@TeknoRaver said in DOSBox-Staging (install from source error when launched):

And you add more swap ram via using the vram method you mentioned before right?

No, that's for telling EmulationStation it can use more VRAM from the allocated GPU memory.

If not, how do you add more swap ram?

You create a swap file (see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-22-04#step-3-creating-a-swap-file ) or modify the default swap file size (see https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=46472).

@LeatherWing said in Pi 5 Dosbox failes to launch. Bookworm 64bit lite:

Assuming I'll need to figure out how to force a rezolution on dosbox-staging and cross my fingers.
If you have any suggestions for the format, I'm happy to hear 'em.

Use the runcommand launch menu and choose a resolution from there. The error looks like it's coming from the TV, indeed. You can take a look at the log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) and see which resolution dobox-staging tries to use.

@mitu I apologize for my lack of knowledge on this one. This must have happened when I loaded and compiled the MESS group of emulators, or when I added the Singe extension to Daphne.

At least now I know what's been causing me all the headaches. I didn't know there would be a difference in the two. The goal was to get as many emus working on my system...but obviously that created a small snafu I wasn't aware of.

So fixing this... I'll go through the RetroPie Setup repository and hopefully get back on track.

Thanks again for your help. Wow... I guess I really need to be more careful when I play around with all these fantastic emulators.

UPDATE: all is working great. I'm on the right repository, DosBox-Staging 77.1 is loaded and all is good. This can be closed.
