I know i'll probably be ostracized by the GoG community for requesting a good Frontend because I know most DOSBOX users do it themselves. But I'm a lazy old gamer, and I just want to buy off GoG and have the Frontend do all the hard work.

So if anyone has a good Frontend, I would like to know ;).


-Thanks

The best frontend I've found is GOG.com!
Seriously, I just run the installer & the game works.
Can it really get better?

Oh, you don't need DOSBOX for the GoG versions? Man I'm stupid :P.

Those games that require it come with it packaged into the installer.
As part of the install process, it configures itself.
So you just click the game icon as you would any other game.
You probably don't even notice it is there.

What Rodzaju wrote is 100% true, I'll only add that you may need to change a variable or an other for certain games to make them working as you intended, but those cases are few and far between and even then you have a nice, easily manageable conf file for every game.

Ok, cool. Thanks for the info guys! My GoG list will steadily increase now ;D.

Well, I use DBGL for all my GOG DOSBox games, 'cause I think I can configure 'em even better, with GOG's tweaks as a template.

I've always used D-Fend and D-Fend Reloaded and haven't had any problems.

EDIT: Also, if you use a Mac, Boxer is the best app to use. I almost liked it better than D-Fend
