Program for download
 
It can be hard for many people who didn't work with DOS to use DOSBox. Why then not to use graphical interface for DOSBOX? I suggest to add link for D-Fend Reloaded (http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/) in services/programs. You can find link on DOSBox website, but I think it should be also mentioned here because D-Fend is must-have for any DOS games fan.

PS: Installation of D-Fend contains DOSBox!

Indeed, why not :)
Actually we are planning to re-do the program page from the beginning, it is really ugly :oh:

i don't like front ends=P it's one of those things that dumb people down. just like calculators (for simple calculus)

you hate it when you see someone taking a calculator when he has to count 363*0.5 or some other crap

I personally like using DOSBox Game Launcher. Basically the main reason I like using it is just for cataloguing the games for easy reference. I still occasionally have to use my DOSBox know-how to solve game related problems.

Fact is it can help some absolute beginners.
Even if it can create extra problems sometimes.

I'm just using BAT and CMD files to control my DOS games on plain DOSBox and it's completly not hard to lern the DOS script. Just like making a BAT file in the folder with DOS games with specifications of a certain game and launching it from DB, or if I want or have to I make a CMD file to launch the game with specifications for DB.

I'm actually doing it with tailored shortcuts and config files. With some practice, it takes less than 5 minutes to get a clickable shortcut that runs a specific game in DOSBox and closes the emulator on exit.

I takes you more than a minute? :tongue:

The Fifth Horseman 10-04-2009 10:54 AM

Well, I make custom icon for each shortcut... so yes. :p
