            Some ameliorations may be possible in cfg,
            to try :
            windowresolution=1024x768
            output=opengl
            more memory :
            memsize=63
            to try also, even with risk of deformations, game dependent :
            aspect=false
            I found better graphics and speed with the following :
            scaler=none
            Also important for speed :
            core=dynamic
            cycles=auto
            what can resolve a sound problem :
            sbmixer=false
            for keyboard some layouts

            • german :
              keyboardlayout=de129
            • french :
              keyboardlayout=fr120 (fr189)
            • english :
              keyboardlayout=us103

              @dragu I thought all my games where using dynamic core but I guess not

                Cheers, I thought it was unusual because it runs perfectly on Retropie, I can post the settings if it helps.

                  In general Recalbox is more speed as Retropie, so games are different and for this I told you to try. 🙂

                    Please excuse my inexperience, the boot file from Retrope reads as follows;-

                    /opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin/dosbox
                    -c "@mount c $HOME/RetroPie/roms/pc/pptime"
                    -c "@imgmount d $HOME/RetroPie/roms/pc/pptime/pptime.cue -t iso"
                    -c "@c:"
                    -c "@pinball"

                    for the dosbox.bat in Recalbox, does this translate to;-

                    imgmount d .\cd\pptime/pptime.cue -t iso
                    😄
                    @cd pptime
                    @cls
                    @pinball

                    as for some reason im struggling to even run the program now!

                      @roman126 I gave you my dosbox.bat file, start from that and adapt it to your paths

                        In general when I have something to mount, I make it in dosbox.cfg
                        and with the direct path :

                        [autoexec]
                        # Lines in this section will be run at startup.
                        # You can put your MOUNT lines here.
                        imgmount d "/recalbox/share/roms/dos/pptime.pc/pptime.cue" -t iso

                          Well you have to have the right path, what you wrote is nonsense. Your game should be in a pptime.pc folder I suppose, and then you must have the right path to everythign you use.
                          You can use the pause command to debug your dosbox.bat file

                            well sadly this doesn't change anything, the game is working the same, passing sbmixer from true to false just adds musics which weren't playing before, but the sound is still awfull/laging

                              Therefore I wrote "may be"
                              Some games will never play in full speed on Raspberry, so I cannot understand for what reason it should run better on Retropie, based on Debian ? Perhaps an older Dosbox version ?

                                    @roman126 I've running Pro Pinball Timeshock under dosbox (recalbox) on my overclocked RPi3, but also not really playable.

                                    Sound is ok in my case, also the background CD tracks plays quite well. The issue I have is, that the game in general runs to slow. It seems the (emulation) speed from an RPi3 is too slow for such a late dosgame as Timeshock is.
                                    In my case, I have 10-15 fps max. I tried to optimize a lot in settings, but I don't get it really smooth.

                                    As from my experience, the last generation of triple A dosgames from 1994 onwards (especially 3D games) are too advanced for the RPi3.

                                    As you already said above, it's also not possible to run the PSX version of Timeshock. I got it working on Retropie, but what I remember, they offer a second emulator core for PSX, with which it has worked.
                                    But as the recalbox team is doing such a good job in general and also with the fast update intervals, maybe a further update will bring us on Recalboxos also a second (for ARM) or updated emulator core for the PSX, which covers the incompatible games.

                                        @Jimboy00 @roman126 There is a speed regression for the last versions of DosBox (under Recalbox), it should be resolved in next version.
