@dragu

Thanks I have finally got it running to full screen and works perfect (well up to the new game screen anyway). I've learnt a lot in this topic and will try my luck at a few other games and see how it goes.

sorry for the long time this has taken and repeat information but its all clicked with me now (hopefully)

once again thanks Dragu for your time and patience with me

@dragu

Sorry im probable making things confusing.

I have the dosbox.bat file as the location for the horde.exe file
and the dosbox.cfg file I have as all the dos command lines
@echo off
if %1!==! goto USAGE
set COLON=
:VALIDDRIVE
if %1 == goto INSTALL1

these command lines I got from the install.bat file that was from the game after I zipped it, and then copy and pasted it to a text file and made it dosbox.cfg

with the screen details from your link where do I add the fullscreen=true line etc?

I know you said about copying your command lines from your link but as im new Ive tried but not sure im doing it right

@Dragu

Done all the unpacking of the files and copied the install.bat to a dosbox.cfg and it's working, but the problem I have now is that the game screen is tiny and is in the bottom left corner of my tv screen.

Not sure why but at least one problem sorted now it's getting the screen sorted

@abunille

I've had a search for the rom online and the 1993 download is 8mb but the only 1994 one I can see is for the emulator 3DO which is 500mb.

@dragu

Im going to unpack all the files in my folder and then give it another try tonight and let you know how it goes.

thanks

@abunille

Thanks, i see now when I have to create a file I need to do it in a text file. A new lesson learnt.

Thanks Abunille

@dragu

Should I just copy the command line from the two install.bat files and create them as dosbox.cfg?

@Dragu

Manage to run a quick test for the game and when I select the game Dosbox comes up and the dos screen shows it found the horse.exe file but then stops and goes back to recalbox screen. So I'm guessing it's something on the install.bat command line then?

Hi

how do I create a Scummvm file in recalbox as following the read me file but its not clear, I know the file name but not sure what type of file I have to create

thanks
