I apologise if this is noob question. But there are two things I'm trying to figure out. I want to be able to launch individual games with their own configs and also want to launch games I bought on GOG using their own configs but with different versions of Dosbox such as an SVN.
Can anyone tell me hoe to do this in both Windows and Linux; mostly Linux.
http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Dosbox.conf Have a look right at the bottom.
Basically, from the command line or a shortcut, run,
dosbox -conf mycustom.conf
If you want to automatically mount drives and start the game, then you would edit the autoexec section of your custom config file.
Yes I did look at that, but it doesn't work when I try it with Linux. Is the principal the same?
Yes, same on linux.
What doesn't work? Also you should see something in terminal to give a clue if the config is not found.

I'll try it again, what if the config file is in another location and what about using GOG configs, Does the autoexe need to be edited or anything.
Well, the gog config files probably have windows paths.

I mean would linking to the GOG configs work or would I need to edit the game location and everything if I'm using an SVN?
It depends whether the gog configs use windows paths. Nothing to do with svn.

Yup Windows or Linux you're going to have to edit the autoexe and add the games full path for it to work.
