      @mitu Many thanks this sorted it. The game still fails but presumably an unrelated reason. Will try and resolve.

      Thanks. I modified pc/emulators.cfg to point to the installed dosbox, and it works. I am still working on setting up dosbox-staging, but it looks like that is going to work also.

      @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.

      @mbernier said in DOSBOX exit key mapping on gamepad issue:

      In my case i did not notice immediatly because it only affected non libretro package like redream, dosbox, vice and jzintv. All the others was working properly so it's something that can easily go unnoticed.

      My guess is only SDL1 apps would not be able to work reliably without the trigger_to_buttons param, all other SDL2 applications, should have better support for this configuration.

      @mitu thanks,it looks like xinit wasn't launching but in any case changing to SDL2 has made it much better! Much appreciated.

      @good_punk Not sure what tweaks Dosbian added to their Dosbox versions, one thing I see is that they've disabled the KMS GPU driver in their config

      [pi4] # Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack #dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d max_framebuffers=2

      Either Dosbox or Dosbox-Staging should be ok, start with the default configuration and try to find a fixed cycles value that's suitable for each game (on ARM, cycles = auto doesn't work so well). You can ask in the Dosbox-Staging topic or look in the Dosbox Staging wiki for pointers.

      @eberhab After more research it turns out that this is a "Pro Controller" related issue which affects all cores and emulators. It has already been beautifully solved here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16503/how-to-connect-a-switch-pro-controller-with-analog-stick-without-xboxdrv

      @eberhab hi. Good to know it's working and that you were able to sort a lot by reading that thread.

      As far as the emulators... Just stick with Pure and Staging. Not sure what's wrong with the pure setup that you get a blank screen. Make sure the .conf options for pure are specific to the emulator version.

      Theyre working on yet another fork of DOSBox that looks promising. Keep an eye on that thread. The guys on there are very helpful.

      @codafire

      Hi. You kinda skipped a few steps in describing the issue. What emulator are you using. What version of Retropie? RetroArch? There are 4 emulator options for Dos and each is slightly different version from each other. So that's really important.

      Also... Are you saving the config to the same file or renaming it to a new one? How are you doing this in the emulator? Do you know how to look at the files of RetroPie? If so, what does the .map file say?

      I thought I'd tried that option and have just realised why it didn't work. When you change the Port 1 controls to "Keyboard + Mouse", you can't actually assign any of the controls. You have to go back to the main Controls menu, THEN go back into the sub-menu and assign the ones you want.

      @stoo said in "Dosbox" mount c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc doesn't exist:

      sudo mount -t cifs -o uid=pi,guest,nounix,noserverino //192.168.0.250/storage/RetroPie /home/pi/RetroPie

      I am not sure why (maybe the vers=1.0) but using your recommended mount worked perfectly. I appreciate all the assistance to get this sorted. I was definitely stumped on this one. Mark this as solved.

      @andreas99

      Looks like a very nice idea.

      Can't help you with comments though,
      I am not using dosbox that often.

      Keep up the good work !

      In the meantime, hope someday we might get package versions of dosbox staging and disbox-X too, these seems to be eqally cool projects.
