Hi, I have a p4 2.8 with a ATI Radeon 128 graphics card. I 'm trying to play a couple of old games but I'm not sure which how to get/use Dosbox. I read that since I use XP I should get the version that says Win32 installer. Is that correct? Also I'm not sure where to find the Dosvox version 0.58 Win32 installer. I don't know what TGZ, source+binary and ports mean. Also, what is a frontend and do I need it? PLease help.
Thanks

Yeah, you should get the dosbox win32 installer.
0.61 is the last version. Get it at the dosbox homepage
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net
Now, this is a nice guide to dosbox. Read it. The Newbie's Pictorial Guide To DOSBox
Frontends are programs made to make dosbox easier to use/configure.
You don't need them but they can make your life easier.
There're some links to frontends on the dosbox homepage.
