Not sure what happened but your file manager is completely broken, bro. It doesn't do anything, doesn't allow us to add folders.

Installed and it doesn't work on my Chromebook. It flashes then closes. Completely useless. Took something simple and turned it into a nightmare. Wish I could give it a billion zeros. Going back to Windows platform where there's a working version of DosBox available to use without the headaches.
