Basically today I just turned on my RG-350 without changing any configuration or without installing any stuff (simply just turned on) went on SimpleMenu and runned a DOS game that I was playing last time I turned on the console and... DosBox wants to load the .conf file as it was any .exe or .bat file, so basically instead of loading as a autoexec it loads it as a common file, any help?

Basically it says on the prompt:

C:\>Jazz Jackrabbit.conf
Illegal command JAZZ.

Here is trying to run Jazz Jackrabbit.conf, so it runs just the command "Jazz" that it's nothing, because of the space, but even if it was JAZZ.conf the thing the same, just it tries to load "Jazz.conf" that is not a valid executable for DOS.
It shouldn't load it from dos, but DosBox should append it to the autoexec.

Here is an example .conf file:

[autoexec]
@echo off
mount c "/media/RG-350/roms/DOS/JAZZ"
c:
JAZZ.exe

Seems like that SimpleMenu is not using -conf parameter, so maybe the solution is to just make SimpleMenu load the DosBox games with the parameter -conf if the extension is .conf.

I have zero idea how DOS Box works on these devices. I will look into it and try to understand what you mean.
