So far every answer under that question says that emulation is on-topic, to one extent or another. | |

| Jul 27, 2021 at 15:47 | comment | added | user3840170 | One of the example questions at the emulation tag wiki is ‘Which Commodore 64 emulator offers better compatibility for ⟨game⟩?’, so by that token compatibility questions are on-topic. It’s not a huge stretch to extend this to running Windows on an emulator of the DOS/PC platform. ‘BuT dOsBoX iS mOdErN’ is irrelevant. | |

| Jul 26, 2021 at 21:33 | comment | added | Raffzahn | @wizzwizz4 The question is about DOSBox, and the reason it doesn't work (which might be what you learned) is due a component of DOSBox. There is no gray region here that would make it on topic in any way. The most relevant point here is that DOSBox is modern, supported software, so any support request should first go there - like with any other software. | |
| Jul 26, 2021 at 20:32 | comment | added | wizzwizz4♦ | Given the answer, I actually think this is on-topic. (Yeah, yeah, the scope of the question shouldn't depend on the answers – but I learnt something about the subject matter that changes my opinion of the scope, so it doesn't count.) | |
| Jul 26, 2021 at 20:09 | comment | added | Justme | Wrong tool for this purpose. DosBox is meant to run games, not business software or another OS like Windows. There are much more suitable virtual environments to run Windows than DosBox. | |

| Jul 26, 2021 at 19:25 | comment | added | wizzwizz4♦ | As of 2011, Windows 9x wasn't supported in DOSBox. The crashing is well-known as of 2017 – though this might be among the first times it's crashed just starting Windows. | |
| Jul 26, 2021 at 19:22 | comment | added | Raffzahn | Isn't DOSBox a still maintained software? So, if DOSBox crashes, wouldn't asking their support be the most appropriate place? Even then, it might be helpful to give basic information about the environment used, like what OS, distribution, setup, etc. | |
