Dosbox.conf help

Postby Amisa » Mon Jul 30, 2018 12:08 pm

Sorry having trouble getting dosbox.conf setup properly for dos games. Can I ask a noob favour, someone let me know exactly what to type in, please? Plus where I need to put the file?

Game in question is championship manager
Using retrox on shield tv.

I have got the game folder in my dos folder.

I can see a dosbox.conf file in my shield tv main directory, not in my retrox folder. Do I edit that file?

All help is much appreciated

Kind regards

Hi,

Just here, I will let DOS games experts answer to you with more details, but have you already read the MS-DOS part available on the site here :
http://www.retrox.tv/games

There are some details that maybe could help you for the dosbox.conf setup.

Regards.

Do you see this game displayed into DOS system on Retrox ?

In addition, it seems that this game is not part of the MS-DOS supported games list (http://www.retrox.tv/dos-games/), but I don't know if it is a problem or not for Retrox to launch it however.

Could you please detail your actual relative directory tree into retrox folder and the list of files into your game folder ?

Sorry been on holiday,

I have managed to get game to show in retrox folder.

It is located in /internalstorage/retrox/dos/championship manager

When trying to play game, 2 files show manager.bat and Europe.exe

Manager.bat produces a blank screen but you can hear music playing

Europe.exe produces a blank screen

On both occasions you can't do anything else but close retrox app

I have tried on my Samsung s9 and Nvidia shield but both give same result.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The DOS emulator broke with Android Oreo, which is what the Shield is using right now.
May be the other device is using Oreo as well?

If that is the case, it's not a problem with your setup, it's something that I must fix
