      @RPi-Techmarine Genarally you can run any GOG game on Dosbox when there is this small text beneath the requirements on the product page: This game is powered by DOSBox.

      If you want to rund Windows games you have to install BOX86 and wine (Look here and here), but it's a small gamble if the game will run bugfree or at all. Usually anything released maybe up to 2002 or 2003 is ok on an overclocked Pi4 but there are exceptions and a lot of tinkering involved.

      @agtrigormortis Dosabian! Thank you... I will check that out. It's all changed from a few years ago.

      I'm no good with Linux script. On my acrade build I tried 3 different screens all wider x 16:9 and they all looked awful. I went with a 2000's style 4:3 flat 20inch monitor but I had to get someone to set the PI up for VGA output and resolution and sound output on the headphone jack for the amp. I also used a VGA signal booster. The screen filters on retro arch are amazing for getting the CRT scan lines and barrel shape...I'm still in awe of the display after 3 years!
      The guy also took all the things off that take away from a stand alone arcade machine... I found people go for a look in Amiga or PlayStation(keyboard+analogue inputs) and that makes it poor because it doesn't work with pure arcade inputs. I'd much rather get an expert to help with the script though. 😎

      @koogelpotato The forum rules forbid sharing ROMs/games or other kind of copyrighted material. This is not that kind of forum.
      Since it's the 2nd time this happened, you'll get a temporary ban.

      For my DOSBox setup, I have mouse control set to a toggle. By default my left thumbstick acts as the standard joystick for DOSBox, but with a button press it's able to control mouse movement. I also have it set to change the two joystick buttons to left and right mouse clicks. This works well for the Atari ST and Amiga systems too, as several games need to be launched from an emulated desktop environment. Once the game is launched, I press the toggle button again and it reverts back to being a joystick. All that said, I still use a mouse and keyboard when I feel they're better suited. It all depends on the situation and the game.
