File: see below
Emulator: abuse
Attachment of config files: n/a
How to replicate the problem: see belowI installed "Abuse" and the installation was successful, I had to modify the file /opt /retropie/configs/ports /abuse/abuserc under datadir modifying it like this:
; Location of the datafiles
datadir = /opt/retropie/ports/abuse/abuse_datadir
In the directory abuse_datadir I added all the necessary directories and files taken here: abuse.zoy.org
I launched the game that does not start returning this error:
No such item nums0016.pcx in file art / icons.spe
(The same thing happens with the original DOS game file) - joystick 0 (controller) : DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick

Fixed: I downloaded Satan Paint (spaint.exe) and dos4gw.exe (to run spaint.exe under DOS). I used DOSBox to run spaint.exe and I created the .pcx (blank image) that were missing in the icons.spe file (from the nums0016.pcx to the nums0045.pcx), so I created a new icons.spe file and now it works correctly .
Here is the modified icons.spe file to work: https://github.com/Xenoveritas/abuse/files/2264348/icons.zip
