Hardware emulation. DOSBox-X emulates hardware components such as CPU, sound card, graphics, and peripherals. It supports various CPU types, from 8086 to Pentium, allowing you to adjust the emulation speed as needed.
Support for multiple systems. In addition to DOS, it can emulate other systems like Windows 3.x, 9x, and certain versions of OS/2. This makes it easy to run software designed for older environments.
Flexible configuration. Allows customization of emulation parameters such as memory, screen resolution, and CPU speed. Settings are saved in configuration files for reuse.
File management. Includes tools for handling virtual disks, ISO images, and network drives. Supports mounting local directories as DOS drives.
Video and audio recording. Can capture gameplay in AVI format and export audio to WAV. Recording is done without affecting emulation performance.
Advanced graphics modes. Emulates graphics cards such as VGA, SVGA, and Hercules, with support for custom resolutions and scaling filters.
Networking and multiplayer. Includes IPX network emulation for LAN games and support for virtual modems. Works with old protocols like TCP/IP over DOS.
Joystick compatibility. Detects and configures modern controllers for old games that require a joystick or gamepad.
Integrated debugging. Tools for developers, such as a code debugger and memory monitor, useful for analyzing and modifying old software.
Interface customization. Allows changing themes, fonts, and window layouts. Supports custom skins to adapt the appearance.
Script support. Execution of batch files and task automation using predefined commands. Ideal for complex setups.
Printer emulation. Redirects print output to PDF or text files, simulating dot matrix and laser printers of the era.

Development is led by a team of contributors on GitHub, maintaining regular updates. The program is written in C++ and distributed under the GNU GPL license.
