How to create a quick launch shortcut?
1. Go to Start>Programs>DOSBox>Configuration>Edit Configuration OR go to where you
installed DOSBox, find and double-click "DOSBox 0.74 Options". Copy everything within it.
Create a new Text Document called"dosbox", paste what you have copied earlier. And at the
bottom under "[autoexec]" add mount "d h:\ -t cdrom". Save it, and change it's extension from
"dosbox.txt" to "dosbox.conf". Now copy the file you just created in you're game directory.
If the game runs too fast or too slow increase/decrease the "cycles=" value within the dosbox.conf
file. Recommended cycles is 20000.
2. Create another DOSBox shortcut on you're desktop. Right-click>Properties and change "Target:"
to:
"C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.74\dosbox.exe" "C:\OLDGAMES\CRUSADER\CRUSADER.EXE" -conf "C:\OLDGAMES\CRUSADER\dosbox.conf" -exit -fullscreen
