My Attempt at Trying To Install An ISO on Dosbox

Then i Came to a Halt

last picture don't know what to do from here ..

after i installed it & Exited the game , i dont know how to restart the game.

After The Game was playing for the first time (after installation)

I Exited The Game
I Then Did a Restart of Emulationstation (Retropie)
I Went to Ms Dos and the 2 options appear (+START DOSBOX & MADDOG)

-I Click on Maddog

then it brought me to the page (you see in the last picture)

Please Help ?

i got the it on a atuoexec.bat

 [autoexec]
@ECHO OFF
MOUNT -u C
MOUNT C /media/usb0/roms/pcwin/MADDOGMC
IMGMOUNT D /media/usb0/roms/pcwin/MADDOGMC/CD/MADDOG.ISO -t iso
c:
cd MadDog > NUL
cls
maddog
exit

change the names for the directory and see that u got the cd iso with that
hope it helps good luck :)

Any Chance you can change the Directorys to fit my pi ... it didnt work for me when i tried

my results were the same page as the last picture .

or anyway you could make me .bat file ....

shavecat · 8 Nov 2020, 22:34

@escc1986
here u go change your file to that -

 [autoexec]
@ECHO OFF
MOUNT -u C
MOUNT C /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/MADDOGMC
IMGMOUNT D /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/MADDOGMC/CD/MADDOG.ISO -t iso
c:
cd MadDog > NUL
cls
maddog
exit

Just put your MADDOG folder in that name folder in the pc folder .
pc/MADDOGMC/MADDOG
and cd iso image in a folder -
pc/MADDOGMC/CD/MADDOG.ISO
.
pay attention all the names need to be the same (with big letters)
or u can change it.
hope it helps ;)

I guess the only Problem now is i am not getting any sound or volume

Any Tips or Suggesting ?

i also have a freeze up regarding the sound issue

Thank you , very nice words from you ... yeahh its great to finally get it to work .... i like this version alot since dos is where i played this game as a young lad

yeah no sound for me ... im going to see if i can reinstall and take a picture of the sound settings ? maby you can recoomend me a settings for soundblaster ?

escc1986 · 12 Aug 2020, 20:52

@shavecat

ok right now im at the Sound Settings of the installation screen for " Mad Dog McCree " game

What Settings Do You Prefer ?

shavecat · 13 Aug 2020, 13:41

@escc1986
Got to say i never change anything there in the sound options or even go there.
check another msdos game , u have sound with it ?
this is my dosbox-SVN.conf - (in the folder retropie/configs/pc)

# This is the configuration file for DOSBox SVN. (Please use the latest version of DOSBox)
# Lines starting with a # are comment lines and are ignored by DOSBox.
# They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option.

[sdl]
#       fullscreen: Start dosbox directly in fullscreen. (Press ALT-Enter to go back)
#       fulldouble: Use double buffering in fullscreen. It can reduce screen flickering, but it can also result in a slow DOSBox.
#   fullresolution: What resolution to use for fullscreen: original, desktop or a fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
#                     Using your monitor's native resolution with aspect=true might give the best results.
#                     If you end up with small window on a large screen, try an output different from surface.On Windows 10 with display scaling (Scale and layout) set to a value above 100%, it is recommended
#                     to use a lower full/windowresolution, in order to avoid window size problems.
# windowresolution: Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
#                     (output=surface does not!)
#           output: What video system to use for output.
#                     Possible values: surface, overlay.
#         autolock: Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen. (Press CTRL-F10 to unlock)
#      sensitivity: Mouse sensitivity. The optional second parameter specifies vertical sensitivity (e.g. 100,-50).
#      waitonerror: Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.
#         priority: Priority levels for dosbox. Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized.
#                     pause is only valid for the second entry.
#                     Possible values: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest, pause.
#       mapperfile: File used to load/save the key/event mappings from. Resetmapper only works with the default value.
#     usescancodes: Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.

# captures: Directory where things like wave, midi, screenshot get captured.
#  memsize: Amount of memory DOSBox has in megabytes.
#             This value is best left at its default to avoid problems with some games,
#             though few games might require a higher value.
#             There is generally no speed advantage when raising this value.

[render]
# frameskip: How many frames DOSBox skips before drawing one.
#    aspect: Do aspect correction, if your output method doesn't support scaling this can slow things down!
#    scaler: Scaler used to enlarge/enhance low resolution modes. If 'forced' is appended,
#              then the scaler will be used even if the result might not be desired.
#              To fit a scaler in the resolution used at full screen may require a border or side bars,
#              to fill the screen entirely, depending on your hardware, a different scaler/fullresolution might work.
#              Possible values: none, normal2x, normal3x, advmame2x, advmame3x, advinterp2x, advinterp3x, hq2x, hq3x, 2xsai, super2xsai, supereagle, tv2x, tv3x, rgb2x, rgb3x, scan2x, scan3x.

[cpu]

#   cputype: CPU Type used in emulation. auto is the fastest choice.
#              Possible values: auto, 386, 386_slow, 486_slow, pentium_slow, 386_prefetch.
#    cycles: Amount of instructions DOSBox tries to emulate each millisecond.
#              Setting this value too high results in sound dropouts and lags.
#              Cycles can be set in 3 ways:
#                'auto'          tries to guess what a game needs.
#                                It usually works, but can fail for certain games.
#                'fixed #number' will set a fixed amount of cycles. This is what you usually
#                                need if 'auto' fails (Example: fixed 4000).
#                'max'           will allocate as much cycles as your computer is able to
#                                handle.
#              Possible values: auto, fixed, max.
#   cycleup: Amount of cycles to decrease/increase with keycombos.(CTRL-F11/CTRL-F12)
# cycledown: Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.

[mixer]
#   nosound: Enable silent mode, sound is still emulated though.
#      rate: Mixer sample rate, setting any device's rate higher than this will probably lower their sound quality.

# blocksize: Mixer block size, larger blocks might help sound stuttering but sound will also be more lagged.
#              Possible values: 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 512, 256.

#               Possible values: default, win32, alsa, oss, coreaudio, coremidi, none.
# midiconfig: Special configuration options for the device driver. This is usually the id or part of the name of the device you want to use (find the id/name with mixer/listmidi).
#               Or in the case of coreaudio, you can specify a soundfont here.
#               When using a Roland MT-32 rev. 0 as midi output device, some games may require a delay in order to prevent 'buffer overflow' issues.
#               In that case, add 'delaysysex', for example: midiconfig=2 delaysysex

try add this files with the data inside , and run the *.sh file.
hope it will make it work ;)

Thanks for the advice

unfortuly it didnt work the .sh file you advised ...

i dont know whats wrong with the sound in dosbox ...

i tried with

dosbox

&

ir dosbox

@escc1986
have u tired other games ?
that u got sound on the msdos ?

@shavecat

yeah i relized i didnt have sound in any other game ..

i only have

psx games

mame games

3 dosbox games

(all light gun games for those 3 consoles )

then i went to the audio setting in Retropie and selected default ...

i got my sound back in all games , except dosbox (no audio or sound )

i dont know if its my set up but all the audio is either choppy or cracking

but dosbox ... no sound at all

i installed

mad dog 1

mad dog 2

who shot johnny rock

no sound in the dosbox games
choppy sounds psx games
cracking sounds in the mame games

any suggestings ... do you need me to pull up any logs or something so you can see or any pictures of anything ?
