So here's my problem. I have several DOS games I want to run (Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire) and ideally, I want to be able to avoid finding the directory to start these games every time I want to run them.
ie:MOUNT C GAMES
C:
CD ARENA
ARENA
or:MOUNT C GAMES
C:
CD DAGGER
FALL.EXE Z.CFG
But unfortunately, it seems to only allows one program to run at startup when I use type under "# Lines in this section will be run at startup." in configuration. I've tried installing multiple version of DOSBox (all with slightly different names), but, no matter what I do, there is only one version of DOSBox (the original) with one configuration file option. If I try and install multiple DOSBoxes, only one will show up on the All Programs list, hence I can only configure one, stopping me from simply having one DOSBox for each game I want to run (copying and pasting to All Programs or adding another DOSBox to All Programs STILL doesn't enable the configuration edit option). In addition, I can't find any older versions of DOSBox with the .conf file in the DOSBox directory and not under All Programs.
So, I have a few questions. First off, is there a way to configure multiple games to run at startup (that I can choose from)? If this doesn't exist (which I don't think it does) is there a way to have several DOSBoxes installed that lets me configure each one (currently, only the first installed DOSBox shows up under All Programs and even when I add the others I can't configure them)?
And lastly, if neither of those are possible, does anyone have a link to older versions of DOSBox that contain the dosbox.conf file under the DOSbox directory (C:\DOSBox) and NOT only under All Programs?
Thank you for reading this, any help would be appreciated.
