Hi,
I'm trying to create universal batch files for my games that will work in both windows and dos (inside dosbox). To run games from windows via batch files without adding DOSBox folder into each game I've decided to copy external batch file (AUTOEXEC.BAT) which is called after running dosbox. Sample batch file looks like this:
@echo off
cd ..\DOSBox
copy ..\GAMES\DUKE3D\!EXTRAS\AUTOEXEC.BAT /y
cls
dosbox -nogui -noconsole -conf dosbox.play.conf
exit
It works as intended in windows.
I'd like to use the same file also for dos. Here is my attempt in writing a proper batch file:
@echo off
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq dosbox.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "dosbox.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" GOTO:DOS
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="1" GOTO:WIN
:WIN
cd ..\DOSBox
copy ..\GAMES\DSJ210\!EXTRAS\AUTOEXEC.BAT /y
cls
dosbox -nogui -noconsole -conf dosbox.play.conf
exit
GOTO:EOF
:DOS
cd GAMES\DSJ210
cls
set DOS4G=quiet
DSJ.EXE
exit
GOTO:EOF
I will be grateful if someone could help me bugfixing it, because this one don't work neither in windows nor inside dosbox. Or maybe there is a simpler way to achieve it? The concept is simple: check if dosbox is running, if no - execute the normal commands like in the first batch; if yes - run the game.
Thanks in advance.
