Hopefully you see this here..

I believe the DOSBox team received permission to distribute the freeware
version of IDA Pro 5.0.. which Hex-Rays have otherwise burried. But as DM
mentioned Turbo Debugger is very nice. One thing to watch out for is that TD
will eventually crash VirtualBox if you need to use it there. (TD likes
having a real CPU and will use unemulated features) So it might be wise to
ensure that whatever DOS version you're using doesn't do any disk caching :)

There are also debugger versions of DOSBox, but I wasn't very fond of the
interface.. and it's capable of debugging the emulator AND the client
software which adds a layer of complexity.

Just curious.. what's the project?
