GOG DOSBOX Configurator launcher

There is a file removed from wiki with strange argumentation. Unused and empty at same time. If it was noneme its obviously vandalism. But why than?

EA Origin (EA App) also did use similar builds DOS+DosBox only and similar to GOG Launcher-configurator file, also have launch for Network play. I dont remember if a saw same Network pre-launcher in GOG, and which games, and which build (GOG/GOG-Galaxy).

Its important launcher in any way for any build. @hile GOG default Desktop link lead to game exe, i use Start Menu DosBox launcher link instead and recommend both use it and cover it here. I mean, bring it back here, to more specifically.

At least one - old picture file - per all GOGs DosBox releases. And one per EA Origin ones.

Ideally find differences in it and upload them too. For some reson one of "recent" DosBox releases - Warcraft 1 use older prelauncher 2ith few options missed. Odd that GOG did fix that for MacOS releasing an "Hotfix update" but not Windows one.

Using Internet Web Archive it is easily to bring file back same as full list of articles it was used on. All used on articles listed on one page for pre-last saved date, and there is 4 more listed on latest on same page (second page unavailable for 4 titles of W-Z).

It is still available on PCGW content host provider http://pcgamingwiki.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/a/a0/GOG.com_DOSBox_Configurator_v2.png and not on Web Archive.

here is 99 articles (look to W-Z) http://web.archive.org/web/20151030044621/http://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/File:GOG.com_DOSBox_Configurator_v2.png

as seen on this pic there is no Network tab. Im not sure i rid saw such on one-some builds from GOG. They present on one/some EA Origin DosBox builds. As you know GOG have separate Network link file which lead to same game exe with alternate conf file argument. But not to DosBox Configurator pre-launcher. Subj useful only as singleplayer pre-launcher... alas there is builds with Network tab?

The launcher image was removed from PCGW due to it being unused at the time. The screenshot was once a staple on DOSBox related GOG releases which included it but the site went away from covering the same third-party non-game specific tool everywhere (as part of our move away from duplicating unnecessary info everywhere, no doubt).

If the tool is going to be covered, it would be on either Store:GOG.com or DOSBox, probably, but I personally do not see much relevance for it to be covered since it's ultimately seemingly just a simple frontend for editing the DOSBox configuration file.
