You probably have used an old version in the past without gui. The current versions under normal circumstances can be used without any config file editing just by choosing the path of the game in the ui which comes with dosbox itself. Btw. there are several old games downloadable for free and legally on the scummvm page, Beneath a Steel Sky and Lure of the Temptress for instance.
