DOSBox Game Runner

A simple Python script to run DOS games in DOSBox.

Description

This script is designed to make it easy to run DOS games in DOSBox on modern operating systems. It provides a GUI interface for configuring the DOSBox environment and launching the game.

The script reads configuration settings from a dbgr.conf file, which can be edited when the script config_editor.py is called by dbgr.py at launch.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • DOSBox

Installation

  1. Install DOSBox.
  2. Clone the repository or download the source code.
  3. Run pip install PyQt5 configparser to install dependencies (PyQt5 and configparser).
  4. Run the app with python dbgr.py once. It will error out, and create dbgr.conf
  5. Edit dbgr.conf to configure DOSBox settings for your system.

Usage

  1. Launch dbgr.py.
  2. The script will call config_editor.py script to edit the configuration settings as needed.
  3. Click the "Save" button to start the configured game in DOSBox.
