WePlayDOS: Play DOS Games in Browser – Now Open Source

Hi HN!

I’m thrilled to share WePlayDOS, a project I built to bring the magic of classic DOS games to modern browsers. With the power of the js-dos emulator, anyone can relive their favorite retro games without needing downloads or complicated setups.

Features:

1. Host Anywhere: Self-host the project on any platform you like or deploy it easily using services like Vercel. 2. Customizable: Add your own DOS game ROMs to personalize the experience.

Contributions Welcome: If you have ideas for features or improvements, feel free to submit a PR or suggest them!

How to Get Started? 1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/muditjuneja/weplaydos.games 2. Follow the setup instructions in readme to run locally. 3. Add your own game ROMs to the /roms folder and start playing!

Live Version: If you’d rather just jump in and play, check out the live version at weplaydos.games. It’s ready to go!

Why Open Source? This project started as a way for me to relive the games I loved growing up. By open-sourcing it, I hope to connect with others who share the same passion for retro gaming and who want to help make it even better.

Support: If you like the project, consider buying me a coffee on Ko-fi. Every bit helps me maintain and improve the project.
