Hi, I am new to this sort of thing, so I'll do my best!

First off, I would like to say that DOSBox rocks!!! Remember the game Dark Ages, anyone? Well, ever since I made any attempts at playing it on even my old 386, I would either get a Devide by zero error message or a currupted screen or worse. But now with DOSBox installed, I'm very pleased to say that I am now able to run this game as well as many of my other all-time favorites in their full glory. Again, DOSBox rocks!!!

I was just wondering though, I was thinking if it would be possible to implement a feature that would enable a user to disable certain hardware emulation while leaving the rest enabled, and all of this not only from .CONF files, but from the command line as well. I believe that in doing so, games such as Terminal Velocity may run at a much faster rate as certain hardware that's not needed won't get emulated at all.

I would also like to see the emulation of the CONFIG.SYS file as well. More spacifically, the FILES=, BUFFERS=, and the FCBS= commands. In doing so, I beleive that further support for DOS-based programs and games such as Star Trek TNG - A Final Unity would be grater (especially for those running DOSBox on WinXP-based systems).

It would seem that certain games (such as the one mentioned above) requires FILES= to be at least 40 in the CONFIG.SYS file (even in DOSBox), and because Microsoft removed support for that file (as well as most of DOS) in WinXP, I am currently unable to install them. But if the CONFIG.SYS file is emulated, all of these "Not enouph file handles" errors may or may not even exist. 😁 😁 😁
