readelf -d dosbox_core_libretro.so | grep NEEDED

Nice, that is actually good info. Apart from asound and libc which are preinstalled, there isn't anything else. Also performance-wise, with some cycle-tuning, even duke nukem runs fine.

Great work, man! Given the convenience of retraoarch, I'll definitely use this instead of vanilla dosbox from now on.

I might clean the script up in the next days and put it on github in case anybody else wants to run it on RPi (unfortunately I only have armv7/v8 devices so I won't be able to test for older versions of the Pi)

If you want to enable BASSMIDI support, the ARM versions are posted here:

You need the "hardhf" builds of libbass.so and libbassmidi.so. They need to be placed in the libretro system directory, which is where the core looks for them.

I made an ARM64 build of dosbox-core:

https://github.com/realnc/dosbox-core/releases/tag/latest_build_linux_arm

I don't actually know if it runs, since I don't have an ARM machine. In theory, it should run fine on RPi 4 since it's built on arm64v8 Ubuntu 16.04.
