DBGL: DOSBox Game Launcher


I have written about DOSBox before, because it allows me to play all those old DOS games that I so enjoyed in my youth. But unless you enjoy typing all those commands in, it is best to get a front-end to DOSBox that will allow you to choose the game that you want to play. One of such front-ends is DBGL (short of DOSBOX Game Launcher). It is based upon D-Fend, which unfortunately, is no longer being worked on.

DBGL works on Java, and allows you to create multiple profiles and even use multiple versions of DOSBox, as well as multiple configurations. So you can have different configurations to emulate older PCs or the newer ones (with better graphics and memory). And it is open source too!
