I can see your point Treewyrm. Just the crucial settings.
E.g. I wasn't able to run
Wings of Glory until I read that it needs
ems=false - go figure!
Forum isn't the best place for
storing information. I hate the search script at
VOGONS, finding info there is a chore!
dosbox.conf changes with each DOSBOX version. It contains settings that vary with personal preferences (e.g.: I don't use scalers). Some settings change from system to system, like best cycle setting. I use GUS emulation wherever it works, while it isn't packed with DOSBOX.
The best place to store such info appears to be... the
DOSBOX wiki itself:
http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/GAMES
The problem is it appears to be somehow deserted and its GAMES section isn't displayed prominently.
Moreover, it desperately needs some editing standards. No generic DOSBOX how-to, no mention of cracks(!), etc. I'd propose using infobox first - with crucial settings (use them
or the game won't run), followed with comments of personal experiences of how to make it run optimal (but "your mileage may vary").
