Here's a link to my portable Lemmings 2. This includes a fanmade levelpack option and will run automatically with DOSBox Staging out of the folder. Just unzip. The exe is already edited too.

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: [Select]

a20gate off
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".
