Help with DOSBOX gamelist.xml
-
I have been able to get the gamelist.xml to work correctly for gbc, ps1, and snes games. I have run into a strange problem with DOSBOX.
Has anyone been able to get the gameslist.xml to work correctly for DosBox?
Instead of the setting the "<path></patht>" tag to the executable, for DosBox I think it makes more sense to set it to the folder path of the game.
However, I seem to be getting strange results when I do this? I'm not sure if this is a bug. Does any one have any suggestions for creating themes or collected boxart for DosBox and displaying information such as developer, publisher, or genre?

I've had pretty good luck using Emulation Station to scrape the games and folders. Below is a working example for the original 'Duke Nukem' that illustrates both.
<folder> <path>./duke</path> <name>Duke Nukem</name> <desc>Set in the year 1997, your mission is to stop Dr. Proton, a madman bent on ruling the world with his army of Techbots. As the irrepressible hero Duke Nukem, you'll chase Dr. Proton deep into the Earth, then to his lunar space station, and eventually into the Earth's nuclear ravished future.</desc> <image>/home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/pc/duke-image.jpg</image> </folder> <game> <path>./duke/DUKE1.BAT</path> <name>DUKE1</name> <playcount>1</playcount> <lastplayed>20160429T003736</lastplayed> </game>
