Updated the dosbox package - view first post...
Integrating dosbox to work from jwm menu example:
I found it easiest to make a unique dosbox conf-file for each program.
The dosbox-conf is in /root/.dosbox - the normal config file is called dosbox-0.74.conf - but you can have as many different as you want in there.
I have all my dos programs in folder /root/.dosbox/cdrive - but you can have it anywhere and also symlink other directories or files in there.
As example I will make "Lotus 3" run via a menu entry under Fun. Download the game here: http://www.bestoldgames.net/download/bg ... llenge.zip
Unpack it to your dos-file location (I put the files in directory /root/.dosbox/cdrive/Lotus3).
Copy the default dosbox conf file to lotus_dosbox.conf and add the following at the very end:Create a desktop-file in /usr/share/applications - I named it lotus3.desktop - and put the following content in there:
Then run fixmenus and restart jwm. The Lotus 3 menu should be under Fun and if clicked dosbox starts the game.
I have attached an archive with the files for convenience but they only work as is if you have your dosfiles same place as I.
