## Patch DosBox
Now we have the DosBox code, you will probably want to patch it to fix a specific bug that happens with some doors which will appear as though when you press enter, it receives the enter command twice.

## Compile DosBox
Compiling DosBox takes a long time on the Raspberry PI and will appear to have frozen a few times - particularly when compiling the render-scalers file - don't worry, just leave it it will eventually move on.

Next you will need to create a config file which enables the serial port, and also mounts drives so that DosBox can access both your doors and your BBS drop files.
An example setup is here: [dosbox.conf](https://gist.github.com/apamment/2e5b00eda2f304f2bc7d298a0487bd9b)

This will just dump the user back to the BBS if the door is in use. You could get fancy and use the 'inuse' door I created which will display an in-use message and then quit ([INUSE Door](https://github.com/apamment/inuse)), but that is outside the scope of this document.
