All they have to do is require the publishers to submit all development material and gold masters to whoever is going to preserve the data. It's already been shown that most publishers and developers don't give a crap (Which is why I have backups upon backups along with cracks for my games).

The "options that are available in DOSBox" are all in DOSBox.conf and the explanations are in the WIKI. If no problem is in the DOSBox README, FAQ or WIKI then it's most likely not a "common problem". (The WIKI is not perfect but it's a WIKI so information can be added easily) The FAQ is Frequently …

List system specs (processors and sound card in this case) List the games you tried. Post what sound devices you configured in the game setup. Post your dosbox.conf

VDMSound has nothing to do with video. If your playing a BUILD engine game and you are using NTVDM then you should be using NOLFB. If you are play Duke3D or Shadow Warrior you should be using the ports.

The official DOSBox doesn't support this but there is a patch to do so (you've have to add it and compile DOSBox though). I think frontends like DFend Reloaded and DOG handle this if your copy of DOSBox doesn't support it but I haven't tried it with them.

The same way you would if you were installing it in MS-DOS I suppose. Load up DOSBox without DFend Reloaded and do so.
