@shaun57 I read that dosbox when set to fcs joystick will only recognize the first controller.

@VictimRLSH yes it is possible to install on retropie and desktop, we did this a few weeks ago testing some games, full screen needs to be adjusted by going to the games files. I think conquest we had a left small screen but got it to full screen.

@MultoBene you are trying to mount an image file to drive "2". It's expecting a letter like "d" not a number. You might look into using a .conf file instead for launching your ROMs. I'm not 100% sure if they work with lr-dosbox. Lr-dosbox had extremely poor performance last I tried so I haven't messed with it very much.

@quicksilver Oh! Thank you for all your advice <3

.sh files are not understood by lr-dosbox, but they should work withdosbox - as mentioned in the topic you referenced. The preferred way would be to use .conf file for launching your games, where you can set your dosbox preferences and add an [autoexec] section for launching the game itself. For instance (game.conf): [autoexec] MOUNT c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc C: cd GameDir Game.exe EXIT The .conf files are understood by both dosbox and lr-dosbox.

Thanks.

@nemo93 thanks for the reply! I tried it a while ago by following the guides about a year ago but it kept crashing so figured it might not be possible. Never mind, there's always 3.1! :-)

@mitu But haven't I already got that command in the code above at the beginning? After the path to xboxdrv?

@Simrose hmm, im not sure, I havent seen this with any of my games.

@jul059 said in lr-dosbox-svn / lr-dosbox-core (new dosbox libretro cores): Not sure where to post this, but dosbox-staging might be worth considering as a core. The pixel-perfect scaling mode looks interesting. Pixel-perfect scaling is done by the frontend in libretro cores. Usually called "integer scaling" (RetroArch calls it that, for example.) If you enable that in the frontend, and also turn off the "Video: Aspect ratio correction" core option, you get 100% pixel-perfect scaling. With aspect correction enabled, you get what is sometimes called "near-perfect" scaling.

@quicksilver Box86 is giving great performance for x86 Linux, and I finally got Bochs going (not easy) as well. Bochs is still a bit slow with Win98 and XP, but you CAN install things into the virtual machines and then grab any assets you need from those installs.

@quicksilver Thank you so much!! I'm gonna give this a try now. Looks like alot but I'll try my best and let you know if I got it working

@StigNasty Do you still have that image file? Have you tried to copy it over to a pi 4 and see if performance is better?

@escc1986 yes sorry you should mount c "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/" First, then imgmount the iso to the d drive

@BuZz okidoki

I don't have any issues with Dosbox using the dev branch on a PI4 - did you set any special resolution for it through the Runcommand launch menu ? I just installed it from scratch and it's using the default configuration file installed by the scriptmodule. Same thing with dosbox-sdl2 - it's working just after installed with the default configuration.

@neilclayt RetroPie doesn't support running in a desktop (pixel) session on the Pi. Most likely this is the cause of your dosbox issue. You have to exit the desktop session and start EmulationStation from the console - or just have EmulationStation start up by default and install Pixel separately as a port - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#where-did-the-desktop-go.

@VictimRLSH I tried: EMS=true XMS=true Still didn't work :(
