Since DOSBox emulates pretty much a whole PC on it's own, would it eventually be possible to turn it into an actual PC?
An example, when you turn on your PC, it starts the P.O.S.T. routine and you can have access to the B.I.O.S. and configure all the machine settings...
What if DOSBox had (sort of) a B.I.O.S. of it's own (that gave access to all the config settings present in dosbox.conf)? So whenever you start DOSBox, if you press a certain key, it gives you access to the "bios" options. If you just run it and don't press any key, it "boots" the C.L.I. environment as usual.
Maybe adding a very small delay (that allows pressing an F# key to access bios settings, complete with B.I.O.S. like GUI)...?
I know it probably sounds far too crazy, but I would just like to hear what the developers think about it.
Thanks for you attention!
