EDIT: Looks like we're only running zdoom 2.6, and most total conversion wads seem to require version 4 or higher.This is a guide is intended to show you how to seamlessly setup and integrate DOSBos into your RetroPie or EmulationStation setup to run those old school DOS games you remember from your childhood in the ’80s or 90’s. I haven't been able to get total conversion wads like Adventures of Square or Hocus Doom working yet, but I'll keep looking into it. I'm a novice at shell and batch and didn't have time to troubleshoot a bunch of string manipulation, so I stuck with what seemed to work, which was to hard-code a bunch of command line sets and switched them based off of the presence of an temporary empty text file (similar to how the current system uses znet.txt and zip.txt).Ĭan confirm that brutal doom is working, with the command line "-iwad doom2.wad warp 1 1 -file brutal19.pk3". bat (located at mydata.tgz/home/tc/.dosbox/dbutils) and zdoom.sh (located at mydata.tgz/home/tc/.local/bin) to pass the first argument in as the actual zdoom arguments you want to run. The first arg is a boolean for hosting/joining net play, and the second is the IP address to connect to. It turns out that typing "zdoom" in DBD calls a batch file which has its own command line arguments.
#SETTING UP DOSBOX RASPBERRY PI UPDATE#
Just an update on my zdoom issues- I managed to get command lines working. Never got into the other two games but I'll give them a shot. The Chex Quest 2 one is odd because I thought I've tested with Doom (non-zdoom, just to see how performance was) and dont remember any sound/music missing.
#SETTING UP DOSBOX RASPBERRY PI MOD#
I think I only tested the officially support zDoom mods, I'll have to do some other testing but its going to get complicated when a mod requires another wad to work, since I'm only distributing shareware or freeware with DosBox distro. I'll look at some the bugs you mentioned. I havent touched DosBox Distro in a little while now, but I've been stock piling compatible thin clients and hope to do some updating soon.

If I change the midi mpu401 config to "none", RR2 uses sound blaster instead and works as intended. It seems it was trying to use MIDI sound, but MIDI wasn't working for some reason.
#SETTING UP DOSBOX RASPBERRY PI PC#
By messing with the configs it looks like RR2 uses MIDI sound, but dosbox distro's MIDI configs are identical to my PC dosbox so I'm not sure why there's still no sound.ĮDIT 2: I managed to fix the Reader Rabbit 2 issue. I downloaded 0.74 for my PC and the sound in Reader Rabbit 2 still works there though. "sblaster type" was updated to "sblaster sbtype" by 0.74). I am also missing background music in a few games where the sound is working (chex quest 2 (running without zdoom), powerslave, Elder Scrolls: Arena).ĮDIT: Looking into it a bit more, it turns out I was using dosbox 0.63 on my PC, which is why the configs weren't behaving the same (e.g.
I don't know if this is related to the sound problems or not. Even after I set it to sb16, it doesn't exist when I try to get it. The strange thing is that when I type config -get "sblaster type" it says that the type configuration doesn't exist. I tried to compare the sblaster configs to see if that was the issue. There's no setup.exe or configuration beyond the in-game sound settings as far as I can tell. Reader Rabbit 2 has no sound or music, but it works fine on my normal desktop dosbox install.
I'm having sound issues with a few games. Next time I have some spare time I might start poking around in zdoom.tcz but I don't have any experience with tinycore linux so I don't know if I'll get far.
pk3 files if possible (for brutal doom, hocusdoom, adventures of square), and they don't show up in the current menu. bat menu), but it seems like command line arguments like -iwad and -file don't work here. I want to be able to bypass the WAD menu for zdoom and launch directly into a specific WAD (because eventually I'll be running everything from my own. Thanks so much for this! It's perfect for a project I've been wanting to do for a while.
