Hi I am very new to Dos Box, I did use Dfend once and found that I could get quite a few dos games running good, others I had trouble with but most I could get working.

I never did this via the configuration file only Dfend, I would like to just use DosBox.

So now you know I am not very experienced at Dos Box but can use it.

I was wondering how would I go about setting up a game to run good on my computer but then being able to run good on my friends computer as well.

Can I do this without them or me having to reconfigure the settings?.

Also what is the difference between Dos Box and Dos Box Portable.

Thanks for all your help.

PS: is there a site that shows good settings to use for certain dos games?
