There are a few advantages to Dosbox:

- You can run the game windowed, good for tileset conversion and more convenient
- It may be slow, but you can typically make it faster.
- You won't need to use tppatch
- Because you won't need tppatch, the sound should still work

Besides that, the program is like any other emulator and isn't too reliable. I prefer running in regularly through XP, but it's still a nice program. It's definetly old news though.
