Hello again,

ARC Browser new release is out !
All my Magic DosBox can be launched by ARC Browser.

There is the steps :

• Create a directory with empty files named as game ID with “game” as extension (for example : “[gameIdHere].game”)
• Open ARC browser
• Create a new system named “DOS” with the following parameters :
  • “game” as rom extension
  • “bruenor.magicbox/bruenor.magicbox.uiGameStarterActivity” as emulator component
  • empty as action
  • empty as category
  • a parameter named “intent_msg1” with value “%rom_filename_noext%”
• Refresh “DOS” system roms without scrape
• Edit “DOS” system roms with “Fix match using different name” to get correct name, description and box

Thank you for yor help.

In a next release, the developer of ARC Browser will add an option to send filename excluding extension.
ARC Browser can only send complete paths (of ROM directory, EXE files, …) and it is not possible to launch a game by ROM path with Magic DOSBox (is not it ?).
I will create a directory with files named as game ID. Exemple :

– [directory] DOSGames
– [file] gameIdA.game
– [file] gameIdB.game
– …

Hi,

I had a misunderstanding.
It’s work !

I have set :
– “bruenor.magicbox/bruenor.magicbox.uiGameStarterActivity” as emulator component
– empty as action
– empty as category
– “id of a game” for parameter “intent_msg1” (intent_msg1=gameId instead of code=intent_msg1 and value=gameId)

The test work (I set game ID manually).
I am in touch with the developer of ARC Browser to send game ID according to wich game I click on.

I will let you know when I get results (and the procedure to make it works).

Hello again :),

Thank you for your quick answer.

I am near to the solution.
I have set :
– “bruenor.magicbox/bruenor.magicbox.uiGameStarterActivity” as emulator component
– empty as action
– empty as category
– “intent_msg1” for parameter “code”
– “id of a game” for parameter “value”

When I click on a game, DOSBox Magic is launched but not the game.

Do you have an idea to solve my problem ?
