I do think Qbix,Mirekluza (and others)are right.The thread is about future and development,so the what for and not the how to or why. Computers are a strange tool (not really speaking of the machine itself,but the way it is used) but are not the only one:automobiles is the other. Thus,common people …

Impressing lesson of yours,Mirekluza.Please,be patient to the doubts of a ignorant. When you said d:d:\dosbox - this dosbox is the program dosbox,a x86 emulator... ,or just a directory you created to have the images?

My wish:DOSBox from masters to non-experts (explanation sheet). Just run DB and the game you want.DB will look at your machine/system and at your program/game.DB will make full compatibility if your machine has enough power;if not,DB will reduce some aspects according to the nature of your game;if …
