DOSBox Configuration for Individual Games
- Each game will have a separate configuration(dosbox-SDL2.conf) and a separate controller mapping file(example.map)
- In the case of many executable files in the game folder, there is no need to edit the gamelist.xml file
- When you exit the game, the DOSBox will be closed automatically
- Controller mapping procedure will be explained
