I don’t know if this is related, but I added a functionality to my “+Start DOSBox.sh” script so that it uses a custom “dosbox.conf” config file if it exists in the %ROM% directory, similarly to retroarch’s custom config files. If there’s no custom config file, it just uses the default one (normal behavior).
It works for me because I have my DOS games and apps each in its own subdirectory (mostly). This way I don’t need to create a .sh file for every game/app in order to launch it through Emulationstation, but I need to copy custom config files to the folders I need them customized.
For those who might want it, I am posting the code bellow.
Content of my patched “+Start DOSBox.sh”:
#!/bin/bash
params="$1"
if [[ "$params" =~ "+Start DOSBox.sh" ]]; then
params="-c \"MOUNT C /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc\""
elif [[ "$params" =~ \.sh$ ]]; then
bash "$params"
exit
else
dir=$(dirname "${params}")
configfile="$dir/dosbox.conf"
if [[ -f $configfile ]]; then
params+=" -conf \"$configfile\""
fi
params+=" -exit"
fi
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 "/opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin/dosbox $params" "dosbox"
