Troubleshooting
If the keyboard input in DOSBox is not correct, you need to edit the DOSBox config file, dosbox-SVN.conf, which is located in the hidden folder, .dosbox, in your home folder.
To fix, run the following commands:
cd ~/.dosbox
sudo nano dosbox-SVN.conf
In the [sdl] section, edit line 34 of dosbox-SVN.conf so that usescancodes is set to false as below:
usescancodes=false
In some games your joystick/controller may be permanently fixed in one corner. For these games, edit dosbox-SVN.conf, find the [Joystick] section and set timed to false as below:
timed=false
rpix86 defaults to analog audio output, if you use HDMI audio you need to give -a0 parameter to rpix86
