Post Dosbox?
Anyone else here who ever used it? Just wondering...I think it's a wonderful little tool.

I've used it a couple of times and yes, it's a very good tool. The easiest use to drag the folder with the dos program to dosbox.exe, cuz then you don't have to mount anything.

Yeah well, I don't understand that bit either, so I always drag the desired folder to dosbox.exe, so dosbox starts in the directory I want to use.

i hate dosbox. admittedly i know sod all of how to use it, but whenever i've tried, the games run annoyingly slow on it. Arena was impossible to play. Settlers 2 was ok...

As I said, simply drag the folder you need mounted to dosbox.exe.
