Bug ID: 40380 Summary: Wine should take dosbox's configuration instead of creating a new one Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: dos Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: shankao@gmail.com Distribution: ---
The start_dosbox() function at programs/winevdm/winevdm.c should not start with an empty configuration file for dosbox, but take the currently used by the user. In a linux system, this is at ./dosbox/dosbox.conf
With this, DOS programs loaded via wine will respect the options that the user has set up for dosbox, or allow him a way to indicate them.
In my personal case, I like to set up the aspect option by default. It works if I load the program directly with dosbox, but not when done via wine.
