      @bkumanchik so the setting @mitu posted wasnt going to work because all caps and lowercase are important in the conf files. Of course he had no way knowing not seeing your file structure. So do it like the gog conf with the same caps and lowercase but of course changing the config to point to your executable.

        @bkumanchik I don't understand. I asked before:

        If you got the game from GOG, then it should include a dosbox.conf file (or something that resembles that file name). You can try looking in the [autoexec] section from that file to see how Dosbox starts the game.

        Then you said you found the file - so did you copy the part from the GOG .conf file to your game on the PI to test if it works ?

          @mitu should I copy the whole thing or just the autoexec section?

                @bkumanchik this is what you need to add:

                [autoexec] 
                @echo off 
                mount c: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc-data/
                cd BIOFORGE
                BIOFORGE.EXE
                exit

                    Ahh yeah, the INSTALL.OPT file for this game, you can change where it would point to the cd to the install path instead and go cdless. It also needs to find the data in C:\BIOFORGE\ so mounting the pc-data as the C root is the way to do this one; and many others that install to HardDisk with install options.

                        It's actually quite cheap at the moment, thanks for the heads-up!

                          @Brigane Yes, they have a sale, a lot of good old games are now just a penny. Bought The Day of the Tentacle the other day.

                            If you want a pretty funny play through of Bioforge, Giant Bomb have you covered:

                            Backflips 'n BioForge - Part 01

                            There’s three parts, and then a great interview with one of the creators:
                            https://www.giantbomb.com/shows/the-bioforge-interview/2970-17104/free-podcast

                            I never played this as a kid, but I can respect everyone’s love for it. :)
