      I wanted to play some of my favourite DOS games on my Pi3 and everything works great, except Prehistorik 2. Everything is working when I run it on my PC with DOSBox 0.74, but when I run it in RetroPie, the caveman keeps moving forward. I tried restarting the game, it did not help. Any ideas?

        I overlooked a clue in https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/PC:

        "In some games your joystick/controller may be permanently fixed in one corner. For these games, edit dosbox-SVN.conf, find the [Joystick] section and set timed to false as below:

        timed=false"

        Now it works
