      It is possible to install DosBox into both Retropie AND the desktop. The advantage of doing so is you can run PC games or apps in the terminal window it opens on the desktop while you are compiling or doing something else (like waiting forever on board game arena for someone else to finish their turn). The disadvantage is that you don't appear to be able to fullscreen the DosBox session. I'm also doing this on a 4gb Pi 4 and it probably wouldn't work as well with less RAM.

      System Config: Retropie 4.4 with full desktop, RPi 3B, 256gb SD, 5v 2.1A 5,200 mAH USB battery. EasyMSX controller mounted with Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4 (non touch). Also running 4.6 on a 4gb Pi 4 serving as my primary desktop computer now.

        @VictimRLSH yes it is possible to install on retropie and desktop, we did this a few weeks ago testing some games, full screen needs to be adjusted by going to the games files. I think conquest we had a left small screen but got it to full screen.
