I made the changes to the .bat file.
cd
Install.exe
blood.exe
It still responds the same. I tried it on solar winds which just has a solar.exe and no install.exe and it behaves the same. Thanks for everyone's help. Do I need to have more in the bat file? Other sites talk of mounting drives. I don't know if that applies to recalbox. Could it be a resolution problem? I've seen similar behaviour when my n64 and dreamcast emulator weren't set to the proper resolution. Also when I didn't have the correct bios but as far as I know dosbox doesn't have a bios. My msx did something similar before I got the proper data files. Thanks

I am also having this exact problem. The dos box logo does display small in the top left corner of the screen before exiting back to emulation station. I've tried this with 10 plus games from different sites.

Hello
I'm having problems with getting dosbox to work. I followed the readme and dosbox launches but after you see the dosbox logo it backs into the emulationstation menu again. I've tried multiple games with the same result. The last time I had similar errors it was from incorrect bios files and the improper resolution (dreamcast). Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. Not sure if it's a bug or not since it seems other forum members have it working

After following the dosbox readme I get the dosbox logo when I run a game but then it exits back to the menu.
