Japanese DOS/V Dumps Part I

It’s been a long journey to know what exactly has been ever released for this niche platform, called DOS/V, and here we have the first pack which includes only floppy-based releases, sorted by alphabetical order, dumpers named in brackets:

* DOOM (r09)
* Doukyuusei (Redump, Wiggy2k)
* Doukyuusei 2 (Redump, Wiggy2k)
* Farland Story (RinTohsaka project)
* Kairaku Okite – Aoi Taiken (Redump, Wiggy2k)
* Kawararazaki-ke no Ichizoku (RinTohsaka project)
* Power DoLLS (LastCat)
* Power DoLLS 2 (LastCat)
* Power DoLLS 2 DASH (Rockleevk)
* San Shimai (RinTohsaka project)
* Setsujuu ~Yuganda Kioku~ (RinTohsaka project)
* SimCity 2000 (Internet Archive, gx2kj22w)
* Taikou Risshiden II (Redump, Wiggy2k)
* Youkoso Cinemahouse e (RinTohsaka project)

Important Note: Beware that there’s games that are **NSFW** inside this Torrent.

Many dumps are in its RAW/flux form, and other ones like Doukyuusei were dumped with Greaseweazle but RAW dump wasn’t given when was archiving all of this, year by year. This is the result of crushing patience to have even 10+ games that were exclusively released on Floppy Disk format for Japanese DOS/V & clone computers.

Many thanks to all supporters of Gaming Alexandria & its Discord server, and to all Redump(ers), RinTohsaka Visual Novel Preservation Project, VGHF, GPS @ Japan, RetroLEL @ Spain, LastCat, Krugman, Retro J-PC Redump Discord, VGPC + VGSC projects, No-Intro (you can add+DAT all that hasn’t been archived in this set, np) and all of you who want to play or archive all this games. — Rockleevk @ GA

Happy New Year 2024, and see you on the next niche Torrent release!

  1. Hello.
    I want to play power dolls2 dash for DOS/v version.In fact I have completed all of power dolls1,2,dash dos and pc98 version So I want to challenge to complete power dolls 2 dash for dos/v version.
    But How can I play it with DOSBOX?
    It seems that It is impossible to mount scp extension files with dosbox.
    Is there any website where guide How I can run dosv games with dosbox?

    1. DOSBox cannot directly run DOS/V .SCP script files, as they are specific to IBM mainframe DOS/VS environments and require a 3270 terminal session, which DOSBox does not emulate. Standard DOSBox emulates x86 PC DOS, not mainframe systems.​

      Alternatives in DOSBox
      Mount compatible disk images if the .SCP content involves PC DOS executables, using IMGMOUNT A image.img -t floppy then run programs via batch files renamed to .BAT. For SuperCard Pro .SCP floppy images (not DOS/V scripts), DOSBox-X or forks like dosbox-staging offer partial support via IMGMOUNT, but full DOS/V emulation needs Hercules mainframe emulator instead.​

      Better Option
      Use Hercules emulator with a DOS/V system image for authentic .SCP execution, combined with a TN3270 client like x3270. DOSBox excels at PC DOS games but falls short for mainframe scripts.

      Free Options
      x3270: Open-source emulator for X Window System, Windows, Linux, and macOS; download from x3270.bgp.nu or SourceForge.​

      wc3270 (portable): Windows version available via Chocolatey package manager.
