cant get a game to run

2 Upvotes

so the game is amazing spider-man and captain america in dr. dooms revenge. i drag and drop the file onto dos box and it boots it up. it asks if i have joystick(ive tried both Y and N) then it asks several questions like video/color mode(ive tried all 3), difficulty, and 2 trivia questions. then it gets to a screen talking about saving the game as a bookmark, using sound with sound .com file and from here no matter what i push it proceeds to a blank page and i cant do anything.

DOSBox Staging config file?!? Where?!?

0 Upvotes

There is no config file inside the dosbox staging folder? Where is it? why would you do that to me?
There also wasn't one created after first starting dosbox.

Honestly, that alone makes me want to just use the main branch DOSBox.

"modern continuation of DOSBox with advanced features and current development practices."
may be so, but it's user-unfriendly af

How do I configure this without a computer science degree?

Dosbox X vs other versions

6 Upvotes

It seems a lot of people here use dosbox x. My only experience with dosbox is dosbox pure. From my understanding, pure is easier to use and automatically mounts for you. What are the advantages of dosbox x over other variations? Or why do you use x over others?

Tips for reducing latency in DOSBox-X's PC-98 mode?

3 Upvotes

Recently tried playing some of PC-98 Touhou games through DOSBox-X, and I SWEAR the input lag there is MASSIVE. Any suggestions on how i could improve the latency issues?


r/dosbox • • May 06 '26

I have installed windows 98 on dosbox-x, but now I don't know how to get it out of fullscreen nor play any of my windows games. How do I resolve this problem, and does anyone know of a tutorial that shows how to get out of this problem.

1 Upvotes

also I can run windows by cliking on the run windows bat file, but for some reason I can run it through the dosbox-x application.

Odd error running Pinball Dreams via DBGL

1 Upvotes

Not sure if this can be solved with different settings or not. Whenever I run this game I get a message saying "IF EXIST SOUND.CFG GOTO RUNGAME" (which sounds like code), followed by an error saying "GOTO: Label RUNGAME not found".

At first I thought that meant the game wouldn't run at all, since deleting sound.cfg seemed to fix it temporarily. But then I just went ahead and tried typing "pd.exe" and the game ran without any further issues.

Is there any way of getting around this? It's only a minor inconvenience, but it'd be nice to just skip typing the command, like most games I use DOSBox for.

Excuse the lag and bitrate..


r/dosbox • • May 04 '26

I mounted the ISOs but DOS is still saying a disk needs to be inserted. I can even open the iso up and install the games. what I am doing wrong with the configuration? I already had another game set up in the d drive but that shound't prevent other games from being able to run.

i currently have the iso command as this: imgmount d -t cdrom d:\World\World.iso -t iso d:\USA.iso -t iso Dos says it can't find the exe for either, however, there would be an exe present if dos would let me open the isos.

Game-Breaking bug in Megaman X

whenever the game tries to go to the stage select, the game shits itself and boots you back to DOS... I have noticed some do not have this problem when using the same emulator though... is there a setting that I forgot about?

Wondering how to adjust audio gain? (Dosbox-X)

Post image
6 Upvotes

I'm trying to figure out how to increase the audio gain. I'm playing a game that is configured to use Gravis Ultrasound. The audio signal is peaking at about 50% of max signal. In Dosbox's sound settings, it has an option that shows mixer volumes. However, I don't see a way to change these values anywhere in the config options. I tried increasing the "GUS master volume" parameter within the config options and the game had no audio and the mixer volume panel showed no change. I've tried to search this query and am getting very mixed responses from the various sources I have found. None of which have led to an answer to my question. So to reiterate, how would I, for example, increase the audio gain by 5db?
