Core options vs Conf file options

[sionisaac]

I really like this dosbox core and for the most part it works great. The main issue I have is certain games will only work if i disable core options and load the game from a conf file with all my settings (this works fine with standalone dosbox too). My preffered method for loading games in dosbox is by conf file. But when it comes to the retroarch side and all the options I havent got a clue what they mean. I thought the options were supposed to reflect settings in dosbox conf. But I've found that none or hardly any of the headings match the ones in the conf files. The crux of the matter is I want mouse emulation with my gamepad. But if I can only load certain games by switching off core options and loading from conf (BANG goes mouse emulation).

Is this issue going to be addressed?
Will the core options ever represent a WORD for WORD duplication of the conf options (Does the current setup really help those people who know nothing about how to configure dosbox)?
I'm happy to continue to use conf files and junk the retroarch options but there has to be a way to enable mouse emulation from gamepad as well as using conf configurations.

This core is outdated and not actively maintained anymore. Use "DOSBox-core" instead:
