hi all,

Im using the attached

Filename: dosbox_sod_single.conf
File size: 4.3 KiB
Downloads: 41 downloads
File license: Public domain

Filename: dosbox_sod.conf
File size: 11.18 KiB
Downloads: 38 downloads
File license: Public domain

Filename: main.bat.txt
File size: 84 Bytes
Downloads: 45 downloads
File license: Public domain

and experiencing a problem on startup, in detail getting this error when the line 67 exists

and getting this error when the line 68 exists

if not line 67+68 exist, run flawless... The need is to create more menu entries... I search over forum & world wide web. I found only, the source code part throwing the error.

Please advise, is any way to avoid this error or a even better way to do a menu?

Yes

Use a front end:
DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)
D-Fend Reloaded (DOSBox frontend)

Use a menu program:
https://www.target-earth.net/wiki/doku.php?id … og:x86_launcher
New MS-DOS Games Launcher / Menu System App

I even made one very simple one myself some time ago:

@zirkoni
I will go with your solution, enlighten me how to use proper the ANSI on menu, for example now I have

[?7h[255D[0;1mM[36mo[0;36mo[34mnstone [1;37m(1992)[0m[30mx C:\MOONST~1 MS.EXE […]
Show full quote
[?7h[255D[0;1mM[36mo[0;36mo[34mnstone [1;37m(1992)[0m[30mx
C:\MOONST~1
MS.EXE

Another World (1991)
C:\ANOTHER
ANOTHER.EXE

but the selected option is NOT look /selected/ in menu...

[edit]
damn, let it be, dont like the 1 column with arrows keys... I just call a batch on autoexec section of dosbox_sod_single.conf like

1[ipx]
2ipx=false
3
4[autoexec]
5@echo off
6mount c ".."
7c:
8menu.bat

seems that this solving the problem.

this looks like the GOG setup for Spear of Destiny... GOG likes to use two configs like that. I find all gog configs to be terrible.
