new games are scary so make sure your dosbox.conf file is tight it's like autoexec.bat but if you bugger it up you can fix it without waiting 2 minutes for a reboot

I use a wrist rest to raise my wrists up https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-WaveRest-Wrist-Keyboards-F8E263-BLK/dp/B00004Z5RA/ I go through like 2 of these a year though, because the foam will start to collapse after awhile. But they are cheap.
