          @themazingness The dev says he's focusing on PC and PI, so there will probably be a prebuilt binary available on the retroarch website.

            @themazingness Full controller support and CD images from zips... sounds awesome.
            What's that shmup at the end? The soundtrack sounds ripped straight out of Assault on Precinct 13.

                  @zering you mean at 1:56 in the video?

                  If so it's the good old Xenon 2 from The Bitmap Brothers. If you're interested I recommend you go with the Amiga version where the music and gfx are simply much better than the PC/DOS version. It's one of the first game to rely on sampled music which is from Bomb the Bass "Megablast (Hip Hop on Precinct 13)". More info on Wikipedia.

                    @nemo93 Yup, that's the one.
                    That's interesting, I did not know that. I knew I could hear Carpenter's score in there!
                    I may have to give it a spin on the Amiga, I've had it a while and keep trying to delve into the Amiga's library but find it pretty overwhelming.

                      @nemo93 The CDTV version is good. Sound FX + CD audio and speech for the shop part.

                                @hooperre Cool! Have you been able to install it and have a try?

                                Edit: Okay I got it working and am playing Champion Manager 2, I had to install GCC with G++, then in the makefile from the dosbox pure github I changed the line CXX := g++ (https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/khmubg/dosbox_pure_out_now_for_public_testing/ggndjer/)

                                From there I compiled it, put the core in a folder for retroarch to test it and it works. The only dos games I have are CM2 and Fallout though.

                                But yeah, as a quick test around this does work and the mouse is way easier to setup than standalone dosbox

                                    I hope we get a Retropie release soon!

                                    (I'm a bit afraid of compiling it myself and messing with Retropie's own configuration)

                                      Hey, how did you do it at the end? Did you finally compile it from source? When using the precompiled binary for arm7, it complains that `GLIBC_2.29' is not found.

                                        @xwons yup I was getting that error too with the arm7 released version on GitHub, you have to compile it yourself then it'll work.

                                        When you first try and compile though it'll complain it can't find GCC so you'll need to install that beforehand.

                                          @retropieuser555 Thanks! I compiled it, and it didn't even ask for any dependencies. It just took a few minutes, and then I used the dosbox_pure_libretro.so file it generated. Seems to work fine (although results vary depending on the game).

                                          If anyone is interested in step-by-step instructions on how to configure it for an existing retropie installation, I don't mind sharing.
