If there's any MS-DOS games that don't have a dosbox template applied to it, i can try to do it and have it avaliable; It isn't hard but like old-games.com i kinda like having preconfigured ready-to-run once you extract it. Makes it a little easier.

I've already done this for a few titles, like PowerDolls and Doom.
 
I normally use DosBox-Pure in Retro Arch, that actually has some controller configurations for a few games like Alone in the Dark, and Jill of the Jungle

Yeah that reminds me that the configurations that work out-of-the-box for windows, didn't necessarily work on a console. This was due to a minor setting issue that didn't exist on the ARM processor/port of DosBox like SDL. (Though some games, like Where in the world is Carmen Sandiago, worked fine with no changes)
 
I happened to use your powerdolls dosbox template after seeing it in the comment section on here months ago and it was super useful!!
I agree its way easier having things preconfigured, sort of like how GOG packages their DOS titles.

One title ive been having trouble running has been Descent to Undermountain (MyAbandonware / Internet Archive) do you think you could take a look at it ?

I'll take a look at it. Archive when i've used it has the tendency to provide a 'installed' directory but you have to set up dosbox yourself, and hope it's right. And more often re-installing from the iso/disk is easier.

edit: Yep, found it on old-games.com, downside is the free download only does 5k/s. I'll download it and extract the important non-iso bits and make a installer script for it so you'd only provide the iso to make it work. If that doesn't work i'll work on it from scratch.
