Importing an old issue (#39 on the old issue tracker) I brought up on BitBucket in mid-2010.
I was thinking about Boxer a bit, and it seems to me that there's one design flaw, largely caused by borrowing the DOSBox code. Savegames end up inside the .boxer bundles. It seems to me that there should be a point where you can mark a bundle "installed" (and thus write-protected), and then writes would go to a second directory, outside the bundle.
It seems like it'd be nice if the bundles weren't written into, just from a logical perspective. Second, it'd be nice to be able to back up the boxer bundles and the savegames separately.
