Does this work with L2 Player as well?
jkapp76:
This is the same version of L2 I mentioned to you before. Yes, it allows you to load Kierran's level pack.

Per https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/1995, if you want to play Lemmings 2 using Dosbox-X, make sure that at the Dosbox-X command prompt, you first set
--- Code: ---a20gate off
--- End code ---
then run L2.EXE as normal.

Great advice! This will prevent the game from locking on startup.
I think it's easier to edit the "dosbox.conf" file with any text editor. Make sure the line reads "turn off a20 gate on boot = true".
Then you can use dosbox-x freely any never worry about it. I've never noticed any benefit to having this set to the default "=no".

More specifically, open dosbox-x.conf in a text editor, scroll down to the [autoexec] section, and add the line
--- Code: ---a20gate off
--- End code ---
