Its a shame that I have been waiting so long for some to assist, so I have started doing some digging.
First, the issues with games not loading.
I have made sure that I had followed the instructions for games folders and batch files to the letter.
This is the instructions in the DOS folder -
"## RECALBOX - PC ##
Put your dos games in this directory.
Each game must be placed in a directory having the .pc extension.
In each directory, a dosbox.bat file must contain the command line to run the game.
For example :
miniputt.pc/
miniputt.pc/dosbox.bat
miniputt.pc/MP.DAT
miniputt.pc/MP.EXE
and dosbox.bat contains : MP.EXE"
For what ever reason, as described before, my game (Wacky Wheels) would load, then wouldn't.
I have tried adding an extra line to the dosbox.bat while to see if the game would load -
"@echo off"
"ww.exe"
And guess what, the game loaded!
But have a look at this capture -
Z:>set ROOT=/recalbox/share/roms/dos/wacky.pc
Z:>MOUNT C "/recalbox/share/roms/dos/wacky.pc"
Drive C is mounted as local directory /recalbox/share/roms/dos/wacky.pc/
Z:>C:
C:>CALL DOSBOX.BAT
C:>echo off
Illegal command >echo off.
C:>ww.exe
For what ever reason, Dosbox will not call the DOSBOX.BAT file unless and extra line is added, even if its an illegal command!
If I remove the @echo off line, and just use a blank line, the game loads with an error as well.
Who knows why adding an illegal line is letting the game load?
I would still like some help on the performance issues, and joystick calibration.
