DOS ain't dead

DOSBox-X 0.84.1 released! (Announce)

Thanks for the feedback. I changed the default memory size to 8MB for the HX-DOS version in the hope to lower RAM requirements for the DOS system, but it is easily configurable via “memsize” option, e.g. “DOSBOX-X -SET MEMSIZE=16” for 16MB of RAM. I also tried Necromancer's Dos Navigator v3.00.0007 (D32), and it appears to run in the HX-DOS version with 12MB of RAM or more. I did not notice issue with this other than the RAM requirement. In any case, I had reverted the default memory size of the HX-DOS version to 16MB, and you can download the latest development versions of DOSBox-X from:

Thanks for your support.
