, so you can play older 3D games with full 3D acceleration. During this era, I had a Voodoo 2 12MB, and I was blown away by games such as G-Police and Incoming. Then I played Tomb Raider to death!
To run Windows games with DOSBox Pure Unleashed, you will need a copy of Windows 95 to XP, and of course, the CD key. Then follow these steps, and you will soon have a retro-gaming PC setup.
1. Open DOSBox Pure Unleashed and drag an ISO for the operating system onto the user interface.
2. Select Boot and Install New Operating System.
