DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD. However, it is not restricted to running only games. In theory, any MS-DOS or PC-DOS (referred to commonly as "DOS") application should run in DOSBox, but the emphasis has been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication, networking and printer support are still in early development.

bsnes News - The Future of bsnes (2010-10-19)

Talking about the future requires elaborating on the past.

Up to the present
I initially started bsnes out of frustration with all other SNES emulators showing virtually no interest in emulation accuracy. This affected me directly as a ROM hacker, when I would discover that my ROM hacks would not run on real hardware. I also felt it would be a good opportunity to create a really powerful debugger, something that was sorely lacking.
