DOSBox System or DOSBox Lutris?

Support
1

Hello,

Have been using Lutris for a short while now, and so far everything seems to go well, however I notice that DOSBox can be installed from the Lutris runners list (I suppose other runners too, but that is the one I have had immediate experience with), but then it is not detected by the system and apparently Lutris handles it “on its own”.

So, I would like to ask if there are any specific reasons for this, and any considerable advantages/disadvantages as compared to a “standard” system install, and why?

Thanks.

As far as I’m aware that option is only there for people who for whatever reason struggle to or don’t want to install a system-wide dosbox. I have never noticed a difference.

Maybe there’s some fancy edge case that I’m missing though, like wanting to have a different config for different dosboxes?
