Hey Guys!

i have been testing launchbox for the first time now and all seems to go well until am importing MS-DOS and the import works well but when i want to launch games with "Retroarch inside launchbox"

PS. DOS games launching with Dosbox but i was think it would be nice to use retroarch becouse it do have pretty mutch every emulator in it.

 

Pls give a hint if am stupid just over thinking it.

 

Kind Regards // Marc

I have been using dos box-pure and loving it in retroarch only catch is you have to download and install core manually.

 

Have a look

 

https://github.com/schellingb/dosbox-pure

From the github

Locate the directory where your libretro frontend stores its cores.
In RetroArch, you can open the main menu and go to Configuration File -> Load Configuration -> Parent Directory -> cores to find it.
The release ZIP contains 2 files, dosbox_pure_libretro.dll (or .so for Linux) and dosbox_pure_libretro.info.
The .dll or .so file is to be extracted into the cores directory. The .info file goes into the info directory or into cores if it doesn't exist.

 

Just make sure to associate the dosbox pure core with retroarch. (Note its still a beta but so far so good in my testing)

Note you can import the zips as roms I just called mine MS-DOS as the platform name.

 

-Hope that helps
