How do I link games that use DOSBOX? - Waifu4Life - 06-03-2020

Hi there,

I have a couple of GOG games that use DOSBOX. How do I link them in Playnite to make them launch? In a GOG shortcut works like this:

E:\GOG\Games\DOOM\DOSBOX\DOSBox.exe -conf "..\dosbox_doom.conf" -conf "..\dosbox_doom_single.conf" -noco

When you are editing the game entry head to the Actions tab, add a Play Action, and set it to Executable. Then put E:\GOG\Games\DOOM\DOSBOX\DOSBox.exe in the Path box and "..\dosbox_doom.conf" -conf "..\dosbox_doom_single.conf" -noco in the Arguments box.
