[Question] Which core parameters can be configured via .conf or dosbox.bat

Open Ric-82 opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

I would like to clarify which core parameters are actually configurable through the .conf file or the dosbox.bat file. Specifically:

  • Which parameters are supported by these files
  • What syntax should be used to set them

I checked the README but couldn’t find any documentation on this point.

Could you provide guidance or point me to the relevant resources?

Generally it matches regular DOSBox because the core is based on that. To figure out the complete list of settings, you can launch the core without content and press "Go to Command Line", then run config -dump. Now find the saves folder of your frontend which should now contain "DOSBox-pure.pure.zip". Open the ZIP file and inside you'll find DBOXCONF.TXT which will list all supported settings and their current values as set via core options.
