Setting up a personalised DOSBox installWhile it was nice to have for multiplayer games, it also works well in general. This guide will teach you how to put together your own personised DOSBox setup.

Not only this makes connecting to a server more faster, it doesn't lead you to alt-tab just to look at the IP typing it down. 1. Download DOSBox in a ZIP file if possible. (I recommend DOSBox Staging) 2. Extract the .ZIP file. It can be anywhere you want. 3. Save the changes and close the file. 4a. Once extracted, you need to generate a config file to edit.

Inside the section type the following : To explain, mount is a command to mount folders to be used as a virtual drive. c is the drive letter. The first mounted drive should always be the C drive. DRIVEC refers to the folder you specified and C: tells DOS to go inside the mounted drive. There you could toss in your installed MS-DOS games inside that folder and run it.
