Bootable USB-stick image: vmdos with FreeDOS, no games (commit 8955668).

Write it to a USB stick (4 GB or larger; everything on the stick is replaced):

  • Linux: xz -dc vmdos-usb.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=4M conv=fsync (find sdX with lsblk)
  • Windows / macOS: balenaEtcher or Rufus (DD mode) with vmdos-usb.img.xz

Then pick the stick in the PC's boot menu, UEFI (Secure Boot off) or legacy BIOS. The stick is drive C: (a 2000 MiB FAT partition; changes are kept). Add games by copying them onto the stick from any computer, and ISO files (e.g. to C:\ISOS) for VMCD D: C:\ISOS\GAME.ISO.

Your own boot-menu entries go in /boot/grub/custom.cfg on the stick (both modes).

vmdos.efi alone: for an existing EFI system partition (see the README).
