Thumbs up

Kosta and Tom are getting a lot help requests for DOSBox.

To help them I thought that we should start at the source of the problems.

DOSBox. What is wrong with it ? What it makes it so hard for (some) people to use it.

Some points.
  • 1. DOSBox It's README:
    • 1a Is it too difficult ?
    • 1b Should it be advertised more actively by DOSBox ?
    • 1c Does DOSBox need more/different documentation ?
  • 2. DOSBox has an startup message (that blue "window" with text in it).
    • 2a. What can be improved about that ?
  • 3. Should DOSBox be more intelligent ?
    • 3a. automaticly mount your C drive if you type c: ?
    • 3b. if it detects that a drive is a cdrom -> automaticly mount it as "-t cdrom" ?
  • 4. Your Points
  • 5. Your Ideas
Please give constructive ideas.
not things like: Their readme sucks!
more like: the readme is hard to read because .... and they should change it too...........



If we can make some good recommendations Tom will mail them to the DOSBox.crew
(He has some contacts with them because of the reloaded website)
