Description

Every core is listed by their manufacturer and system (eg. Nintendo, Sega, Sony) except for DOS cores. They should be listed under 'Microsoft' along with msx. Like this:

Microsoft DOS DOSBox-Core
Etc.

Or

MS-DOS DOSBox-Core
Etc.

There are lots of types of DOS. This should be listed and labelled under MS-DOS / Microsoft
