Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data.
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1299710/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1299710) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

    The issue seems related to having the core setting assigned to dynamic. Tested in actual lastest DOSBox SVN and forks.
