Hello, all. I wanted to change my DOSBOX into French (including the keyboard layout) but I'm having some trouble editing the Preferences file located in my ~/Library/Preferences/DOSBox 0.73 Preferences. I'll edit the file but it seems like my DOSBOX doesn't associate itself with that file. For example, I'll add a mount command at the end automatically mounting the directory with all my games, but when I run DOSBOX, it just runs fresh, like I just downloaded it. I also set the keyboard preferences into French in the preferences file, but that does no good.

Any input?

Thanks!

start dosbox from a terminal and it will tell you which configfile it is using.

where ever you specify it in the configuration file that is used. Using relative addressing to directory where the configfile is, or using absolute addressing
