Add Known DOSBox configs to the automatic download repository

Issue #3138 new
Former user created an issue

Forgive me, I'm new here. I just got into LaunchBox after watching Metal Jesus give a review. So if it's not already implemented, I think that Custom DOSBox configuration files tailored to specific games could and should be downloaded from the repository upon import and installation, just like Metadata. You already have LaunchBox Title IDs for each game in the Database.

The focus of this request would be to instantly remedy DOS games that have issues with DOSBox in general, and configurations that are known to work could and SHOULD be added to the installation process.

A user could change certain settings based on their custom hardware/software (i.e. Roland MT-32 or BASSMIDI support), but the base configuration file would be pre-made to the specifications of certain games that are known to need performance tweaking.

A great example of this is Ken's Labyrinth. No matter WHAT settings I try to use in this game, it always crashes. It appears to be related to the sound system. If someone has already corrected this issue, then they could submit their DOSBox config for review, and that config could become the standard automatically downloaded config file for that game.

Thoughts?
