To install it, open up a command shell inside RetroPie (I used SSH for this) and execute the following commands: cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/. sudo ./retropie_setup.sh. This will open the RetroPie-Setup script. Once there, navigate to "Manage Packages", then "Manage Optional Packages", then scroll down to "dosbox" and choose to

After you have all the games you would like to add, and the associated collection archive, extract them all into the same folder. You should now have a folder for each game, and a !DOS folder. Copy the game folders from your PC to your retro pie in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc (do not copy !DOS folder) Move import-eXoDOS.sh to roms directory

4. Now let's move onto configuration. First, make a directory where our games will be stored. ~ refers to our home directory, and this directory is /home/pi. mkdir ~/dos-games Copy. 5. The config file for DOSBox will not be created until the first run, to run it simply enter DOSBox into the terminal.

First, open the Raspberry Pi Web Browser on your device, go to dosgamesarchive.com and search for 'Doom' in the search bar. Then download the zip file formatted for MS-DOS. Now, on your Raspberry Pi screen, go to the 'File Manager.'. Look for the file named as 'Doom19s.zip' (my current version) in the download section.

To play a game, open the unzipped game file and look for the game's executable .exe file. The exact file will vary between games. for example, the Apollo 18 game this file was "apollo.exe.". Right-click the ".exe" file and select "Open With …. In the subsequent window, select "Games -> DOSBox Emulator.".

PC games don't have "ROMs" per se, instead you have executables and game content, typically separate files. You can use Dosbox to run DOS games, but for games where the source is open you're better off looking for a native port. Doom and Quake games have been a popular choice for open source development.

The scripts come with a separate version of the DOSBox-configuration file "dosbox.conf", if you want to replace this with the stock configuration supplied with RetroPie then just copy that from ~/.dosbox/dosbox-SVN.conf - make sure to keep the two mount statements in autoexec-section of the supplied configuration (file still need to be kept in the same place and with the same name though).

You can either launch the game from within DOSBox -> DOSBox should have mounted the roms/pc folder as "C:" automatically, so you only need to type "cd <name of the folder>" and look for the respective .exe to run the game. Another (more elegant) way would be, to write a short startup script (.sh) for each game and put it in the roms/pc folder.

I'm not after a tutorial or anything, I can google just fine, I'm just curious if anyone has an opinion on the best option to actually run DOS games. Rasberry Pi OS + FreeDOS? DOSBox? Retropie + DOSBox? The internet tells me how to set things up but not what the best option is. Okay, that's about it. Thanks!

DOSBOX is a DOS emulator that let you run DOS based games and programs on your Raspberry Pi. To install DOSBOX open a terminal window and enter the following commands: sudo apt-get install dosbox. If it asks for your password to install the package use the default password: raspberry. Next we must configure DOSBOX.

Remember to check the RetroPie wiki on how DOSBOX (and DOS based games) are handled since naming, configs, etc. are all much different than most other "consoles". For example, my DosBox "games" (in the "pc" roms directory) are script (.sh) files which load my joypad mapper (joymap) then call on DOSBOX with a custom configuration for my game.

To have a comparison I've installed Dosbian as a reference and the game is running smoothly with >60fps. So it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue. Other games run okayish (e.G. Doom) but subjectevly never perfect and I got sound stuttering in almost every game from time to time. I've tried DosBox-staging and different configs with all kinds of

while in dosbox you can also type at the dos prompt, or in a .BAT batch file. cycles=500. to get the almost lowest (xt 4 mhz) speed possible. increment this with 500 every time to get the correct speed. try to underclock your cpu in bios. 14 votes, 22 comments. 154K subscribers in the RetroPie community.

@shavecat with dosbox you can run games for windows 3.1 I managed to emulate games like: Alien force (1990) Battle Beast (1995) Freecell (1995) Skifree (1991) Zombie Wars (1996) Etc ... I managed to make Space Cadet work too ... but it works rather badly on a Raspberry pi 3B (not plus)
