If it’s a config/cli compatible fork, you can use it in place of DOSBox by simply providing it as a custom executable for the runner.

Yes, I know I can do that, but I think Lutris should officially add it to the runners list because it’s a more advanced Dosbox version. With this version, we could create scripts for 3DFX dos games. Or resolve this issue: https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/2097.

I’d second this, DOSBox-X is really shaping up as an outstanding VM platform and I’m able to successfully run Windows 95 games with it. 3dfx support has a ways to go still, but for 2d gaming it’s outstanding. It deserves to be a first-class runner in Lutris.
