After eagerly waiting for Dosbian 2.0, I've decided to continue the development of the great Dosbian on my own and release it here. Dosbian-X is based on the original Dosbian image created by Carmelo Maiolino. I extended it with the latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit) and all common DOSBox emulators.
Dosbian-X includes:
If you have problems, fixes, comments please create an issue, pull request or start a discussion. Have fun and enjoy the 90s with your Raspberry Pi. More updates will follow...
If you like to support the development, you can buy me a coffee.
To use Dosbian-X, download the latest release from here and burn it on a microSD card, e.g. with balenaEtcher.
To connect your Raspberry Pi to your Wifi or enable the SSH server, put ssh
or wpa_supplicant.conf
files to your boot folder (the FAT32 partition of the microSD card) or start raspi-config
on the Pi. More details can be found here.
You can build your own SD image of Raspbian for the Dosbian-X on your local ARM compatible machine (tested on Macbook M1) using Docker Desktop. After installing Docker, you should tune it a bit to speed up the build process:
Then create the requried docker image with:
make docker-build
and after that build the Dosbian-X image with
make
The final image will be written into the folder images
and is has a filename that includes a recent UTC date
Dosbian-x.y.img
. Simply burn that image to a microSD card using balenaEtcher and boot.
