Dos box pure should have an option to install drivers and include them.

It is becoming harder and harder to find usable drivers. I am pulling my hair to install pod gold or blood with 3dfx support. Or installing gravis ultrasound drivers on windows 95.

In an app like VMware player i was able to run those games easily with nglide and just by selecting, install drivers .

Since 3dfx and gravis are no more existing as company, dos box pure should include and provide an easy way to install those drivers for the 3 os it support (dos,win95/98). That will make running those old games easier.

The dos part is easy to run but the windows part is still a nightmare in my opinion.

Dosbox pure could include as well a warning about not compatible options that could freeze the old os and settings to fix this (windows 95 and 98 still crash with default settings) this could be helpful.

Ps: adding a free to use default soundfont could be better as well , for a better sound that is not system dependant (fluid soundfont maybe?)
