Dos Bootable flash drives- contents suggestions

Post by fauvem »

I'm making my flash drive bootable for gaming reason since my laptop has no floppy disk drive & my PC for my dos games fried :cry: So I've got the stuff the stuff necessary for it but is there anything else that should be added to it for preformance for the dosgames?

I can't afford a USB floppy drive & some of the unstable games will not run on dos box.

What games are you intending to run,

as a bootable dos disk wont make much difference where as a processor is really fast


Your best bet would be to get an old dos PC..

Where are you from in the world, i got plenty of 486 motherboards
