I see retropie is not using libretro core for dosbox, so I think it is an experimental or work-in-progress core.
I don't know how it works but you can google "dosbox lakka" or "dosbox retroarch" and see if you can find any help... Sorry...

Thanks for the input, although I am not using RetroPie (never used), I will do a search on google again to see if I can find something. Is there any alternative to play DOS games with my Pi3? I wanted to keep everything tidy and organized with Kodi and my video/movies library.

Hi,

I'm a first time LibreElec user, been familiar with Kodi for quite some time before. I actually like this project, kudos to the creator, however I am facing some struggling issues.

I have some old DOS games, like Wolfestein 3D, Karateka, Carmen... I want to play them but I can't for the life of me make them run with the DOSbox core in RetroArch. Both RetroArch and EmulationStation fails to recognize the DOS games, when I try to run them through Launch Content in RetroArch, it goes to a black screen and then sends me back to Kodi main screen.

What am I doing wrong? What are the steps needed to make the DosBox core run and play my games? Is there any tutorial for it?

I can play fine some old Atari, NES and Mega Drive roms though. It's just DosBox that is letting me down.

all the games runs fine with OpenEmu on my macbook, and the DOS games are fine with the Boxer mac app.

thanks in advance!
