DOS in recalbox 4.1 doesn't work, is there a log to see the error?

[Jesús BL]

I'm trying to run DOS games in the new recalbox 4.1 (unstable-build-45) in my raspberry pi 2, but they doesn't start and I return to the main screen.
I see in the Boad Compatibility that it may be run, but I search a log to see where the error is without success.
I see all the log files in /recalbox/share/system/logs, are there more paths?

@Jesús-BL have you read the embedded readme file in the roms dir ?

[Jesús BL]

@Substring Yes, I change the dir and I include .pc at the end of the name.
Also I add dosbox.bat files with the name of the file to execute.

I try with some champ games and mach3

I am also having this exact problem. The dos box logo does display small in the top left corner of the screen before exiting back to emulation station. I've tried this with 10 plus games from different sites.

before play game you need may be to install it
you need to add install.exe or setup.exe in your dosbox.bat

@Jesús-BL You have to call the file "dosbox.bat" with small letters, not DOSBOX.BAT.

In "dosbox.bat", you must put:

cd
xxx.exe

xxx being the name of your executable back

[simba51]

In "dosbox.bat", you must put:

cd
xxx.exe

xxx being the name of your executable back

I made the changes to the .bat file.
cd
Install.exe
blood.exe
It still responds the same. I tried it on solar winds which just has a solar.exe and no install.exe and it behaves the same. Thanks for everyone's help. Do I need to have more in the bat file? Other sites talk of mounting drives. I don't know if that applies to recalbox. Could it be a resolution problem? I've seen similar behaviour when my n64 and dreamcast emulator weren't set to the proper resolution. Also when I didn't have the correct bios but as far as I know dosbox doesn't have a bios. My msx did something similar before I got the proper data files. Thanks

I download Solar Winds version dos.

You need to create solar-winds.pc folder.
create dosbat.bat with only :

solar2.exe

solar-windows.pc

It's work for me with a keyboard to play game.

I update to a newer version of recalbox 4.1 and now the DOS games runs OK!
