..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?
these are just windows shortcuts (to dosbox), modified to include the right ".conf" to load, the noconsole option...
better to make batchfiles ?

mmm, sorry to be a noob, batchfiles are much better it seems, will browse the forum to learn how to make a proper one

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)
Check the readme, particularly the "-conf" switch.
My site: Ramblings on mostly tech stuff.
...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
