I haven't used the new version, so I can't say how well that works.
I had D-Fend on my old rig, but when I used it for Discworld - which was the only reason I needed it - I could not get the game to run fullscreen no matter what I tried. With DOSbox alone I had no problems with that. So as clunky as it was, it worked better for me.
