  5. fdpp

    FreeDOS plus-plus, 64bit DOS

    Project mention: The DOS 3.3 Sys.com Bug Hunt | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-24

    DOS can also be a nice, predictable runtime for embedded or low-level systems, as long as you're running x86. Some implementations are even 64-bit clean, such as this one: https://github.com/dosemu2/fdpp.

    I remember this project (https://jimhall.itch.io/toy-cpu), where the author shipped his emulator as a DOS binary instead of a web-based JavaScript version.

    DOS can be used as a lightweight, efficient, and predictable runtime with extremely low system requirements and no need for updates. It can run on bare metal or as a WASM binary.

    The development tools are small, free, and reproducible (e.g., Turbo C), ensuring that the code will still run and compile just fine even 10 years from now. Oh, and it also has some cool TUI libraries, like QuickBASIC.

    Small Linux commands for resource limited systems

  8. fdbox

    A new shell for FreeDOS
