Feature request: Converter for DosBoxPure

[toniosj]

DosBoxPure uses .zip files and inside a file "dosbox.bat" with all dosbox config.

[toniosj]

Hi! On last DosBOX-Pure beta, full compatibility with dosbox.conf files has been added.

It works fine now with game uses CD or has big files.

[Voljega]

ok but if dosbox pure now uses dosbox.bat and dosbox.cfg like every other dosbox cores out there, what's the point of it ?

no added value

[Torinde]

I ask about comparison between those and list what difference I found at schellingb/dosbox-pure/issues/364

[Voljega]

On Batocera, the converter works now fine with lr-dosbox-pure provided you disable dosbox-pure automapping (strike scroll lock on your keyboard while ingame)

I must say the emulator is now pretty good, if you use it as a regular dosbox core, especially on the performance side

[chr0m]

Best way to use this to make games for dosbox pure on an RG35XX?

[Voljega]

@chr0m can you open a fresh issue about dosbox pure on RG35XX ?

Good feaure would be, add "Dosbox Pure" export

ExoDosvoncerter generates .zip file with dosbox.conf file (dosbos.cfg+dosbox.bat) (BATOCERA MODE)

I have created my own dosboxpure pack using Batocera export, but adding my personal process:

1) I mix dosbos.cfg+dosbox.bat in a dosbox.conf file 2) I delete dosbos.cfg+dosbox.bat 3) I convert game.pc folder, to game.pc.zip file 4) I change filename game.pc.zip to game.zip

And then dosbox-pure runs the game automatically using dosbox.conf inside zipfile.

[Voljega]

How does it works with iso / bin / etc inside the zip ? Wouldn't it be extra slow ?

How does it works with iso / bin / etc inside the zip ? YES!

Wouldn't it be extra slow ? No, I play games like Alone In the Dark, MegaRace2, MDK .... with ISOs inside and I have no slowdowns.

[toniosj]

I use this structure:

Alone in the Dark.zip -adark1 (folder) --cd (folder) ---alonein.bin ---alonein.cue --DARK (folder) --- ........ -dosbox.conf

dosbox.conf file: # Config file for Dosbox-0.74 [sdl] fullscreen=true fulldouble=false fullresolution=desktop windowresolution=1280x960 output=texture renderer=auto vsync=false mapperfile=mapper.map [dosbox] machine=svga_s3 memsize=32 [render] aspect=true scaler=normal2x [cpu] core=auto cycles=8000 cycleup=500 [mixer] blocksize=2048 prebuffer=10 [midi] [sblaster] [gus] gus=true [speaker] [joystick] buttonwrap=false [serial] [dos] keyboardlayout=none [ipx] [autoexec] imgmount d .\adark1\cd\alonein.cue -t cdrom c: cd adark1 cd DARK cd INDARK INDARK

[Voljega]

I see, so you compress the files inside adark1.pc but not adark1.pc folder itself ?
