boxtron VS dosbox-staging

It also allows you to install Boxtron, Luxtorpeda, and Roberta for some old school games, and then choose them in the launch options for Steam just as if they were Proton versions.

Boxtron is tool for automatically converting DOS games on Steam from using "old Windows version of DOSBox via Proton/Wine" to native Linux DOSBox - I specifically implemented there conversion of case sensitivity in .cue but also automatic rewriting of paths (because some game developers publish games on Steam without testing them at all). Right now it does not work unfortunately :( - when it'll be fixed I will post the update on this sub and /r/linux_gaming (and others as well probably).

Yeah, that's the annoyance of using flatpak unfortunately :( The version of Boxtron from flatpak store is designed to work with Steam installed via flatpak - which is not the case on SteamOS. I created a bug report for myself to fix it: https://github.com/dreamer/boxtron/issues/53 - you can follow the progress there.

Boxtron

I dont use this but have you tried taking a look at this wiki article: https://github.com/dreamer/boxtron/wiki/Configuration

For DOS games on Steam, there's also a Proton alternative called Boxtron that is basically DOSBox packaged to work as a Steam Play compatibility tool.

DOSBox Staging has the best CRT emulation I've seen. It really feels like going back to a VGA monitor.

See the screenshots on https://dosbox-staging.github.io/

https://dosbox-staging.github.io/ Latest Staging version is 0.80.

Anyhow whioch dosbox? Well there were non release version somewhere on t he stage but it got fairly bad and https://dosbox-staging.github.io/ is probbaly a better choice.

You may also want to consider alternatives, such as DOSBox Staging, DOSBox Enhanced Community Edition, or DOSBox-X.. or if you're looking for a more user friendly experience, you can also try the eDuke32, Raze, or JFDuke3D community ports instead of messing around with DOS settings. Hope this helps!

Any crashes and freezes you experience -> please report them in the bug tracker: https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/issues

In DOSBox Staging you can type imgmount /? and it will show you some usage examples, including the one with multiple floppies :).

The version of DOSbox the above games come with is very old, so you may want to look into something like https://dosbox-staging.github.io/, which will run those games much better on newer hardware.

Lo puedes jugar emulando DOS en DOSBox (recomiendo el "fork" DOSBox Staging) o a través de un source port llamado Commander Genius, que es más fácil de usar y tiene algunas facilidades para la modernidad.
