I tried to remap arrow keys to WSAD. SO first, like in the guide i found, i deleted all the bidings for WSAD keys and then mapped arrows to them. However after saving game is simply ignoring the maping and i cannot mov with WSAD. What may be causing this problem? The binds save properly cause after rstarting dosbox mapper shows binds on WSAD for directional keys but it seem just not to affect th game.

This is not game specific issue as the remaps do not work also in Dosbox promptline. The remaps are also shown in .map file. I tried to change the path to mapfile in conf to absolute (C:\FOLDER\MAPFILE.MAP) but it changes nothing. Dosbox completly ignores th file.

does any one know any zombie games for dosbox that not blood

does anyone recommend any dosbox games that are rpg

It seems a lot of people here use dosbox x. My only experience with dosbox is dosbox pure. From my understanding, pure is easier to use and automatically mounts for you. What are the advantages of dosbox x over other variations? Or why do you use x over others?

I feel like such an idiot, I see clear instructions on screen but I have no idea what they even mean 😭I’m really lame when it comes to computers. I installed dosbox on mac, because I want to play DYNA game(bomberman).
On my old windows I could just drag and drop it on the dosbox icon but here it wants me to mount it and directory has to exists and I’m just here weeping, I have no idea how to do any of that. 😭I don’t even know what it means. I’m so sorry if this a dumb question I just feel so fcking stupid now. I just wanna play the game 😩

There is no config file inside the dosbox staging folder? Where is it? why would you do that to me?
There also wasn't one created after first starting dosbox.

Honestly, that alone makes me want to just use the main branch DOSBox.

"modern continuation of DOSBox with advanced features and current development practices."
may be so, but it's user-unfriendly af

How do I configure this without a computer science degree?

Not sure if this can be solved with different settings or not. Whenever I run this game I get a message saying "IF EXIST SOUND.CFG GOTO RUNGAME" (which sounds like code), followed by an error saying "GOTO: Label RUNGAME not found".

At first I thought that meant the game wouldn't run at all, since deleting sound.cfg seemed to fix it temporarily. But then I just went ahead and tried typing "pd.exe" and the game ran without any further issues.

Is there any way of getting around this? It's only a minor inconvenience, but it'd be nice to just skip typing the command, like most games I use DOSBox for.
