Can we expect an lr-package for dosbox some day?

Thank goodness for bulk rename and notepad++. Saved me a lot of time changing 195 .sh files to working .conf files.

@dudleydes any chance you could post your dosbox-SVN.conf and your mapper-SVN.map? I cant figure out why it doesnt recognize me having any controllers in lr-dosbox. Did you setup dosbox or lr-dosbox first? Thank you for your help.

@dudleydes so i got the controls figured out. i could not get the checkerboard retroarch gui to save settings for controls. i accidently deleted the retroarch.cfg for dosbox and it created a new one with a whole mess of stuff. this also gave me an entirely new retroarch gui that works awesome. how can i make all my systems use this gui?

i can get it working by manually deleting all the retroarch.cfg files i guess

Doing that will mess up a lot of important configuration beyond the menu appearance - really not recommended. Remove the retroarch.cfg, reinstall retroarch and then manually set the menu driver to xmb if you want the above menu style.

Nm i figured it out. Deleted

Um, so i just installed lr-dosbox but i can't select it from the runcommand screen. So if i start a game it won't go further than the runcommand screen until i also install dosbox itself.
How do i switch to lr-dosbox?

@dudleydes Does that mean you have duplicate entries for each game in ES? I guess with the new hidden feature I can just hide the .sh files or change the es_systems.cfg if I want to switch over fully.

@hooperre I just have a .conf file for games in lr-dosbox, no .sh files. With the recent changes to the +Start DOSBox.sh script, it is now possible to use these .conf files to launch games in the standalone version of DOSBox.

@dudleydes Oh okay. Do the .conf files need to be empty outside of [autoexec]?

You can override any default dosbox options in the .conf file. So, for example, here's a way to set up a custom scaler just for Quake, in Quake.conf:

[render]
scaler=tv2x

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.

MOUNT c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc
C:
CD GAMES/QUAKE_SW/
QUAKE.EXE
EXIT

Just don't forget specify the correct config section in brackets (like [autoexec] or [render]) that the options belong to.

@psyke83 Okay. I have a bunch of working .conf files that are opened with my .sh files currently. I assume if I launch those from lr-dosbox that they should work.

lines. You put them before all the mount stuff. I have have several games i change their speed with cycles= and stuff like that this way.

edmaul69

@psyke83 an example of how i have my individual game conf files

[autoexec]
cycles=150
mount c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc
c:
cd/cstlewlf
CE.EXE
exit
