I don't have a need to use it myself, as I have a number of computers running a variety of operating systems, but many people who frequent the Communication Devices section of the forum swear by it. I also have acquaintances who use it regularly.
If I wished to obtain some information regarding DOSbox or any other software I contemplated using, I would firstly visit the software author's/manufacturer's website and read what appears there. In this case the site is .
It is also available from SourceForge.net, a very useful site to bookmark, as Sourceforge has much useful software for download. The site is quite safe to use, as is the vast range of open-source software appearing there.
I would then use a search engine, such as duckduckgo.com, yahoo or google, with search terms such as "who uses dosbox?" - .
Now, read and evaluate the comments appearing at the various sites returned by your search.
Anyway, why don't you download and try a copy of DOSbox yourself?
You have nothing to lose and have possibly much to gain.
If for some reason you don't like it, simply uninstall it.
Do your own evaluation. It is really very straight forward.
