Yes, but please don't use spaces in directory names if you intend to use them for DOSBox and DOS games/applications. If you are running the DOS version of DOOM under DOSBox, you need to provide the path in the DOSBox mounted filesystem. So what command would I use then? I can load WADS if they are …

Hello, Is there a way to load Doom WADS located in a different directory from the game files? For example, if I put all my WADS into a file called "Doom WADS" inside the game directory located at "C:\Program Files\DOSBox\Games\Doom" Can they still be loaded? Is there a way to do this with a batch …

DOSBox can launch and exit just fine. A frontend is a different matter. Clearly but when you have 30 different games plus addons/expansions having a frontend already preconfigured and laid out with a simple doube click to launch each in a matter of seconds without having to edit game configurations …

Perhaps no one here is familiar with AmpShell. Have you tried contacting its developer? Yes, that was my first course of action. No reply for over a week when the initial post was made and unfortunately still nothing. One doesn't need to be familiar with AmpShell to know how to use command line …

well if you drag the whole folder "terminator" into d-fend, most of the time its got a pre-configured profile, like if you drag and drop quake or doom... I figured out the problem. Since the additional commands section only has a single line to enter text you have to seperate each command with "&&" …

I've been using DOSBox for a few years now and it works great but am growing tired of either entering command lines or adding them to the end of the config file so I figured the D-Fend Reloaded front end would be a good option to have all my games pre configured and accessable with only a couple of …

The quotation marks did the trick. DOSBox doesn't like executables with spaces though... I even tried 6 characters and a ~1 suffix without any luck. Thanks for the lesson.

You can use an older Cherry branded keyboard with extra keys that is programmable. Then you can set up the keys to do whatever you want. Edit: I have a couple of the G80-8113 keyboards (available in black or white and USB or PS/2 - pretty sure brown switches are standard - that is what mine have) …

Sounds like the so-called "door crash". Check around this post for find some more info, and a fix of course. However I suggest going all-in and installing SkyNET Unofficial Patch 2017 .

Try to replace DOS4GW with DOS32A, that usually helps, only games that do not like that are Tomb Raider(total crash) and Zed(random lockups). Doom and Warcraft 2 totally benefit from that, they even load faster. Especially Doom. Because i do not like any source port Dooms (MBF) , only the original. …

The "MIDI device" is for music, and you currently don't have one selected, so you need to run SETUP.EXE and choose. Typical choices for DOSBox are: "Sound Blaster 16" (port 388) or "MPU-401" (port 330). Also, you should select IRQ 7 for SB digital sound in the setup program unless you've changed …
