First, I appologise if this is somewhere in the FAQ or in a big sticky thread or something. I had a look through them and couldnt find anything, but maybe Im just being a bit dense.
Anyway, as a big old school adventure games fan, I used DOSbox a bit in the past to get some of them to run but since SCUMMVM supports a lot of them now and Ive been rather busy with my stupid degree(!), I havent used it in a while. I just decided to try to get Gabriel Knight I running (always was a pain!) and the newest DOS box seems to be doing great!
So my little - and rather lazy - question is, is it possible to set up a shortcut, say on the windows desktop, that will run the game with DOS box in one click, and with its own config file? At the moment, I have to run DOSBox then cd into the right directory and type GKCD to run it. Also, I had to set up the config file so that the resolution and cycles are optimised for the game but if I want to use DOSbox for another game, i'll have to change the file each time to suit the specific game (or copy/paste versions of the file as I am doing). Can I do this more easily with DB, say by setting up a windows shortcut with certain command line details? I think SCUMMVM lets you do this and VDMsound lets you integrate with windows so you get a "run with VDMS" option when you right click a file.
Sorry if this is just me being lazy, but it would make playign with DB much more hassle free!
