Dosbox - Alternate emulators

Hi, i love some of the things you have done with the dosbox implementation (like the installer detection etc)

But i would like to use powerarch/libretro to run dos-games as it has really nice shader functionality for that "authentic" feel.

There are also various alternate builds of dosbox that some people could be interested in using, so it would be cool if i could choose to use either a different build of dos box and choose the path for that or use "other emulator" and set up the parameters just like I can with other platforms.

This might already be possible and passed me by, if so i apologize for my lack of research. :)

Folder monitoring and filetypes

Just like i enjoy the importing of dos games i also really like the importing and scraping of folders.

Two features I would really like though is 1) the ability to scrape a whole folder for only one file type (my roms are allways in zip files, but this could also be the spesific file types for that platform (Filetypes could be defined in the platform settings)) and in extention of this 2) the ability to set up launchbox to monitor certain folders for changes and either automatically or by prompt import and scrape any new files added to those folders.

(Some of these are probably already on your list, but i thought I'd mention them anyways :) )
