UPDATE: Having no problems with DOSBOX, I decided to play with DOSBOX-X and see what I could break. The AUR image compiled just fine, and it starts up and logs as if it runs, but the display window never becomes visible. Not sure what is up with that.
DOSBOX runs all of my DOS games and programs well enough (except my BBS software), but DOSBOX-X also can run Win1-3 and Win95-ME software. Most of that stuff runs so light that it should perform well enough on the PBP. IF i can get it visible! Opened an issue with the DOSBOX-X team and will update here if I get something worth reporting.
UPDATE: compiled the package against SDL2 instead of the SDL1 default, and it works great. Recommended, esp if you happen to have old WinME image and programs lying around.
