Srry if this is the wrong spot for this i wasnt sure where to put this post

First of all let me intreoduce my self im kadardalton but everyone calls me dk. Im new to making portable apps so i thought i try to start with something already made and work from there. I'm not a developer, programmer, or tech person.I joined PortableApps.com to learn. I do know a little html, but i dont know the first thing to do at all. I thought it be easyier if i started with something already made and add onto it. But what im making is just for me. After im a little better at everything i would like to make stuf for everyone.

This is what im starting with: DosboxPortable + A Old Dos Game

I need to make a .exe file between 2 other .exe file for this portable app im making for me. useing portable dosbox (DOSBoxPortable.exe) and a old dos game (war.exe). how coul i do this or how could i set up the config file for dosbox portable to work with it if i made the app directory look like this:
============================================================================

+/dosboxportable/

+/App/

+/Data/

+/Settings/

+/Other/

+/Source/

============================================================================

Hi

  1. Run DosBoxPortable once
  2. Edit "DosBoxPortable\Data\settings\dosbox.conf": At the end there is a section called [autoexec], so just add the following code below
    mount c: \PortableApps\DosBoxPortable\App\[gametilehere] 
    c:
    [game.exe or game.bat or game.com here]
    
  3. Run DosBoxPortable and enjoy
