Seeing the following warning appear during an update:

==> WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir usr/bin/dosbox

Good detail.

Yet the plugin cannot be included in this package, due to having the MAME license.

It would need a separate optional package.

elitedev commented on 2026-05-27 02:08 (UTC)

It's only the CLAP plugin itself -- the ROMs are not contained in that package. ROMs would still need to be sourced by end user for full functionality. Without that plugin however, even with ROMs, SC55 emulation will not work.

es20490446e commented on 2026-05-26 10:11 (UTC)

Sadly Roland SC55 emulation depends on proprietary Roland firmware. Hence all Roland emulators are non-free, under the MAME license, to avoid legal conflict.

elitedev commented on 2026-05-26 03:21 (UTC)

In order to get working Roland SC55 emulation, additional steps are now required.

This plugin needs to be downloaded during build (or built from source): https://github.com/johnnovak/Nuked-SC55-CLAP/releases/download/v0.11.0/Nuked-SC55-CLAP-linux-x86_64-v0.11.0.zip

Inside the archive "Nuked-SC55.clap" needs to be installed to: /usr/share/dosbox-staging/plugins

"depends" must have "dosbox-staging":

provides=("dosbox" "dosbox-staging")
conflicts=("${provides[@]}")
