spike32 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hi, I seem to have an issue with launching ExoDOS games with Bigbox only. When I go to load any game, it comes up fine, but then it will open "cmd.exe" for absolutely no reason. And it does so in full screen and on top of the dosbox window. I can alt+tab to the game, but I'm playing on an arcade machine so it's really annoying. This doesn't happen when I launch it through meagre or launchbox. Thanks.

Wantopropo Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 My comment is unhelpful TL:DR I could not reproduce the issue. Just to help rule out possibilities here is what I did in order to attempt to reproduce your issue: I've never played a DOS game in Bigbox. I installed a game using the exodos bat scripts that get loaded when you click a DOS game for the first time and played it with dos in fullscreen and then closed it. I then opened bigbox and selected to play that same game and did not experience any issues. Possible solution to test- Open game properties go to Startup/Pause tab, ExoDOS set the default as disabled "enable game startup screen". You might try enabling game startup screen and turning on one or both of the hide window settings. That said those may be a reason exodos automatically disabled that setting. Good luck.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot later on and see how that goes. Curious did you use bigbox provided by exodos or did you import the game into your own launchbox config?

spike32 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Doesn't seem to work. Thanks though. Anyone else have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
