      I've made a MOD for Command and Conquer 1 DOS version. It uses a preconfigured Dosbox for Windows, Linux and Armv7. You can also try it in your Browser.
      C&C Retro Website:
      http://divinity.x10.bz/cncretro/
      I tried it with my RPi3+Recalbox and it is very playable without overclocking. IPX Multiplayer Networking is also working. 🙂 I've tested it with my main Linux PC (Lubuntu 18.04) and RPi3. (crossplay should work with Windows, Linux and RPi)

      I made a Recalbox "CNCRetro_r03.pc" folder. Unzip "CNCRetro_r03_Recalbox.zip" to your "roms/dos" folder.
      C&C Retro r03 Recalbox download:
      http://www.mediafire.com/file/bdrvcp1t718xvb8/CNCRetro_r03_Recalbox.zip/file ~11,11MB

      A short HOWTO:
      You need a Keyboard and Mouse to play.
      You will be greeted with two options when launched:

      1. START C&C RETRO SINGELPLAYER/Online 1vs1 Modem play
      2. START WITH 4 PLAYER Online CLIENT/SERVER

      1 --> select when you only play Singleplayer (Modem play DOES NOT WORK)
      2 --> CLIENT/SERVER architecture - on the first machine START THE DEDICATED SERVER and then the CLIENTS can connect to the SERVER IP.
      Then go to "Multiplayer Game" --> "Network" and make a NEW Game. You MUST make a NEW Game or other Players cannot see or JOIN you.
      That's it.

      Good times ahead,

          Seems great 🙂 Thank you for sharing. We were asking ourselves if we could embed the game in recalbox, but it seems it has copyrighted content, isn't it ?

            The first 3 Command & Conquer titles are "Freeware". Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Sun were released to the public for free with no licence to them (GPL3, MIT...).
            I'm not sure under which license CNC Retro would be. (Public Domain??)
