..means it would mount a folder inside dosbox folder, so that it would be portable (no need to change paths if you want to take dosbox to another computer)
Or is that already possible ?

thanks

What is "$AppPath"? Some kind of variable?

You can do a ".\directory" inside of your dosbox.conf.

ah sorry, $apppath is the synthax ive seen in quite a few emulators
Thanks, your .\ does the trick
😀

btw, do you know if theres such a thing in Windows, so that i can keep my shortcuts (to different dosbox configs ) working, if i move the dosbox folder to another computer ?

Where are these shortcuts located (on your desktop?).

Are these shortcuts just batch files?

You can also try a frontend:

DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)

This one is the latest to come out and it's programmed in Java so it's likely to be the most cross-platform. Also the author seems to be happy to develop it and include new features.

thanks, but i do not wish to use a frontend, esp not a java one (no java installed on my machine anyway), i like to use simple command line things

I did batchfiles and it works as expected, now i would just like to know if its possible to have all of the ".conf" files in a separate folder ?
(the batch would tell dosbox to look for the proper .conf file, i dont know how to do that)

...i didnt find any useful info in the readme
However, I modified my batch file like this :

cd dosbox
start dosbox.exe -noconsole -conf .\configs\dosbox.conf

(all of my config files beeing in a "configs" folder)
and it works perfect
I guess it was obvious, but not so for a (almost) dos noob...
thanks for the help
