Should you not see this parameter in nf then you'll have to manually upgrade your config file by doing this. All you need is to get the latest master then make sure to set the following parameter in your nf: I'm especially interested by any feedback for pi3. Further improvements and features are still planned hence it's only the beginning :-) If you have some time to spare or in need to play a DOS gem at fullspeed, you'd better give it a try. I consider removing the "ports" versions of those games from my pi. To give you an idea of such achievement, Quake is now running fullspeed (I need to get some accurate data but we're talking 30fps there and higher resolutions), same goes with Wing Commander 4, Destruction Derby's, Screamer's, Dark Forces, Crusader no Remorse/Regret, Duke3D, Blood or Doom/2. On a stock pi4/Retropie it's now possible to enjoy your DOS games in all their glory without running through complex setup or tweaks. To the point that I'm able to play any games I could think of, fullspeed.

I'm using a combo of Staging and -pure with very good results on a Pi3, but I do have that feeling that it's time to upgrade to a 4.Īll, over the past few weeks Dosbox Staging team has been busy adding more and more performance improvements to the code. This in order to (re)play some good oldies which - for some - haven't aged at all :-)Īre these changes meant to take advantage of the Pi4 or will they be usable on a 3? Apparently the Pixel Perfect shader option is disabled in the Pi3 build because of performance. Please feel free to test, report and do not hesitate to participate.

"Staging" is a bit a mix of everything with focus on gaming, cleaning-up the code to modern standard and features like pixel-perfect and very accurate sound emulation (ie Gravis Ultrasound). If you're looking for plenty of features and functionalities "X" is a good option. Then if you prefer the comfort of Retroarch then "Pure" and/or "Core" might be interesting for you.

If you're unsure of which version of Dosbox to pick I'd say give each version a try starting with "SVN" (to have a basis for comparison). Thanks to Retropie maintainers and to the "Staging" developers which are constantly improving the emulator as well as the community around it. Dosbox Staging is now part of the Retropie Project!
