no they are not. just use windows xp and you can play the old dos games.
NVDA works best in a dos box under xp iin the xp commmand command prompt
window.

Sadly, DosBox itself is almost completely unusable. If you have a hardware
speech synthesizer and lots of time to fiddle with it you might be able to get
an old Dos screen reader to work, but I’d bet against that being easy. Windows
screen readers simply won’t read he DOSBox windows.
Sadly, I think most DOS games, some of which were very good, are lost to the
march of progress now.

Hi gang,
I am trying to get DOSBox to work on my win7 machine. I started it, but
what I got when it ran was two separate windows, one was called DOSBox and
the other a DOSBox status screen. I couldn't seem to type into either of
those.
I am using jaws 14. The guy who set up the computer has a virtual xp
something or other on it, and I wonder from what I have been reading is
that maybe it needs to be stuck in that virtual thing somehow?
Will that resolve my problem trying to type the commands into the DOSBox
window? Actually, which window do I actually type in, anyway?
Really, any help at all will be greatly appreciated. I wanted to try these
wrestling games.
Oh, and one more thing. Howt he heck do I shut down these DOSBox windows?
The normal alt+F4 doesn't work, and the ctrl+alt+delete seems to bring me to
something other then the task manager. I am new to win7 so be gentle please.
Thaks,
al
