Public bug reported:
Wine should use the dosbox config file when launching DOS programs.
Otherwise, users can't control how Wine launches them
In my personal case, I like to set up the aspect option by default. It
works if I load the program directly with dosbox, but not when done via
wine.
There can be an easy way to accomplish this by passing the option
-userconf when launching dosbox. From dosbox's README:
-userconf
Start DOSBox with the users specific configuration file. Can be used
together with multiple -conf parameters, but -userconf will always be loaded
before them.
This option was added in dosbox 0.74, released more than 6 years ago.
Patch for it. Note that a dependency on dosbox >= 0.74 will need to be
in place too.

- The start_dosbox() function at programs/winevdm/winevdm.c should not start
with an empty configuration file for dosbox, but take the currently used by the
user. In a linux system, this is at ./dosbox/dosbox.conf
+ There can be an easy way to accomplish this by passing the option
+ -userconf when launching dosbox. From dosbox's README:
- With this, DOS programs loaded via wine will respect the options that
- the user has set up for dosbox, or allow him a way to indicate them.
