problems running scripts for individual games in DOSBox

[Semper 5]

I, for the life of me, cannot get my custom scripts working and was wondering if anybody had any insight why I'm getting the glorious boot out DOSBox at running the script.

I have tried making .sh scripts to run directly - FAIL
also tried making a .sh script to run a custom .conf with autoexec commands - FAIL

It just starts, gives me hope and quickly fades back out to menu. no CLI, nothing. My last resort is to make actual .bat files but I'd really just like my scripts to work.

NOTE: I have followed this tutorial to a tee, and have copied script lines verbatim and still doesn't work.

@semper-5 It is now possible to launch games in DOSBox using .conf files, which are custom DOSBox config files.

For example, to launch Wolfenstein 3D, you can create a text file, wolf3d.conf in the pc folder with the following contents:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
 
MOUNT c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc
C:
cd WOLF3D
WOLF3D.EXE
EXIT

This is a recent update (Dec 2017) so you may need to update DOSBox from the setup script first.

@dudleydes yes I tried that as well.

UPDATE: everything is working perfect now. the trick was updating the binaries. :) Geez I should have started with that a week ago haha.
