Hi all. I've been using DOSBox to run old games off and on for many years, but I haven't always kept hold of my dos folder with everything installed, and I've never got as far a setting up multiple dosbox.conf files for different games.
Anyways, I've noticed that some commerical releases of DOS games appear to bundle a portable version of DOSBox or something like it with the game, e.g. the original XCOM bought on Steam, and probably a bunch of the releases from GOG. It made me think it would be nice if there were a portable version of DOSBox available that would let me create my own installers for DOS games that haven't had an official rerelease, so I could wrap up disc images and fully installed folders into an installer and not worry about remembering what core emulation or CPU speed to use next time I wanted to play it. I wouldn't be planning to distribute anything.
Is something like this available? Do folks use something else instead? (I've not played with any of the DOSBox frontends yet, for instance.)
