DOSBox can be configured to include a debugger. The feature is not enabled in the official binary but the enhanced derivative projects probably have it (DOSBox-X definitely does):

DOSBox-x on FreeBSD at least has is disabled by default, but it can be enabled when building from ports (make config).

  • Hey because I don't feel like making a phone call to my BSD expert, is that a flag? Like in Gentoo it would be like

    USE="debugger" emerge -vaD bochs #portage reads env and will set flags this way or in /etc/portage/packages.use/bochs (folder name packages.use is arbitrary and I'm old school.)

    Curious if BSD is like that too and I am way to tired to attempt to search for it with correct words...
