Can a DOSBox-X dev speak to the truth/limits of this? I have no idea what it means, obviously. If it matters, I'm attempting this on Raspbian OS and Twister OS.ĮDIT: The following was stated to me recently: "Dosbox-X must run under Xserver in Linux and this will significantly reduce the emulation performance on the Raspberry Pi". I saw one tutorial that involved typing in lots of command lines that seemed to download and compile the program (as said, Linux is totally alien to me, but I have no fear typing commands having grown up well before the Windows age with DOS and C64s) but all involved having to compile DOSBox-X myself, which seemed a bit bizarre and failed every time.Īpologies if this is better suited to a Raspberry Pi forum but I've never got a reply on the dedicated Reddit to any queries (most posts there seem to be just pictures of projects) so thought I'd ask here since it's DOSBox specific. I "get" that you can just type commands to download from a repo, but there's no UI to know what repos are available for Dosbox-X (if any).
I am very ignorant about Linux, however, and the whole concept of not even being able to download an offline installer confounds me. It'll just be a keyboard with an HDMI cable, power cable, and a mouse sticking out of the back, which boots directly into DOSBox with all drives mounted automatically when the system starts up.
#Dosbox raspberry pi how to
So far I can only find out how to install "vanilla" DOSBox but I would much rather have X (or Staging, if not). I'm building the Pi and a USB hub into the casing of a mechanical keyboard, for a compact and relatively portable standalone DOS gaming machine.
