On: DOSBox-X: Free, cross-platform and complete DOS, Windows 3.x and 9x emulation

I don't know why they don't provide a deb, but assuming all the build dependencies are installed, converting the rpm via Alien works fine.

Also, be aware if you are using your existing DOSBox directory: games that require installation might not work if installed via the original DOSBox.

Why? I have installed them on bare metal aeons ago and only copied since then. All I had to change occasionally was sound card details.

It's probably rare, but I speak from experience (specifically with the game "Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb"). Installed with DOSBox, worked fine; when opened in DOSBox-X, graphics were all screwed up, and all the settings were set upon install, so I would have had to reinstall anyways. This was more than a year ago, so maybe it wouldn't happen today given how many new releases they have, but I don't feel like testing it out.

Still, great project, and I prefer it over the OG DOSBox.
