Dosbox and .dsk
-
Ok i have
Mega Man (1990)(Hi-Tech Expressions).dsk
and i remember as a kid playing it on a computer that looks exactly like the pic of the apple2 but it wont load. So i did some research and it should run under dosbox but it dont accept.dsk
is there a way to play this on retropie? -
This looks like a disc/floppy image, have you tried mounting it with
imgmount
in Dosbox ? -
C:\>imgmount a "/RetroPie/roms/pc/Mega Man (1990)(Hi-Tech Expression).dsk" -t floppy Drive A is mounted as /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/Mega Man (1990)(Hi-Tech Expression).dsk
But when i do
C:\>boot -l a Booting from drive A...
Nothing happens
-
So the issue i had with previously was that its not a bootable disk you still have to locate the
.exe
file. So i wrote this#!/bin/bash /opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin/dosbox -c "mount c ~/RetroPie/roms/pc" -c "c:" -c 'imgmount a "~/RetroPie/roms/pc/Mega Man (1990)(Hi-Tech Expressions).dsk" -t floppy' -c "a:" -c "mm.exe"
It launches with the dosbox but the character constantly moves left even with removing all keys from left mapping. So my next issue would be controls. Now if i try the same thing with lr-dosbox it acts as if the
.sh
file was typed rather then the text within it. But if i manually mount and boot the character does the same thing but am able to stop it with disconnecting the second controller. So one step at a time. -
