This page explains how to create shortcuts to DOS games or programs so that they can be run with a double click, as any other program, while still using DosBox to emulate the DOS environment.
Windows
- This explains how to setup DosBox game or application shortcuts for Windows.
- Please note: if the game / application is located in a directory, or sub-directory of a folder which is automatically mounted, then the following technique will not work! Either remove any mount commands from the autoexec section of the default .conf file, or use a custom .conf file when using the shortcuts which does not have any mounts. See the end of the short description for how to achieve this. If you don't understand this line, then it shouldn't affect you. If you havn't edited your .conf file, then this shouldn't be an issue.
Short Version
This is the quick version for people familiar with windows, giving the basic information.
- Create a new shortcut to the DosBox .exe file, or copy the one created when you installed doxbox.
- Edit the properties of the shortcut.
- At the end of the "Target" line, add, in quotes, the full path of the main game executable you wish to launch.
- For Example, if "The Settlers 2" was installed into the folder C:\Games\Settlers 2\, and DosBox is installed at it's default location, the target box would contain:
- "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.72\dosbox.exe" -conf "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.72\dosbox.conf" "C:\Games\Settlers 2\S2.exe"
- NB: the -conf command line option which is specified in the line above is, I believe, optional since it refers to the default config file. If you use a custom config file however, then you will need to retain this line, suitably ammended to refer to your custom .conf file.
