Without any modification at all might be a real challenge. This may not fly for the official module I don't know, probably needs some discussion. I could replicate how the dosbox module handles things especially when it comes to zipped games which mine are but this is to easy to pass up for me. I use this nice little shell utility to setup symbolic links.

WORKING DIRECTORY PATHS IN DOSBOX CONF WINDOWS

For those who dont know what a symbolic link is, its basically a shortcut to the folder but windows will treat it and its contents like it actually exists there. Now although you could do that, the better way is setting up a symbolic link to the games folder within your exodos set where it lives now, in my case on a network drive from my NAS. So now that I have explained that, you can see that in order to run the exodos set as is we would have to place the Games directory from the exodos set in our retroarch directory. When RL runs retroarch you will get the same mounting results that you do running retroarch through windows. \" it would mount the directory where retroarch.exe is. As for running retroarch through windows, if you ran "mount c. So for example if you bring up a command prompt and go to cd c:\ and then run retroarch with the dosbox core using an absolute path to your retorarch.exe, then once dosbox comes up you do "mount c. Running from windows will set the root folder to where dosbox.exe lives, where running from cli will set the root folder to whatever folder you are currently in. Running from windows and running from cli will give you different results. When you load dosbox in or out of retroarch, the root folder dosbox looks at by default, from my testing anyway, is whatever path dosbox is run from. I wont be able to finish the modifications to the module tonight but I thought it would be a good idea to post my approach as it could be a little controversial.Īlright so if you look at any nf in the exodos set for a game you will notice that the mount path is always relative so. I have come up with a way of running exodos conf files as is so NO modifications to the set.
