Hello, I would like to suggest you to integrate an old dos application market in dosBox. Maybe with the help of one or more abandonware websites. User may have to define some standards inputs like left / right / up / down / action1 / action2, and so could dosbox download a per game configuration file and adapt it to users preferences. User would also be able to select a game by simply clicking on an icon or run in "classic mode" when clicking on a "c:\" icon.

Thank you, bye.

If Abandonware isn't legal, so why not have a partenership with a legal equivalent.

You know, GOG is pretty much that thing already, except its not "integrated" into dosbox, and many digital download of old dosgames you buy on paysite use an integrated dosbox. Personally i like my Dosbox solid, simple and standalone, just as it is already without any crapware in it.

And if you want to "be able to select a game by simply clicking on an icon", just use one of the front-ends.
