We've taken care of the tweaks necessary for a great DOSBox experience - all you need to do is flash an SD card, plug in a monitor and clicky keyboard and get down to business.
Built using the latest SVN revision of DOSBox with various performance and compatibility improvements.
We've taken care of configuration so you can get right down to gaming.
