Or I don't know how to launch dos box to get the command line

The first entry in the pc system is +Start DOSbox - this is what you can run to get a DosBox command line.

Who said anything about quitting EmulationStation ? You go to the PC (or MSDOS) system in EmulationStation, where you have copied your game, and there you have the +Start DOSBox entry:

@escc1986 did you configure this image yourself? Or is this a pre-configured image that you downloaded with games already on it?

escc1986

@quicksilver

This was an already made image

Ok ... I found out how to start dosbox on my retropie

"Quit Emulationstation"

I then typed

cd /opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin (enter)

Then I pressed : sudo ./dosbox (enter) To start dosbox

@escc1986 we can't support third party images. See: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

If you want troubleshooting help youll need to start with the official stock image. Otherwise you'll need to ask the that image's creator for help.

All of the issues you are having is because you are using a third party image. There is no way to know what settings the image creator messed with, which means we have no baseline for troubleshooting. I'm sorry but I don't want to spend all day trying to blindly troubleshoot your third party image.

@escc1986 if you start with a stock image I would gladly assist you

escc1986

Thank you ... appreciate that .. that ok let me create a new image and try

escc1986

escc1986

We don't usually delete topics just because someone used an unsupported system, even if they seem like a waste of time/bits. Don't worry about it, just don't come back using another 'made' image - start with the image from retropie.org.uk/download and follow the docs to install and configure it.

quicksilver

@escc1986 once you get the official image set up feel free to continue using this thread to troubleshoot setting up your dos game.

escc1986

Thank you both , and yes i do apologize for any incovience i may have cause ... i will use a new image next time , i talk with you guy

thank you for the lesson learned

escc1986

Ok I'm back ... From the start

For some reason there isn't any news or Help on the Subject of Willy Bemish (CD) Talkie and in the Compatible list , it's not listed

When trying to install the game I get

"Error creating Configuration file"

Yes I mounted the ISO

By going into dosbox and typing

imgmount c "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/willy /willy.iso" -t iso -fs iso

It said mounted

And I typed

C:

C:install Willy.exe

It takes me to the install method

When I typed drive C and press install (in the install menu)

It says

Error creating configuration file (press any key to exit)

Is it possible for this game to work ?

Hope your able to help

Thank you

@escc1986 it should run on dosbox just fine. Let me see if I can get it running and then I'll report back to you
