I did not find the files but i was able to access the mapper and figure it out and get it working thanks. It was on retropie i installed the optional package and didnt see the files. Thanks though

@RetroNerdman You're welcome. I only have experience with the Neo Geo GOG installers, so my advice is just fishing in muddy waters. 😉

@SpudsMcToole I've been using ChampGames' arcade clones to test this, so as a small token of gratitude here are the mockup game boxes I've made for them :)

I though I had alleviated the issue but, it is seems that it persists. Leaving the following. The files were corrupted by either dosbox-sdl2 or by the settings and game Albion. The threats and viruses detected by Windows 10 were likely just corrupted files. Possibly the raspberry has been compromised. I always feel a special sort of dumbness when I realize I have imaginary enemies, and new technology.

@bkumanchik Got it working, ALT+J to configure joystick!

solved the problem was on a corrupt file: INDY.RLE I had a file with CRC32 1dea93b3, while the correct one is f6fd2362

Through trial and error, I figured out how to solve the problem. Assuming it was a permissions problem, I first reset all the permissions to the ones all files had at the beginning. As expected, my conf file did not run. I then copied the default dosbox configuration file from ~/.dosbox/dosbox-SVN.conf and edited that with my custom setup. Now everything works fine, though I never did figure out which permissions were broken. Thanks anyway!

Guys, I will try different confs to see if even PoP will work. In the meanwhile you discovered to me a whole world of possibilities! Thanks again all for your help! Mic

@quicksilver the mixer prebuffer setting in milliseconds if increased to a significant amount will leave a noticeable delay in audio but will sometimes allow for higher cycle rates without losing audio quality(without the audio skipping). It is an interesting tradeoff and it wont rightly work for all games. Most of which I would prefer the 25ms default which is quite minimal.

This is how the folder is setup

@Efriim said in DOSBox Emulator Not Showing Up: I guess it is possible that I edited the es_systems.cfg, it was really early on, if the main config has been edited, will it not be updated anymore when installing a new system? https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#es_systemscfg-edits

I tried both values for the usescancodes and both failed. However, i was able to finally make it work by setting the Keyboard type to us instead of auto. I dont know why this would break based on if it is run from inside ES vs command line. My locale is set right.

@backstander Never has purple been so perfectly personified.

@BJRetro no it ran very poorly on my overclocked pi 3b+ last time I tried it. Maybe some older 2d only games might be ok but the few games I tested were very choppy.

There are also a couple GBA titles to check out.

I was able to follow Dudleydes instructions above and that worked, but I do not know how to get this patch to my retropie. I tried to update "dosbox from source" but that did not work. The PR already been merged, so update your Retropie-Setup script and then update dosbox to get the patched version. Have you tried dosbox-sdl2? It might have better joystick handling. I forgot about this because I updated and I can verify that it works. We are not using dosbox-sdl2 in our keyboard 2 joypad project since its not needed. The keyb2joy.pad project document and index keys assigned to functions. We basically fill in columns with the keys used for things like "jump", "move" or "fire". I have then made an utility that produce authentic DOSBox .map files with full Retropie-support based on these profiles. So far we made 550 platform games fully playable on joypad and we are 20% through the 600 shoot-em ups on the DOS platform.

@Efriim Batocera is very similar to Recalbox, since it was started by a former Recalbox team member - so I'd expect them to be very close.

@clockwork42 you are correct if the game originally supported joystick control then your analog stick on your controller will work fine.
