      Hello,

      How i can play Dos-Games on GPi Case? On my Nespi with Recalbox 6.0 it works fine. I use the same Files and the same configs on my GPi with Recalbox 6.1 stable.
      If i try to start a game, i get a black screen, then for a short time the Dosbox Logo and then i come back to Emulation Station.

      The next Problem, which buttons i have to write in the mapping file? (A,B,X,Y,D-Up... or numbers?)

      Same Problem with ScummVM. How i can set a new mapping? I can't move the cursor.

        Hi,

        Same problem with recalbox 6.1 and 6.1.1, I opened an issue on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/issues/1022).

          Hello,

          For ScummVM, there is an issue opened with a possible solution: https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox-configgen/issues/277

          For DosBox, I wasn't aware of the problem. But it will be hard to debug: I have no GPI case and the message you mention in es_launch_stderr.log is normal (same message on all platforms).
          I recently discovered a strange optimization parameter which shouldn't be compatible with RPI0 and 1 ... but I don't know if it can cause the problem (it would be detected before).

            Well if you can tell me what parameter it is I might be able to test.

              It's a compilation parameter. So, you can't simply use it when starting the emulator.

              Sorry.

                Simply replace the controllersConfig.py from here https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox-configgen/raw/master/configgen/controllersConfig.py?inline=false solved the problem for me.

                  Same Problem! Has anyone already started dosbox with the GPi Case?
