The Config File is Missing in Dobox 0.73. How Do I Fix This? (Updated)

2009-06-05T00:22:00.005-04:00

The transition from Dosbox 0.72 to 0.73 has seen a number of improvements in terms of performance and compatibility. With these changes however comes a partial death of the config file which has been available in previous versions of Dosbox without any additional work. If you are running into trouble because of this, as many visitors will, I recommend one of two options (listed below). I am currently in the process of updating all of the guides on this site with the new version of Dosbox in mind but it will take time to do this. In the meantime it is best to use one of the two methods listed below.

Option 1 (Create a Config File):

First: Open Dosbox by double clicking on the Dosbox program icon.

Next: At the the command prompt in Dosbox type "config -writeconf dosbox.conf" and then press the "Enter" key.

Next: Type "exit" to exit Dosbox.

Finally: If the first command you entered in Dosbox was done correctly you will now see a new Dosbox config file in the same folder the Dosbox program is located in.

Option 2 (Download Dosbox 0.72):

First: Go to the Dosbox Website.

Next: Click on the section labeled "Old dosbox versions".

Next: Click on the link labeled "0.72".

Now: This will show three additional links. Click on the one labeled "Dosbox0.72-win32-installer.exe" and you will be able to download version 0.72 of Dosbox.

Finally: With version 0.72 of Dosbox downloaded follow the other steps as they are written in the games guide and the game will run as before.
