"Easy and useful!"

nanoduck January 22, 2012 / Version: DOSShell 1.8

2012-01-22 13:28:40 | By nanoduck

Pros

It was easy to install and didn't have a problem getting it to work. It is so much easier than trying to run a program with DOSBOX only...all I needed to do was make an entry and point it to the file to run and then all you need to do is click on it and it runs.

Cons

Maybe more features?

Summary

Highly recommended if you want an easy way to run your old DOS games and programs.

"Wonderful DOSBox Frontend"

Asuyuka August 25, 2011 / Version: DOSShell 1.8

2011-08-25 23:15:52 | By Asuyuka

Pros

Easy to Use
Easy to Setup
Quick to Setup Games
Not Very Big

Cons

None that I know of.

Summary

In short, DOSShell is a lovely little DOSBox Frontend. It runs with DOSBOX flawlessly, and makes setting up newer games a breeze. Probably my favorite since D-Fender vanished.

"Waste of Time for such a small program"

southernrican2 May 18, 2011 / Version: DOSShell 1.8

Pros

One one pro it is free.

Cons

Need to take a course to understand, is a waste of time. Windows is suppose to make things simpler. Once you load this is suggest loading dosbox.

Summary

NOT anything like you old Dosshell, more like a maze.

"Couldn't get it to do the job"

MrHenders0n December 07, 2010 / Version: DOSShell 1.7

2010-12-07 08:00:49 | By MrHenders0n

Pros

Costs nothing

Cons

Despite much faffing about I never succeeded in getting it to launch the one DOS application (the game 'Z') that I need DOSBox for. Possibly it's capable of it, but it turned out to be easier to use DOSBox directly, despite the poor documentation.
