HELP! Game crashes in DosBox

Maalik_

So I am currently trying to get Pro Pinball - Timeshock! to work with this links help(https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4783/howto-pro-pinball-timeshock-in-dosbox-on-rpi3/9). But, when I run the sh file using the script written by BobHarris in the comments(The original didn't quite work out for me) the game comes up although it looks weirdly green (No idea if this is also a problem or how the game looks) I press enter at the title screen and it turns black and says its loading and the percent goes up until it reaches 80 something and then it crashes back to es. Please help as I love pinball and want to get this to work on my RetroPie (I'm using a Pi3 B if anybody needed to know that to solve the problem).

@maalik_ ok first thing to know is caps and lowercase are important with the dos files and folders when doing a .sh file. so if my file shows caps and your file is lowercase change it in the .sh file. i might have the .cue/.iso, folder and executable file different than yours. change them to match yours. my cue is called "Timeshock!.cue". my folder is called"pptime". my executable is called "PINBALL.EXE"

#!/bin/bash 
/opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin/dosbox -c "imgmount d /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/pptime/Timeshock!.cue -t iso" -c "mount c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc" -c "c:" -c "cd/pptime" -c "PINBALL.EXE" -c "exit"

next you need to change settings in /opt/retropie/configs/pc/dosbox-SVN.conf to make it fast enough. change these settings to what i post here. one of the mems needs to be added as it doesnt exist in the file.

language=
machine=svga_s3
captures=capture
vmemsize=8
memsize=63

core=dynamic
cputype=pentium_slow
cycles=max 105%

cycledown=20

@edmaul69 I don't think it's the sh file because the game starts up fine, it's just when I press enter after a minute it crashes. I'll try changing the dosbox-svn.conf I'll let you know what happens.

@maalik_ I put that in and made sure the graphics settings were right since they were not before, but nothings happened, still weird coloured and crashes. http://imgur.com/a/8272g

@maalik_ you arent using the game from gog.com or steam are you? I would go googling for a download of it. I know the gog.com or steam one has issues.

Maalik_

@edmaul69 I am using the one from gog, should I google it or is there a better pinball game you would recommend?

edmaul69

@maalik_ yes. The google download versions should work fine. You might have to run the disk to install the files that go on the "hard drive".

@edmaul69 Hey do you know how to put "Epic Pinball" on Dosbox? If so could you please help me out?

edmaul69

@maalik_ give me a few to install it.

Maalik_

@edmaul69 Ok, thanks man

@maalik_ I'm trying to download Oregon Trail, The Mist, Zork, and Epic Pinball. I'm just not sure were to start with each of them, are they all the same to install?

edmaul69

@maalik_ they are not the same. Epic pinball uses a cd. Oregon trail does not. Their .sh files will be different.

Maalik_

@edmaul69 I need a cd for Epic Pinball? Not just the files? Also do you have discord so we could text faster? Also, sorry if my questions sound dumb, I am very new to dosbox.

edmaul69

@maalik_ you dont need the cd. But there is a cd image file that you make dosbox see as the cd. Oregon trail was on a floppy so it wont have an image file. I just set it up. No clue how to use it. My username is the same.

edmaul69

@maalik_ also you said the mist. Is myst what you are looking for?

herb_fargus

@edmaul69 myst works on scummvm

edmaul69

@herb_fargus works in windows 3.11 on dosbox as well. Im just not sure if he meant to say myst or the mist. I use my actual disc in a dvd drive on the pi.

Maalik_

@edmaul69 Ok I believe its Myst, sorry for the confusion. Also, to add you on discord I need your four digit tag, should be in the bottom left under your name on the desktop version.

Maalik_

@edmaul69 So could I get your discord tag?

@maalik_ 3019. I dont have good reception on my phone where i am at, at the moment
