Hello here, my first post!
If it is my first post, i have to be angry here at first, since as usual my cursed Hungarian free mailbox ate my activation mail, so i had to use an another one, and an underline in my username 🙁 Is it possible to fix it up? This is annoying as this is the third time when this happens 😵
Back to the subject: as i talked on other forums it got in my mind that especially for ones still like to program retro it would be good to have a DOSBox shortcut file what the end - user can use just like any other shortcut. So the programmer can set up DOSBox through it appropriately to play his game. Of course this is a good thing for real old games too as these shortcuts could be made for them, so it would requie nothing from usual users who just want to play, so using DOSBox would become so simple like double - clicking on any recent app.
(For example take Stunts, make a startup shortcut for it. Then start it's Setup and configure the sound appropriately for the shortcut. When this all done, the game works, pack it, and post on an abandonware site: who download it will only need to double - click on the shortcut, and if (s)he has DOSBox installed, the game will work nicely. Absolutely no Setup needed! 😀 )
After 60 million years a civilization will search for a meteorite destroying most of the living creatures around this age...
There must be a better future for the Cheetahs!
