      So i cross this image of msdos games with windows games also like Bad Mojo or 3D ultra pinball .


      (from the 8min')
      So i download it any try it it did work with the games.
      So it got a badmojo.sh file with this inside -

      #!/bin/bash
      /opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin/dosbox -conf /opt/retropie/configs/pc/dosbox-SVN.conf -conf /media/usb/roms/pc/BADMOJO/AUTOEXEC.BAT -exit
      

      and from the AUTOEXEC.BAT inside bad mojo I got that -

      [autoexec]
      @ECHO OFF
      MOUNT -u C
      MOUNT C /media/usb0/roms/pc/BADMOJO
      IMGMOUNT D /media/usb0/roms/pc/BADMOJO/CD/BAD_MOJO.CUE -t iso
      c:
      path=C:\;z:\;c:\windows\
      cd BadMojo > NUL
      cls
      win runexit c:\badmojo\badmojo.exe
      exit
      

      I got it working on my on pi from my usb hard drive ...
      Still dont get how it really works ?
      can i add games from myself ?
      I did try Postal 1 and Captain Claw .
      but with no successes ...
      Anyone else have Info more on this ?

        DoxBox is for DOS games, it doesn't support Windows games. And please don't post link to video advertising 3rd party images.

            @mitu But those images also have always "EAZY HAX Toolkit" installed. I once removed the file extension BIN from CD based games in annother distro ... What a drama :D

              @shavecat with dosbox you can run games for windows 3.1
              I managed to emulate games like:
              Alien force (1990)
              Battle Beast (1995)
              Freecell (1995)
              Skifree (1991)
              Zombie Wars (1996)
              Etc ...
              I managed to make Space Cadet work too ... but it works rather badly on a Raspberry pi 3B (not plus)
              this is an example of the code to start the game directly from windows 3.1

              #!/bin/bash
              /opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin/dosbox -c "mount c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/win311" -c "mount d /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/zwars" -c "c:" -c "cd windows" -c "win d:\ZWARS.EXE" -c "exit"
              

              of course, with this system, you cannot run Windows 95 games (or later) like Captain Claw
