Soundtrackgeek Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 @eXo Well that sounds brilliant. My mind boggles. This sounds waaay better than the VB idea of mine. I'll cryofreeze myself right now and set the wake up timer for your 80th birthday and the release of the magnificent Win9x collection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Just to update you guys, @eXo is currently waiting on me to implement some stuff so he can officially move everything to LaunchBox. I am going to prioritize that stuff very soon. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuroDragon Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) I am a Noob here but want to express my thanks for all the hard work @Jason Carr @eXo @donarumo have done. I have been emulating since I wee kid in the 90s but it was Launch Box, retroarch and the Exodos that pushed over the edge to put a proper collection together and buy a raid box. Its really easy and fun now to browse your favorites and discover gems you missed. Edited January 20, 2017 by GuroDragon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakystreak Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 While we wait for this awesome feature to be built into the excellent Launchbox, can anyone who has managed to integrate a game from the ExoDOS collection into Launchbox 7.5 give me a heads up and maybe an idea of how to manually install some of the games? Can you install a game from eXo's fine collection straight into Launchbox using the default import wizard/method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some games want to be pointed towards the conf file, and the basic importer isn't built to handle the eXoDOS collection specifically, but as a quick workaround the games do work. Some games I point towards the custom conf file provided in the collection, and sometimes the exe and bat that's selected doesn't always work, you may need to change it to another one. You might also meed to run a games set up / config exe / bat's from time to time, as they might need to be initialized. The last 2 things (changing exe's and running setups) is something you'd need to do from time to time when importing already installed DOS games anyways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakystreak Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Thanks Brad for the speedy reply and info. It seems to be a bit messy to get working but I guess it's the hoops you have to go through to get it working in Launchbox for the time being.

The only reason the eXoDOS collection is much easier in comparison, is because eXo did all the hard work for everyone. When finding DOS games online randomly, or when installing them from media that you may have, there is a little bit more work than just turning it on, but again, that's more of an extension of DOS it's self. LaunchBox tries to go a long way to help, making configuring easier, but it's still not too simple in the long run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakystreak Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 eXo has certainly done sterling work with the collection as have you, the Launchbox team. Really looking forward to the ExoDOS integration. Oh the joys and tribulations of being a gamer eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakystreak Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Had a try at setting up Launchbox with a couple of the ExoDOS games and I managed to get a couple to indeed work... Just used Install DOS games - game is already installed in a folder option, however, when I did the same for Full Throttle it did indeed complete the setup in Launchbox but when I went to play it it asked for the CD. Any ideas on getting past this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas on getting past this? If I understand the issue you are having, the "CD" is included in the eXodos game folder. You need to edit the conf file being used to load the CD as a drive letter in DOSBox. The conf file in the eXodos Full Throttle folder should have the right text at the bottom of the file. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 You also don't need to run the DOS installer, just the DOS importer, that way the entire folder can be imported really fast. @donarumo got you on the right track though, the conf files will hold special parameters and instructions for certain games, so if you're having issues with them, double check for a conf file and see if you need to edit it a bit. For the most part though, I think they're using relative paths? I haven't dug too deep in to it though, and if it is, you shouldn't need to add a drive letter as that would break portability.

nikeymikey Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Any news on when the exoDos compatibility features will be added?? I now have a fully working exoDos meagre setup and can't wait to add it to my LB and beautify the collection ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 @Patham would you be so kind and help this user on how you set up 3xO? I know it's more complicated than DOS, but I haven't done it myself. Anything you could offer would be awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
