I checked a lot of websites for cheats for games but a lot of games ask for command lines in order to put the cheats in. Can Dosbox do that and can you refer me to the guide on how to do that.

I always create BAT files for command line arguments. BAT files are plain text files with the BAT extension, which turns them into DOS executables.

For instance, PRINCE -MEGAHIT allows for cheats in the first "Prince of Persia" game. So all you have to do is create a text file with that instruction and save it as CHEAT.BAT in your Prince of Persia folder.

Then you load the game through this file insta of PRINCE.EXE.

I know both DOSBox and most frontends allow entering executables with arguments, but I found this solution more confortable.
