When you look in there the changes are obvious.
Jst kidding but i just viewed all of the files & this one seemed to be the natural one to mod. OK GUYS! Here is the answer you MUST do what Han said BUT you must also modify the fileĪccordingly within the directory that holds the program that is being executed. RE: DOSBOX Programming Help - John W Kercheval - 11-20-2014 07:45 PM Ok that works BUT all of my programs ask for a rectory in which data files are held and when I inpout that directry the data is not found.Īny ideas? I THINK there are a couple of DOSBOX codes that you putv into the input stream in the shortcut to correct this.

Each folder would have a full instance of DOSBox inside, with a dosbox-0.74.conf file and section causing it to run a different program. I would think you could have multiple folders (DOSBox1, DOSbox2, etc.), each the target of a different shortcut. The above would let you start one program in DOSBox.
"E:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe" The shortcut on my desktop looks like this: The above commands tell DOSBox to treat my E:\cadd6 directory as the C: drive, then changes directory to the C: drive, then executes the cadd program. # Lines in this section will be run at startup. At the bottom, there is an section, which has commands that run at startup. You can make DOSBox do things at startup using the dosbox-0.74.conf file.
#Resize dosbox window install#
I sure don't qualify as a DOSBox expert, but I was able to install it and get it to work with one old DOS program that I really wanted to keep using after I was converted to WIN 7, with a shortcut to my desktop that opens the program in DOSBox.

Can't hurt to try while you're waiting on someone to reply. Where the "…" is presumably the path to DOSBOX (should already be there from creating the shortcut). For example, if your DOSBOX program is C:\DOSPROGRAMS\MYPROG.EXE, then it should be as simple as changing the shortcut command to:
After creating the shortcuts to DOSBOX, right-click the shortcut icon and edit it so that it runs DOSBOX with command line options. If you know how to run the programs you want to run in DOSBOX then I think you simply need to create separate shortcuts to DOSBOX. I don't think you create the shortcuts in DOSBOX. I have one that runs that way and am looking for three others but I do not know how to use DOSBOX to create such files.
