well mister frontent enthusiast. i dunno dude, there's a simple "intro" which explains pretty much everything and every retardal with iq over 90 should get it, the simple commands are also included in readme. it's not like you had to download drivers separately for each soud card, mouse etc, it's all already included in dosbox. it's just about navigation and enviroment that is different in front ends. it is really worth "learning" simpliest dos commands. i don't see how are they much difficultier than front end clickings

by the way yes, the game threads should be about games and questions belong to troubleshooting

Oh I see - you can be a DOSBox fanatic and that's okay. I am one of just a couple voices for front ends and I am a front end enthusiast. It's got nothing to do with that. It's about the fact we DO have game threads full of DOSBox questions - go and have a look!

All I say is give front ends an equal look in, like they do on the DOSBox website!

It's obvious from the messages in the Game Threads, some people just look at those DOSBox commands and they glaze over! That's why they go back tot the game thread and ask question after question there instead!

Don't worry R.U.S.S. I know I have lost. front ends are never going to be given a fair hearing on this site. Hardcore gamer don't get it. Not everyone is like you or me R.U.S.S. not everyone can learn DOS Commands and the intricateness of the DOSBOx command system. We would have 1,000's of extra DOS gamers if people knew about front ends and how they can help certain gamers.

But as I say, they'll never find out because people like you are not so much pro DOSBox, but anti front end. And for the life of me, I don't know why!

you have lost? what have you lost? o_O it's not bad if somebody tries front end. you can go on and recommend front ends, nobody's gonna fight against that. but i think it takes as much effort as understanding and setting up a front end. i just recommend dosbox, which is the emulator itself and in my opinion not really difficult to understand for anybody who understands a front end
