If you have NE2000 enabled in your DOSBox-X config file, you may want to check the Network adapter check box. If you get a prompt stating that C:\WINDOWS already exists, ignore it, and continue the installation.ĭuring the installation it may ask you if you have a CD-ROM, Network card or sound card that you want it to scan for. The pre-defined HDD templates can be seen by running IMGMAKE without arguments. When creating your HDD image with IMGMAKE, instead of specifying a custom size, you can choose a pre-defined template.


Starting with DOSBox-X 0.83.21 the turbo mode is automatically disabled the moment a key is pressed, to prevent spurious keypresses to be registered causing undesirable effects. This turbo mode is not like the old Turbo button on retro PCs, but functions more like a fast-forward, and therefore should not be used when interacting with the guest OS.

You may be able to speed this up considerably (depending on the host CPU) by using the DOSBox-X Turbo mode, which can be enabled from the drop-down menu bar by selecting "CPU" followed by "Turbo (Fast Forward)". Some parts of the installation can take a considerable amount of time.
