Overview
The DOSBox configuration file defines the emulated environment that DOSBox will use to launch the game.
Questions about the conf file should be research on the official wiki page for the dosbox.conf file.
Unfortunately, several functions of the conf file are not very well documented, especially in regards to some of the experimental DOSBox versions, so a brief guide to the conf file is provided here.
Machine Specification
Autoexec Section
The autoexec portion of the conf file is found at the bottom. These are the commands DOSBox will run upon launching with this conf file loaded. The primary functions here are
- mounting the game's C:
- mounting the games media if needed (CD image, floppy image, etc)
- changing to the necessary folder to execute the game
- calling the games executable or the run.bat file
