DOS 32A compatibility list - dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging GitHub Wiki
Overview
Please read that page to learn more about the DOS/32A extender. The following list is kept for historical reasons now. You no longer need to switch to DOS/32A anymore. There are (very) few exceptions like Albion but it is safe for you to just stick to whatever extender your games come with.
Note: Ctrl+F comes in handy to search for specific title(s).
If you still need to download DOS/32A, visit here and click on dos32a-912-bin.zip. Within the zip file, open the binw folder, extract dos32a.exe into your game folder, and follow the instructions here accordingly.
If the above archive.org download link no longer works, you can also download dos32a-912-bin.zip here.
