I'm making my flash drive bootable for gaming reason since my laptop has no floppy disk drive & my PC for my dos games fried
So I've got the stuff the stuff necessary for it but is there anything else that should be added to it for preformance for the dosgames?

I can't afford a USB floppy drive & some of the unstable games will not run on dos box.

What games are you intending to run,
as a bootable dos disk wont make much difference where as a processor is really fast
Your best bet would be to get an old dos PC..
Where are you from in the world, i got plenty of 486 motherboards

Dunno but $1NZ is a round 60 cents US.
