Useful DOS utilities

Hard disk utilities

ANYDRIVE Anydrive reprograms the BIOS to allow using any hard disk up to 512 MB size, even if the BIOS does not support it. It installs a small transparent program into the boot sector of the hard disk.

CD-ROM utilities

BCD BCD is a CD-ROM drive emulator which will allow you to install and play most CD-ROM based games on a computer without the CD (or a CD drive). Has the widest compatibility between different DOS games.
FAKECD FAKECD is another program to emulate a CD drive. Use this as an alternative if your game doesn't work with BCD.

Video utilities

    • Text Mode “TM” is a video utility that will allow you to switch between different DOS resolutions.
