Hi All, 
    ...Greets from my Telegram app!

DOSBox-X

I just noticed that someone posted info about DOSBox-X for their system.  Here is the post:

If you haven't checked out DOSBox-X yet, I highly recommend it.  It has some very worthwhile features for running 16-bit DOS door games.

I'm very pleased to say that Yankee Trader is now running with simultaneous multi-node play enabled here at ConChaos.  This is thanks to DOSBox-X, a special version of #DOSBox that adds tons of nice features, two of which are essential for old door games: working socket-inheritance and file sharing/locking between multiple instances.
I've documented my setup at: https://conchaos.synchro.net/yt_info.html#dosbox
In addition, I've also been running a second YT game, with missiles disabled, to prevent players from spamming missiles to probe the galaxy.

Ciao!
