listen to me gamers and workers at gog, theres a generation of gamers out there who don't know how to use dosbox (probably out of lazyness or not being computer savvy) but if you could do this one thing that a great Czech supplier of classic games called DJoldgames has done have the dosbox ready without having to set up a virtualdrive or any of that other second drive nonsense, just let the gamers hit the icon and have the dosbox window playing the game and the secondary window pop up showing the running speed and other things.

sorry about this DERP

For some reason I thought DJoldgames was Czech...

Its really not that complex when you get down to it. When I want to run a dos game in DOSbox, I click the application, and drag it onto a shortcut I made. It does the rest automagically.

GOG's installers are already set up and ready to go so I'm not entirely sure what you're wanting. If you mean that you want to see the DOSBox console when using GOG's DOSBox games simply remove -noconsole from the game's shortcut target box. The console window will then be visible when the game is running in windowed mode. That method won't work well for games that need specific DOSBox settings to run properly.

You can use D-Fend Reloaded to set up game-specific profiles without having to edit configuration files manually.

I was going to mention, a GUI for DOSbox would be nice. :V

So... You want GOG to... continue doing exactly what they've been doing since they started? I'm confused.

Taewoong's DOSBox SVN Daum is a DOSBox branch that adds a menu bar in the main DOSBox window but some settings are still only found in the configuration file.

They want it to be approachable to the dead end user. A menu is closer, but a shell would be even nicer.

Daum is also the only dosbox build (afaik) that has "native" MT-32 support for music.

That did not help my understanding. More approachable how? How do you make it more approachable than "Double-click game icon, game starts"?

"Single-click game icon, game starts"? Isn't that more approachable? :P

Would be possible if you set your desktop to that single-click hyperlink for files mode thingy

Not to me, as that means I can't select an icon without automatically executing whatever the shortcut is pointing to. Besides, that's a setting in the OS, not something a game installer can or should mess with.

Damn me trying to make a late 90s movie reference.

"Think of game, game starts"? or even just "Game starts"?
