I don't know what devil magic was used to accomplish this but Goldeneye32x managed to make a PC port of Rondo of Blood. And yes, it is fully functional, i played it. The link to the game is in the description of the video
I mean, the game's program icon gives it away. It's a custom wrapper using an older version of Mednafen. Source: about 1 year ago

Due to Boxer (MacOS) no longer being in development, I've been on the lookout for a new front-end for DOSBox, especially after finding out about Win9x support in DOSBox-X. In my search I came across DBGL (https://dbgl.org/). Sadly I'm not sure how to configure it to use DOSBox-X instead of the bundled version DosBox. Would anyone here know how to do it?
