I am currently trying to make a game with a major mechanic being getting onto computers and exploring the files with MS-DOS. My question is: Can I import MS-DOS or a similar program into UE4 without losing any functionality?
I am currently not concerned about the other aspects of the game until I know my efforts will not be wasted. If this question has been asked, please direct me to that question. If there is a legal problem with using DOS inside a game please tell me, as I do not want to end up in a lawsuit. Thank you in advance for helping and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Thank you. I appreciate it. I’ve never worked with C++, so that will be a challenge.
Maybe this operating-system-and-terminal-simulator- from marketplace will be enough. Looks like it supports in level placeable PCs and ability to run apps from it as well as command line.

Hi! Not a full answer but MS DOS is OpenSource with MIT license that means -you can do whatever you want basically. Embed and sell too. It’s available trough GitHub. It is 1.25 and 2.0 tho. You can use basic C++ features to call any external app. Or just embed it all inside your project, I don’t know how to make GUI inside UE4 - I will look into it a bit more if I find something I will comment here.
While I appreciate this, I can’t spend any money on this project, and I would prefer to have something that boots directly to DOS
