c:\> imgmount d ULTIMATE/ULTIMATE.img -t iso Now start DOSBOX and mount the image as if it was a CD-ROM, then go the CD-ROM drive and enter start. Execute the following commands in a terminal: mkdir dos/ultimate Next we need to move the CD image into our dos directory. Open the browser on the Raspberry Pi and download it directly to the Downloads folder on the PI. My favorite is The Ultimate Shareware Games Collection Vol.
Raspberry pi dosbox archive#
The internet archive has a entire section devoted to these compilation CD-ROM’s. What better way than to try one of the shareware compilation CD-ROM’s that was distributed in the 90’s? These compilation CD-ROM’s contains shareware versions of many of the classic games you’ll remember from the DOS days.
The next step is downloading some good old games onto the Raspberry Pi. The Ultimate ShareWare Games Collection vol. Now DOSBOX is installed, configured and ready to run from the start menu – but our dos folder is still empty. # Lines in this section will be run at startup. Then scroll down to the bottom of the file and add the following to make sure DOSBOX knows about the folder we just created and will start up in that folder: dosbbox/dosbox-0.74.confĬhange DOSBOX to run in fullscreen by changing the configuration option: fullscreen=true Then we configure DOSBOX to automatically start inside that directory. We start by setting up a folder where we will keep all our DOS games and files: mkdir dos
Raspberry pi dosbox install#
If it asks for your password to install the package use the default password: raspberry. To install DOSBOX open a terminal window and enter the following commands: sudo apt-get install dosbox Install and configure DOSBOXĭOSBOX is a DOS emulator that let you run DOS based games and programs on your Raspberry Pi. Once we’re connected to the internet we can start setting up DOSBOX. Now you can connect to your WiFi pressing the WiFi icon in the top right corner (you’ll need a WiFi adapter for this to work on the Raspberry Pi 2), find your WiFi network and enter your WiFi password. When first booted the Raspberry Pi should boot into Pixel and show you a screen like to the right. Sit back and relax, once powered up we want to finish the basic setup. The first boot always takes a little while because the Pi is resizing the filesystem to the size of your SD card. Next hook your Raspberry Pi up to your monitor, keyboard and mouse, and power up the Raspberry Pi.
When downloaded extract and flash the image onto a SD card using Win32DiskImager as described here.

The full list of items you’ll need is here: A keyboard, a mouse and a monitor – only this time it needs to be a HDMI monitor, not VGA, and your PC is replaced by a Raspberry Pi.
To get started you’ll need a setup similar to your old PC setup. Do you want to relive the glory days of playing Wolfenstein 3D, Commander Keen, Lemmings and Wacky Wheel on your PC? Or would you like for your kid to experience the original days of PC gaming? Building a Raspberry Pi DOSBOX is the perfect way to relive DOS gaming and learn about the Raspberry Pi while doing it.
