DOSBox Portable, a version of DOSBox that you can install on USB, was released a few days ago:

Hm... I've been running DOSBox on my USB drive for a while now. :)
Here's a posting about it on the DOSBox forums (at VOGONS): http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=16540 |

Works fine on my extremely cheap 2Gigs USB stick (Doesn't even have a brand name).
And I can really not think of any reason why it should be otherwise. I mean, do you suppose the app will check what brand your sticky is???? And you always can simply copy the dosbox folder to your stick. Works fine.

I'm running it on my USB hard drive (no fancy U3/3U/3D/3M/whatever involved). Works like a champ so far. You can even edit the config file so DOSBos automatically mounts your DOS games directory on the portable drive when it starts...no matter what drive letter it's been assigned.
These Portable versions are very good. I've been using Portable Firefox and Thunderbird for some time on my USB hard drive. |

Of course you realize this topic is half a year old?
