DOSBox Question

[aimeeandbeatles]

I already know about frontends, but is there a program that makes it so when Windows detects a DOS program launching, it loads it in DOSBox?

The reason is, I want to put my games in the start menu, cos I keep forgetting which games are in my frontend and getting confused.

Thanks for any help.

p.s. I also know how to edit INI files, if that'll work.

try writing a batch file that launches it via DosBox, and use that to start the game.

okay...how do I create one?

Thank you.

1. Get dfend reloaded
2. Set up profiles for your games. (Press F3 to get cheat sheets for this)
3. Right click on profiles and select "generate shortcut"

Alternatively:
1 Create a short box to the dosbox executable
2. Open its properties dialog
2. Add the path to your game executable (and whatever other parameters you need for that game) to the target. E.g. "path\to\dosbox\dosbox.exe -path\to\game\game.exe"
