What so you guys just use shortcuts instead of a a frontend? Should try out DOSBox Game Launcher... it makes it easier to run games but at the same time still contains loads of commands and options for higher flexibility.

I can't get DBGL to import my config files properly - it always ignores the [autoexec] - so I just don't bother with it.

Z:\ mount c /home/admin/DOS/C
Z:\ C:
C:\ cd <insert game directory here)
C:\<game directory>

That's how I do it.

Virtual C is mounted in [autoexec].

Virtual C is auto-mounted.
Then I just use Norton Commander to move around the games directory (I'm not making individual shortcuts for each and every game).

I have a C:\DOS folder where all of my DOS games go. Then I just use the DOSBox command line. I have thought about using XTree Gold, which I have on my DOS laptop, but never really got around to it.

i think that people playing old games are able to use dos commands anyway, but the idea is good (thumbs up)
