Steam Play compatibility tool to run DOS games using native Linux DOSBox

The global configs BOXTRONCMD and BOXTRONARGS in the Global Config (f.e. via Global Menu) need to be set correctly initially. It should not be necessary to change the default BOXTRONARGS. Defaults are: ** BOXTRONCMD=/usr/share/boxtron/run-dosbox BOXTRONARGS=--wait-before-run ** which is at least valid if you are on Arch Linux and installed boxtron from AUR.

To start a game with boxtron either set USEBOXTRON in the Game Config (f.e. via Game Menu) or put the game into the Steam Category "DOSBox" Alternatively duplicate the file to a different name which you want to use as category name, ideally into STLCATEGORYDIR (see Steam Categories.
