i got a problem, i love my dos games (play them at skool a lot) but i hate the fact that every time i put my flash drive (with the games) in another pc i gotta rewrite the mount files.

so my question: is it possible to "include" dosbox with the games so that when u run dosbox it automaticly runs a game without any typing?

Okay, first stay in "skool" (it's school) and yes, they have a portable version of dosbox that you just add the mount line to and it can read the games from the archive.

make .bat files or .lnks with -conf blahgame.conf and at the end of each conf you want just do your usual mounts and runs. Since it's a USB stick you should use relative paths (i.e. ..\games\sexman\) and maybe use physfs read-only so you don't write to your stick (i.e. mount C ..\games\sexman.zip)
