Running Real DOS and Windows Inside a Scratch 8086 Emulator

I have built a mostly functional 8086 emulator within Scratch that boots real DOS and Windows. While it runs on Scratch, I recommend using TurboWarp for better performance. You can access the C drive to launch Windows, though mouse emulation and full keyboard navigation are still work in progress. Please note that repeating the same key requires a brief pause to register correctly.

Access the C drive by typing C: and hitting enter, there is some fun stuff there like Windows, and other things which probably don't work.

More from this day
