Oracle Virtual Box

[Professor Shadow]

I have been playing around with VB making various Virtual Machines...just because.

It was easy installing Windows Server 2016, Windows 11, Ubuntu and Kali, so I thought I would download other OS's and try it.
Here is a screenshot of Ubuntu, Kali, Windows XP SP3, Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 1.04, and DOS 6.22.

One thing I cannot figure out is how to transfer a file from Host to my DOS 6.22 machine. I have the files for Wolfenstein3D
I know Guest Additions will never work. I have tried making the files an ISO file and load using Optical Drive.
Also separate files to move into C:>Wolf3D

You can try to copy the source files of the game on a CD rom or Floppy and mount it externally. Hope this would solve the issue.

Consider DOSBox instead of the overhead of a VirtualBox VM.

The easiest installation is as a portableapp, even if you install locally to your host's C:\ drive.

On my own installation, my DOS-accessible files are stored on the host computer at:
C:\PortableApps\DOSBoxPortable\CDrive
