D-Fend Reloaded provides a graphical environment to DOSBox. D-Fend Reloaded, a successor to D-Fend (now retired), is D-Fend Reloaded. Both environments look the same, and D-Fend Reloaded includes all features of DFend. You can also use the D-Fend configuration files.
DOSBox emulates a computer and can run almost all DOS-based games on modern hardware. However, DOSBox setup was still complicated. For novice users, the configuration of DOSBox via text-based setup files may be difficult. D-Fend Reloaded is here to help. These files can be created with it.
Additionally, the D-Fend Reloaded package also contains the DOSBox app (including all current language files), so there is only one installation and no need for DOSBox to be linked manually.
