Okm I;ve downloaded this version, but for now, I don’t see any change.
Also, which is the right way to load dosbox with a custom conf file for the game. I’ve tried serveral variants, but I am not sure which one is correct.
Also, for the sound to work, is it safer to leave the sound section of the conf file empty and configure it from the menu ?
Iv’e chosen serveral output devices (Alsa, HDMI, digital) but the sound is still distorted.
Did you remove the old version of the add-on?
This add-on is separate from Kodi so no settings in Kodi are used for the add-on.
I don’t really use dosbox at all, so I am not sure, maybe someone that uses it can help you there.
You mentioned you didn’t had any audio before, you have audio now but its distorted? with all emus?
confirmed…DosBox runs like 3fps on my s905x
same as on the n2, it seems… what about the sound? I am thinking it’s distorted because of the slow fps, as it tries to sync it with the graphics
I have not tried other addon, I wanted to make lba2 work for my cousin, who runs a retropi, but i don’t have an rpi right now, so I’ve tried with the odroid. They advertise the n2 as a good platform for retro gaming, so i suppose they run it on ubuntu or android with hw acceleration. I have also tried different scalers, but same fps
I haven’t added DosBoxSDL to the add-on but that one has better FPS. It also depends on the game that you are trying to run in DosBOX.
The problem is that all of the versions we have been using do not have the dynamic recompiler that we need. Look at this setting in Retroarch Dosbox core options :
dosbox_cpu_core = “auto”
We should have more options there…Right now there is only “Normal” and “Simple” cores available to choose from. If we could choose “Dynamic” as shown here :
https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Configuration:CPU
Then we would have perfect speeds.
I think they have it here :
would it br possible to build also a dosbox with SDL? I would gladly try it…
It looks like in libreelec it’s already included, if it helps.
Is installing Drastic by running the script correct?
DosboxSDL is already included in the standalone EmuELEC its just not in the addon.
For the N2 Its not officially supported, but its correct.
Problem is CE in the N2 uses a different color depth than the one needed by drastic, so you need to set it to 16 before you run a game. you can use setres.sh 16 in drastic.sh but you might have problems after that until you restart.
Unfortunately the add-on version will not always support the same emulators as the standalone distro of EmuELEC, reason being CE and a few emus use different FB color depth. There is not much I can do about that.
Hi, Im trying to make it works amiga games under amiberry. I select amiberry on emulation station, and place the kick.rom in bios and put the games on the amiga directory on /roms, the files are .lha
I think that Im doing the right way to the system, but when I load any games the screen turn to a few colors and stay on this until I have to unplug the tv box.
Anybody know how can I do to play amiga games?
Thanks.
The same thing happens to me with OpenBOR. I tested the pak on the PC and it worked. Maybe it’s that same error with FB color depth.
I’ve tried to remap Reicast controls with the script, however updating emu.cfg has no effect. The instructions on the wiki looks different to how the emu.cfg looks. What is maple_/dev/input/event4 = 0
Also, there is no evdev_mapping_1
I added it but don’t see how to reference to the new controller cfg I created.
Thanks for all the effort in making this possible, great work!
I have the N2 with Coreelec, med Sx05RE 2.5.3. I’ve managed to start it and launch a N64 game(Mario Kart).
However the quality\resolution is really bad. Is there any where to tweak this? I currently run everything on default, as I’m not very familiar with emulators…
Thanks in advance 
I only can tell you that in a magicsee n5 (905x) the n64 Mario kart for example plays fine. I play to this game and any other in n64 and goes right.
If you go into the Retroarch menu (hotkey + X) when you’re playing, in “quick menu” there’s “options”. In there you can set the resolution (4:3 Screen Size, if I remember correctly). Remember to save game options, and fully restart the game (exit game, then re-enter; don’t restart from the Retroarch menu) On my N2, Mario Kart 64 plays beautifully at 1440x1080, 2 player split screen. Like butter. I haven’t tried 3 or 4 players yet, but I suspect it’s probably just as smooth.
Because it plays most games reliably at 1440x1080 however, I’ve edited my core options (/storage/.config/retroarch/retroarch-core-options.cfg) so that resolution is the default. Likewise the same for Flycast.

Thanks, I see now that you are referring to Retroarch, but since I was running everything default I was using Emulationstation.
I’ll try to switch to Retroarch and give it a go. Thanks again
Many of the emulators that ES runs are Retroarch cores, which means that even though they are launched from EmulationStation, Retroarch is in run in the background. For the most part, Retroarch is hidden, but hitting the hotkey + X combo will bring up the RA menu in these emulators.
