Simple frontend for the DOSBox emulator. It's based on variable substitutions, and it was written in C#.

I've widely tested it. However, please let me know if you experience problems.

Description

DOSBox Simple Launcher is a frontend for the popular DOSBox emulator. It allows the users to define different profiles and to switch between them.

The frontend is based on variable substitutions. The starting point is the original DOSBox configuration file. Before starting DOSBox, DBSL applies variable substitutions to the conf file according to the selected profile.

In DBSL, the user can define profiles into two lists. The profiles in the "Base profiles" list can't inherit from other ones. Instead, the profiles in the "Games" list can optionally inherit from the base ones.

If a variable substitution is defined for both inherited base and game profiles, the game profile takes precedence.

You can also add the "autoexec" row to the substitution rules. All this text will be appended at the end of the conf file.

I hope the software will be useful and easy to use. Enjoy!
