Flatpak

You can use Boxtron with DOSBox flatpak package:

Installation

$ sudo flatpak install flathub com.dosbox.DOSBox

For all games

You need to override dosbox.cmd. Edit ~/.config/boxtron.conf:

cmd = flatpak run --filesystem=%install_dir% com.dosbox.DOSBox

Boxtron will expand %install_dir% to the absolute path pointing to the game installation directory, blocking DOSBox from accessing any files outside of that sandbox.

For a single game

Set launch options:

BOXTRON_DOSBOX_CMD="flatpak run --filesystem=%install_dir% com.dosbox.DOSBox" %command%
