It's as pain in the ass, but worth it if there's something you're specifically looking for. I used it to setup the old-school solitaire game on my wife's computer, 'cause she missed it. Doesn't like the new one. :p It'd be nice if it were as plug-and-play and (s)nes(64)/PS(I/II) emulators.
Best to get a real DOS machine. Preferably one from each era. Mine are AT clone 286 10mhz, 486 DX4 120mhz, Pentium Pro 180mhz.. and a stack of Tandy's: 1000TL (XT 286 12mhz), 4020 (386SX 16mhz i think), and a 486SX 25mhz model I can't remember the number of without pulling off the case.. All tricked out, since just a plain machine won't really cut it.
That is way too much work, for me. Don't care that much. Would rather simply tweak some config files for each thing that I wanted to do. Hell: WINE works for a lot of stuff, too.
