      @shavecat Remove the exit at the end of the autoexec section so you can see the actual error.
      And please, try to use text when posting instead of images - it makes it impossible to copy/paste configurations. If you're using Putty, it's enough to select the lines you want copied and they're automatically copied to the clipboard.

          memsize=32 does go in the dosbox.conf, sorry to confuse them. They look similar, I don't type very well.

            It is really slow too so don't be too disappointed. It is a great game though, you should play it on your computer.

                64 would work, I can't say what isn't working. Usually if it closes after loading. Is it going back to dos? Are you seeing a fallout splashscreen?

                Are you using the Fallout.exe with DOS32A patched, or the regular one from patch 1.2 or 1.1 with DOS4GW? Either would work, but I patched the other one with dos32a myself, so maybe it is just weird.

                        Yeah lr-dosbox loads configuration a little differently, like the cycles will be at default 1000, and I don't ever use it to understand it.

                        Well heres my autoexec from Fallout.conf, it's nothing special, and it obviously isn't finalized.

                        [autoexec]
                        # Lines in this section will be run at startup.
                        # You can put your MOUNT lines here.
                        @echo off
                        mount c "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc"
                        #mount c "/home/pi/RetroPie/memorycard/dos"
                        #set PATH=%PATH%;C:\bin;C:\setedit\bin;C:\bin\HXRT\BIN
                        c:
                        cd Fallout
