It used to work fine, and I probably would have rated it three stars. It had one glaring, and strange, bad feature: you had to be connected to the internet to use the emulator. This makes absolutely no sense at all. Nowadays, it won't even launch, the last update was 6 years ago or so, so I don't expect it to ever work again. Look for something else. Maybe retroarch has Dos support?

The best dos app. I would only like extra features such as different fonts, font sizes, background and font colours and maybe make loading games more accessible with visual ui

Not really the best when I attempted to run a console-window application that was an 'exe'. When I went to run that .exe file, it returned a "reboot requested, quitting now" after I tried running the file. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong when I run a file with this app, just enter the shown exe name fully from what I understand.
