Description

Hello I'm trying to use libretro-dosbox and I wanted to know if it's possible to use for a given game :

  • a dosbox.bat file for launch instructions
  • a dosbox.cfg / dosbox-DSL.conf conf file for the emulator configuration, without any instructions in the [autoexec] part

Both regular dosbox and dosbox-x allow that but I don't seem to be able to make it work with lr-dosbox.

So :

  • is it possible ?
  • if yes what command line to use for that specific case ?

Research direction

Start by checking how lr-dosbox processes dosbox.bat, dosbox.cfg, and dosbox-DSL.conf, especially whether [autoexec] content is required. Reproduce the requested setup and determine the command-line form, or document that the combination is unsupported.
