Dear Maintainer,

The dosbox-x project (https://dosbox-x.com/) is currently version 0.84.3
(2022.09.0)
and seems to be SDL 2 compatible.
Have you tried it?

Thanks,
Patrice

I have, and I’m actually working on packaging it. I’ve just filed an ITP
to trace that fact, https://bugs.debian.org/1022800

So nice!

Do you know this one https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging ?
I found some packagings on Salsa like:
https://salsa.debian.org/okias/dosbox-staging
but it remained at the version 0.76.0 and now the upstream is 0.79.1.
I haven't tried it yet.

Best,
Patrice

I’ve heard of DOSBox Staging, but AFAICT all its features are in DOSBox-X.
Someone else is working on packaging that, see
