Friendly interface?
Just wondering will there be a friendly interface for dosbox?
I don't know of any that are open source though.
Does not really matter, but it does speed things up.

Frontend to DosBox
Thank you for the portable version of DosBox. It works great, now all we need is a portable front end for it Dfend maybe
Agreed! :D
Entering DosBox and configuring it will put it apart from the PortableApps essence
But it's been a great step Thanks dudes!
DFend is probably the best candidate...
Although I think it CAN run portable (although not integrated to the suite)
Win 2.0 on portable apps, anyone? lol
I've installed Windows 3.11
I've installed Windows 3.11 in DosBox
All you need to do is mount A: with a win311 installer files folder and mount a empty folder as C: where all installed files will go
To start Windows type Autoexec.bat and Win.com
It's all!
