this is what i felt cputype=386 means follow the 386 protocal but run it with your computer's current CPU speed like core 9 speed? 386 doesnt mean make your dosbox run like as if your computer was 386 computer, is this correct? then it would be best to select 386 or 486 and not pentium, because by …

thats dosbox-x you posted and not dosbox. i needed mode.com that works in the dosbox for games. i just learned that dosbox is a ver 5.0, but this probably wouldnt make a difference, because i would havent found dos ver 5.0 somewhere. i just web-searched "freedos mode.com download" it either turned …

dosbox.exe -conf dosbox.conf -conf custom_config.conf yes that will do, i got confused with -userconf at 1st, now i can simply use double -confs for it. but i still wish them to make reduce the number of conf files.

sorry i didnt understand what you wrote, it seemed like -conf c:\my_own_modded_file1.conf already had the -userconf meaning bulit into it. because i already told the dosbox where to look for and read the file1.conf, this was all i understood.

maybe someday, i hope they make dosbox that the external commands in batches overwrite the internal options, just like ffmpeg.exe, and the most moddable games. this will greatly reduce the number of config files make and made , and 50% less chasing files

i was very mistaken, i think i was too confused about where to mount. it turned out DOSBOX could not mount a program elsewhere other than C: even if it was forced to make a 2ndary mount elsewhere with the SAME content.
