Configuring Dosbox from a hidden folder
Hi. Just the other day, I decided to set up Dosbox so I could play one my favorite games. When I looked into it, though, it turned out the configuration file was in a hidden folder. How do I configure the program? Is there a way of writing changes to it from the command line?
Thanks in advance for your help. |
dot files are like Microsoft system files in "c:\\windows\system32" ( big nasty unfriendly WARNING )
they are hidden so you do not delete them the desktop gui you are using will have a setting ( a check box) to make them visible or use the keyboard shortcut kde <alt> + <.> gnome <control> + <h> |
I assume you are referring to the default which is /home/username/.dosbox/dosbox-0.74.conf. You should be able to edit the file using any text editor as desired.
cd /home/username/.dosbox (replace username with your real username) vi dosbox-0.74.conf |
Thanks, guys. John- my system is the Cinnamon version of Mint. Sounds tasty...
