README

GameDotExe just does one thing and that is launching ms-dos games. The first time you start the program it will ask you where you ms-dos games are stored. Then it will scan you game folders for an .ini file the .ini file needs to have the same name as the game folder.

folder structure

  • gamename/c/[your game data]
  • gamename/gamename.ini
  • gamename/gamename.ico

ini file example

[Gameinfo]
name = Titanic Adventure Out Of Time
icon = titanic.ico
exec = C:\gamedir\game.exe

The launcher will then create a dosbox.cfg file with the correct information which then will be used to launch the game.

Requirements

  • xdg
  • ConfigParser
  • Pixbuf
  • gi
  • os
  • pathlib

AppImage

The AppImage version comes packed with all the necessary dependencies and should work just fine for most people.
