I saw that the latest dev build had added Windows support for the experimental new Dosbox core, and wanted to try it out. I load up the .iso-file with the Dosbox-core which gives med a DOS-prompt with mounted drives. When I try to launch a windows-only file from there I get the message "This program cannot be run in DOS mode.". How does the Windows-support work?

This is still under development (both code and documentation), but here's a guide that includes how to install and run Windows on bizhawk: https://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk/DOSBox

Are you saying I will be able to TAS The Summoning or Al-Qadim in Bizhawk? Will it run Mice Maze? I remember that game not being possible to run in JPC.

The first two titles you mention show up on DOSBox's compatibility list (not DOSBox-X since it doesn't have one) as for Mice Maze it doesn't, but it seems like that is also compatible. You can always just make sure it works yourself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi Emil_Borg, thanks for taking the effort to produce this but we had already a 3.11 installation movie that takes care of installing some extra necessary drivers besides the system itself. https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638831831749361921 We just forgot to upload it, so thanks for bringing this up. The link has been updated in https://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk/DOSBox Please use that one if you are ever considering creating a 3.11 TAS for submission
