    I'm not the most tech saavy around here, but for me I use DOSBOX as a DOS emulator... and Microsoft made good ole Visual BASIC free a while ago. So, using DOSBOX (which is available for all flavors of OS) you don't have to emulate BASIC at all... if you really need I could go hunt all the links for ya... but a good DuckDuckGo (Or Google) search will easily have you installing both in short order.

    Q-Basic under DosBox is an option.

    Microsoft QuickBasic, not to be confused with the lesser QBasic, was a Basic interpreter and compiler product loosely based on GW-Basic. Version 2.0 for DOS and later included an Integrated Development Environment. Microsoft also produced QuickPascal and QuickC with similar integrated environments.


    You can also use VB.Net if you want.
    .Net Core 3, and .Net 5 both include VB.Net

    i saw your question about basic for windows 10. if you haven't found
    something already, there is a 64 bit emulator called qb64. it runs pretty
    good, works like the old basic ide, and is made for 64 bit systems.you can
    find it at qb64.net.
