Ok try my method then: (Please note that this way it will not go through Retroarch…) 1 - Download DosBox SVN from here: [https://github.com/fr500/dosbox-svn](https://github.com/fr500/dosbox-svn) 2 - Place it in **/home/cpi/** You can use Filezilla for this… 3 - Unzip it: **unzip dosbox-svn-master.zip** 4 - **cd dosbox-svn-master** 5 - **sudo sh ./autogen.sh** 6 - **sudo ./configure** 7 - **sudo make** I think thats what I did… Then when you want to create a script for your Dos games do this: 1 - Create a DOS folder in **/home/cpi/games/** 2 - Put some game folder in it. ex. **/home/cpi/games/DOS/catac3d** (For the game Catacomb 3D) 3 - Make sure your games folder names do not use more than **8 characters** … 4 - Create a launcher script in **/home/cpi/launcher/Menu/GameShell/20\_Retro Games/DOS/Catacomb 3D.sh** 5 - Put this code in it (change it to reflect your game…) **/home/cpi/dosbox-svn-master/src/dosbox ~/games/DOS/catac3d/CAT3D.EXE -exit -exit** If you want to make it prettier, follow the steps I went through here: [Adding Shortcuts to "Retro Games" on Clockork Menu](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/adding-shortcuts-to-retro-games-on-clockork-menu/1796/5) Here is my config files if you need them. Place them in **/home/cpi/.dosbox/** [https://www.dropbox.com/s/9zmbw94ma73v6v6/dosbox.zip?dl=1](https://www.dropbox.com/s/9zmbw94ma73v6v6/dosbox.zip?dl=1) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/how-can-i-install-dosbox-sdl2-version/3383)._
