My DOSBox ver is 0.74.
And I got another one DOSBox with the menu bar(red circle) as the attachment.
How to show on the menu bar in 0.74 dosbox?

It’s not in the main version. Only certain forks have this menu bar.

The day Dosbox gets a menu bar is the day Dosbox stops being simple to build and gets bound with a huge and bloated "fast & light" multiplatform gui toolkit (which i hope is never)

A fork! SVN is just a versioning system 😀 (while SVN version often is used as differing between official release and newer code)

Ahem explain this
https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/SVN_Builds

SVN builds are versions of DOSBox that people have built from the latest version of the DOSBox source code, which is stored on sourceforge.net in something called an SVN repository. SVN builds contain changes that have been made by the DOSBox developers since the latest official release. Some enhanced SVN builds also contain unofficial features and fixes that have been created by enthusiasts in the DOSBox development community.

Also, when I said: "SVN, not main." I was implying it was a fork. I just hoped I didn't have to come right out and state it. 😀

This is about SVN builds of Dosbox. BUILDS is the important part. SVN itself is the wrong term. What you meant is, as written in the wiki, an enhanced SVN built, a built from SVN with third party enhancements.

Sure but when you use the wrong term I have to say something 😉
Because the SVN of Dosbox is the main, master or upstream. Everything else is a fork (or enhanced built as, IMO, a fork implies that its code is also versioned with some system).
