RE: How do I install and run daggerfall on recalbox?
@rummy1 Ok, I finally figured out how to run this on recalbox! It's took a lot to get it work but here goes. First create a folder, I named my dagger.pc. In the dagger.pc folder create a new folder named DAGGER, this where you will copy all the game files. You will also need a dosbox.bat for run the game. To create the dosbox.bat file, I'm assuming you are using a mac so you would use TextEdit program to create a text file. In this text file, copy this code:
c: cd DAGGER FALL.EXE Z.CFG
Save this file as dosbox.bat, you might need to remove the file extension at the end if it saves as dosbox.bat.txt. You will also need the dosbox.cfg, you can copy the code for this file from the following link: https://pastebin.com/13xrJdkw. Using TextEdit, you'll need to change the line that says mapperfile= to mapperfile=dagger. Also, the only way this would game would run was to increase the memsize= to memsize=48.
You'll need to edit the Z.CFG file too. Using TextEdit, edit the second line: path and the third line: pathCD to read like this:path C:\DAGGER\arena2\ pathCD C:\DAGGER\arena2\
Out of all the dos games I've gotten to run on dosbox this one is the most complicated. I'm pretty sure there are many different ways to run the game. This is just one way that worked for me.

Dosbox-Staging 0.75.0
Dosbox was one of the emulators that challenged me and got me excited about emulation in Recalbox. Unfortunately, progress on the emulator has been somewhat stagnate for a while. I know there are many variants of Dosbox, so recently I have been experimenting with the stable build of dosbox-staging 0.75.0 and have been very impressed. You can read and learn about all the new/improved features of the emulator at https://dosbox-staging.github.io/v0-75-0/. There are so many new features, it is exciting to see that development continues in the dosbox scene. What do you all think? Have you tried the emulator?

Amazing work! Thank you!

RE: Stuck at Recalbox Splash Screen
@Chunter Thank you for the suggestion. Just before I was going to try your suggestion, I was able to successfully boot to the main menu. It's working normally now. I'm assuming I might have a sd card that is failing so I have backed up everything. I'll be buying a new sd card and using an external usd drive for all the roms.

Stuck at Recalbox Splash Screen
Hi everybody,
During quarantine I've been doing much needed work on my Recalbox. I've been using 6.1.1 since it got released without any issue and using an overclocked Rpi 3B, also without any issue. The problem happened after I had just finished adding games to ScummVM and ResidualVM. I had my computer connected to the Recalbox using SSH so I could modify the ScummVM configuration file and the gamelist. After I restarted the Recalbox using the menu, its gotten stuck at the splash screen just before the main menu.
I can access the terminal. I just don't know any commands I can use to determine what is happening, or how to create an error report.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! -

RE: How do I install and run daggerfall on recalbox?
@voljega From my understanding, the game is looking for the disc in the cd-rom drive. So that is why the DFCD directory is needed as well as the -label Daggerfall. I haven't been able to figure out how to make recalbox work when mounting a secondary directory like this.
I've tried the following:
imgmount d "c:\DFCD\dagger.iso" -t iso -fs iso -label Daggerfall
cd DISK\DAGGER
But this gave me an error that I had inserted the wrong CD. The only thing I can think of causing this is that it doesn't like the label I used when I created the iso. I've gotten a few other games too work this way except I haven't had to specify the -label before. When I created the iso the label had to be in all uppercase: DAGGERFALL. -
RE: How do I install and run daggerfall on recalbox?
@voljega I too have been having trouble getting this game to run using recalbox on the pi. I've gotten about 30 dos games running so I'm a little familiar with the procedure. I currently have Daggerfall running on my pc using dosbox 0.74. So hopefully this can help @rummy1 as well.
The bat file I'm using on the pc dosbox is like this:
mount C "\DOSBox\ADD\dagger.pc\DISK"
mount D "\DOSBox\ADD\dagger.pc\DFCD" -t cdrom -label Daggerfall
CD \DAGGER
DAGGER.EXE
The problem is when on the pi, it doesn't like the second mount. I forget what the error is but I've tried creating the DFCD directory as an iso and using imgmount but that still doesn't work.
