Description
When attempting to launch a dos game from command line it does not launch the game, only drops to dosbox with z: prompt. If i choose the game exe from rgui and launch from inside the gui with the dosbox core it launches the exe as expected.
I noticed this in the -v flag output from commandline :
[INFO] Content loading skipped. Implementation will load it on its own.
My syntax for launching is:
retroarch -L (path to dosbox core) (path to exe)

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the stated retroarch -L command and compare it with launching the same executable through rgui using the dosbox core. Start with the -v output, especially the “Content loading skipped” message; done means the command-line launch opens the DOS game instead of stopping at the Z: prompt.
