        Please try that. It will tell you if that game is even supported by dosbox.

        Next you can try running it on Pi3 if you have one. So graphics cpu and ram bottlenecks can be ruled out

          @ethany117 you need to install it on your pc. Then take the arena folder from c:\ put it on the pi and then run ARENA.BAT in dosbox

                @ethany117 you have to install it on a pc to get the arena folder. The file is zipped and inside that is an executable zip file. You need it to execute it on a pc to get the arena folder that goes on the pi.

                    @ethany117 ok if that works, you need to mount the c: drive. In dosbox first type:

                    mount c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc 
                    

                    If that is already done, at the point you are at type arena. Then the ARENA.BAT should be in the arena folder

                        @ethany117 arena.bat did not do that for me. It booted right into the game. Are you sure you arent typing install or something else and not arena? You dont have to install as it has already been setup.
