Profile editor dialog page "DOSBox settings"

On this page you can configurate some DOSBox specific settings.

• DOSBox priority (foreground)
  This is the priority Windows should give DOSBox when it is running in foreground. Normal Windows applications will get priority "normal". Giving DOSBox a higher priority will give more CPU power to DOSBox than to other programs.
• DOSBox priority (background)
  This is the priority Windows should give DOSBox when it is running in background. Normal Windows applications will get priority "normal". Giving DOSBox a higher priority will give more CPU power to DOSBox than to other programs.
• Close DOSBox when program closes
  If this option is activated, the DOSBox window will be closed when the program running inside DOSBox quits. Otherwise the DOSBox window will stay open and you will have to enter "exit" to close it manually. If the program you want to run inside DOSBox terminates with an error turning off this options allows you to read the error message before DOSBox closes.
• Use predefined DOSBox installation
  In this box you can select the DOSBox installation you want to use. The DOSBox installation listed in this box can be configurated on the DOSBox page of the program options dialog.
• Use this custom DOSBox installation

• Use this custom language in DOSBox By activating this option you can choose a custom language for DOSBox messages when running this profile. If no custom language is activated the language selected on the DOSBox page of the program options dialog will be used.
