First off, DFend (DosBox Front-END) makes the whole thing easier to use because clicking is almost always easier than typing.

And yeah, it depends a lot on the game. My proudest old-gaming moment was getting Betrayal at Krondor working on Dosbox (with DFend) because it's really quite hard.

The games section of that page will tell you if others have gotten a game to work, and sometimes how they did it if it didn't work with the default.

Question for everyone else though...I'm looking at building a new machine, quite soon, and I've heard that AMDs have trouble with DosBox. Does anyone use both here?
