    You, sir, made my life that much better. I also chose Warcraft and did the Lost Vikings. I think we grew up in the best era of games. Dos was and is still so much fun!

    if you set up the DosBox 'machine' as strictly a Tandy 1000, it will run that era of games effortlessly. great for stuff from Sierra and the like!

    Btw, you can configure Quake I for full mouse look, including a crosshair. -- It ends up being the "+" symbol, but you can replace the glyph it uses for the + symbol to be a thin dotted crosshair -- makes Quake I super playable. (Btw, isn't there a native port of Quake to the RPI that uses hardware acceleration?) -- Also there are all kinds of mods for it (capture the flag with bots, etc.) -- Same goes for Doom I and Doom II (capture the flag with bots, etc. -- and there are mods that make mouselook work great).

    Quick, and may be very stupid, question here. Is there a way to tell Emulation Station to use another combination of keys to get out of a game? I have a Pi Zero setup as a Sega console emulator and the Genesis controller doesn't have a "Select' button. So I can't press 'Start + Select" to get out of a game. I always have to have a keyboard plugged in.
    Thanks for all the great videos.

    Hey ETA hope all is well with your wife man. It's good to see you making tutorials again. I recently installed Dreamcast on my Pi 3 but I can't get past the part where it asks you to program the date & time, I can't figure out how to set up my controller either. Is there any way you can make a tutorial for this whenever you get a chance?

    I would like to add the game Magic Pockets to an image I already have up and running. The problem is that it needs to be installed. The two games you did in your video here didn't need to be installed. What do we do in that case? Do you know? I'd hate to mess up an image by running install in ES - or is that how you do it?

  • @rwprime1

      If retropie mounts the parent dir of the EXE file and the EXE file is in a sub dir and NOT the dosbox dir at ~/RetroPie/roms/dosbox you should be able to run the installer with no issues I would think

    Got Warcraft working fine, excited about some old dos game possiblities. Ran into a issue though, War Craft 2 opens and demands the old cd which you can't give it on Retropie ...is there a work around to get WC2 Tides of Darkness running?

    • @sos.gamers
      @sos.gamers 6 років тому +1

      You has to mount the image from warcraft 2.bin: imgmount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/war2cd/Warcraft 2.bin" -t iso -fs iso then tipe cd D:\ and DIR so you can find the "install" file, execute the install file, when is finished, make a .bat file with this lines:
      imgmount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/war2cd/Warcraft 2.bin" -t iso -fs iso
      cd \war2
      war2
      And that is all now you can play the campaing without asking for a CD, you only need to execute the .bat file that you creat to launch the game ;)

    [EDIT] Please disregard. I ended up creating a batch file to autorun the commands and mount the ISO image. Thank you for your videos.

    So I'm having a helluva time trying to get Blood and Marathon to run on RetroPie.
    I can get them to launch but the frame rate is just.. abysmal.
    Blood I'm trying to run through through the Dosbox emulator and Marathon is that weird Aleph One thing that you can install via the RetroPie packages setup.
    I got a Raspberry Pi 3B, I'm hoping to upgrade to a Raspberry Pi 4 here soon and use that for my retro console.
    Any tips?
