      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 ?

                @shavecat said in Mad Dog McCree Dos Box Help:

                [autoexec]
                @ECHO OFF
                MOUNT -u C
                MOUNT C /media/usb0/roms/pcwin/MADDOGMC

                cls
                maddog
                exit

                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 ....

                  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

                          hows everything on your end , did you have sound issues ?

                                  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.

                                  #      sensitivity: Mouse sensitivity. The optional second parameter specifies vertical sensitivity (e.g. 100,-50).

                                  maddogmc.sh (in just the PC FOLDER)

                                  #!/bin/bash
                                  /opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin/dosbox -conf /opt/retropie/configs/pc/dosbox-SVN.conf -conf /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/MADDOGMC/AUTOEXEC.BAT -exit
                                  

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