@substring said in Dosbox doesn't start:

@lmerckx

@lmerckx can you help me?

@dragu That message was before your advice. I confirm here that the ~/logs/es_launch_stdout.log contains the part of command line -conf /recalbox/share/roms/dos/duke.pc/dosbox.cfg.

@dragu I've tested with your dosbox.cfg, and nothing changed.

I think that the problem may be related with the dosbox video driver not working ("Exit to error: Could not initialize video: Invalid window").

@voljega I changed my dosbox.bat, and nothing changed (the dosbox splashscreen appears for about 1 second and then it returns to emulation station).

Software: Recalbox version 18.07.13
Hardware: Raspberry PI 1 Model B

I'm having some trouble in getting Dosbox to work (I followed the instructions from https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/How-to-use-DOSBox-to-emulate-DOS-games).

I've put the files for the "Duke nukem 3D" game in /recalbox/share/roms/dos/duke.pc, and inside that folder I've created a file dosbox.bat, that contains just two lines:

c:
duke3d.exe

When I try to open that Game in the emulationstation GUI, the DOSBOX logo appears for about 1 second (see below) and come back to the emulation station... Something is preventing DOSBOX from starting.

I've collected some logs just after I've tried to run the "Duke Nukem":

~/logs/es_launch_stderr.log:

ALSA lib seq_hw.c:466:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory

~/logs/es_launch_stdout.log:

SDL_VIDEO_GL_DRIVER=/usr/lib/libGLESv2.so /usr/bin/dosbox -userconf -exit /recalbox/share/roms/dos/duke.pc/dosbox.bat -c set ROOT=/recalbox/share/roms/dos/duke.pc -vkeybd /usr/share/dosbox -conf /recalbox/share/system/configs/dosbox/dosbox.conf

When I try to run the above command (exactly the contents of ~/logs/es_launch_stdout.log) from SSH, I got the following output:

DOSBox version SVN

CONFIG:Loading primary settings from config file /recalbox/share/system/.dosbox/dosbox-SVN.conf
CONFIG:Loading additional settings from config file /recalbox/share/system/configs/dosbox/dosbox.conf
Exit to error: Could not initialize video: Invalid window

Besides Duke Nukem, I've tried to run another DOS program: an ancient DOS program called "visual player". Both works in my linux PC' dosbox but unfotunately dont work in recalbox.

Questions:

1. What I'm doing wrong?

2. Is there something that I can do, some other log to collect?

3. What "SDL_VIDEODRIVER" (https://wiki.libsdl.org/FAQUsingSDL) Recalbox's dosbox should use for RPi ? May be an issue related to this?

Thanks in advance.
