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.

Does this work with L2 Player as well?

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

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".

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