Here is a tutorial to get your Steam Controller and the Steam Overlay working with DosBox. This method is courtesy of Kevin Connolly and his guide can be found at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=798840934

For premade shader and .conf files: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mWu218EoeDahIUZGr3Swg4NrqN7Dg7Nn

Just a note: this guide is aimed at using the original game files or Dos games purchased through GOG. The reason for this is that both of those formats have file format patterns and/or launch patterns. Dos games on Steam are a mess and have zero consistency so it's impossible to provide a single method that will work with every game and not require the user to understand how DosBox, .conf files, and batch files work. However, I am creating a follow up video that will present a way to handle Dos games purchased via Steam. Stay tuned for that.
