I wonder If you can install and run windows version 3.11 or 95 on this?
nope, it has a preloaded file structure... and the emulator already has a tough time emulating Dos games.
You may already know this, but if your interested their is a bochs emulator for the psp. try that and you will see how difficult emulating win95 is.
yeah ive tried win95 with bochs and it is unusually hard
No, this is UBER-SLOW compared to BOCHS. And if it was slow and BOCHS, you can expect that it is pretty unbootable here.Quote:

I want Danzeff's plugin! This Keyboard is unusable!
I'm pretty fine with psprint. However crazyc works on win 3.11 compatibility so don't think it won't ever work under this patched dosbox 0.60 (even if it doesn't work with the original dosbox 0.60).
Thank you god :D
This is really something big!
seriously can someone figure out how to use the purple keymaps to make numbers and such?
kik ass warcraft!!!!!!!!! i know its not the best rts but ill settle for any rts game on the psp!!! hopefully the compatabilaty wi;ll be up on the next release and it will run full speed!!!! WOOT WOOT!Quote:

Oh, man, this is great! Once the framerates come up to a nice par on a more useable level, this will be the most used emulator for my PSP. Some of my most fondest memories came from Dos games, and this will be great. Space Quest, the Keen sereis, ect. One question though, I heard there's a frame skip on this, how does it work?
Ok, i finally got this to load Keen4 intsead of typing all that stuff in, i just got it to auto load the folder, Can someone explain to me how UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT works.
Just to clear some things up all in one place:
1) It emulates DOS not windows
2) Windows 95 and other windows versions wont work because shockingly, they are NOT DOS applications
3) Enjoy
I don't know but games like Discworld are perfect for this emulator (control-wise). I own DW1 for PS1 and DW: Noir for PC. I have yet to find a non-PAL version of DW2: Morality Bytes.Quote:

One question. How do you type?
How can i modify frameskip value? thank you.
In warcraft 1 when i go to any campaign it gives me a error..... but the custom game works... why is this?
Wtf? how? Does it run fast? I still can't get this to load anything! can someone make a quick guide for me ? The problem I'm having is with the PSPrint keyboard. I don't know how to type the #'s.
Thanks!
what's going on whith directional keys?
do they work?
is it possible to make them work?
And why is the mouse so slow?
this is the best emulator ever
All the games I have tested are working; for example Lemmings 1, 2, 3 (good speed) and lemmings 3d (slow)
and many others at a reasonable speed
I just found a few games that are not working like Tyrian
if zsnes works full speed id say we can scrap any other snes emu out there that was made for the psp, seeing as zsnes is the best snes emu out there :D
WOW! This emulater has a lot of potential, if speed can be increased, this would be awsome.
Hey, can someone help me. Where do I put the games? and how do I use this. Sorry but i am a newb at this stuff.
Thanks in advance
this is sweet! one must fall 2097 works though it's slow but still awesome.
moraff's world works....space quest 5 works...
heres my MW.bat file:
@echo off
INPUTMAP up up
INPUTMAP right right
INPUTMAP down down
INPUTMAP left left
INPUTMAP triangle u
INPUTMAP square 7
INPUTMAP cross f
INPUTMAP circle d
INPUTMAP start enter
INPUTMAP select esc
INPUTMAP exec MW
btw setting up all ur games like this makes it hella easier to play. all other buttons and configs are rendered useless, so there are no conflics...simply just the buttons you setup.
Noob Tutorial - by me :)
Installing the program:
1. Copy __SCE__DOSBOX________ and %__SCE__DOSBOX________ to your PSP/GAME or PSP/GAME150 folder.
2. Copy the dosbox folder to the PSP folder. <--if you don't do this, the file navigator won't load.
Installing a game:
In this example we'll install Wolfenstein 3D to the memory stick.
1. Copy the game folder to PSP/dosbox/
2. Go into the game folder and create a file named start.bat.
3. Open the file with a text editor and paste this into it:
@ECHO OFF
INPUTMAP up up
INPUTMAP right right
INPUTMAP down down
INPUTMAP left left
INPUTMAP triangle lshift
INPUTMAP square lctrl
INPUTMAP cross lalt
INPUTMAP circle space
INPUTMAP start enter
INPUTMAP select esc
INPUTMAP exec GAMENAME
4. Notice where it says GAMENAME. You need to change that to the name of the game's executable. In this case it's wolf.exe. It should look like this when you're done:
INPUTMAP exec wolf.exe
5. Now just save it. Repeat these steps for every game you want to install. Each game has to have its own start.bat file.
Starting a game:
1. Open DOS box on your PSP. It should automatically load the DOS Navigator. If it doesn't, refer to the installation instructions above.
2. In the navigator, use the analog nub to move the mouse and press the R shoulder button twice to double-click and open things. Now just navigate to the game's folder and open the start.bat file you made earlier. DON'T open the exe, or the controls won't work.
That's all there is to it. ;)
In addition to the tutorial above, you can edit the dosbox settings (including frameskip, mouse sensitivity, PSP clock speed, audio settings, and memory settings) by opening the dosbox.conf file found in the __SCE__DOSBOX________ folder in a text editor & editing the file. Fiddling with this can improve speed and even allow games to work that weren't before.
I'm very excited where this program can go. There's still a lot of room for improvement (such as improved keyboard support / ir-keyboard support, speed boosts, internal configurating ability & iso support), but CrazyC has done a fabulous job so far. Keep up the good work.

Kickin friggin arse! One must fall is running(sloooowly) as we speak. Telengard, 7 cities of gold, if only Chaos Overlords(1st gen 95) would run in dos i would be nearer to heaven.
Everything works fine for me, except that the mounted dosbox directory on memory stick is read-only! The dos navigator program shows 0 kb as available, so it's impossible for me to save and resume! Any help about this?
Is it possible to mount in that batch file the analogstick to a button?
Tried HOMM - crashes with an error at loading :(
I'm wondering the same. Also wondering if the L and shoulder buttons can be mapped as keyboard keys. Maybe they're reserved for the mouse?Quote:

I believe that the shoulder buttons are mapped I read somewhere...... though it will disable mouse clicking usage if you do this:
INPUTMAP rtrigger (keyboardvalue)
INPUTMAP ltrigger (keyboardvalue)
Also standard batch file commands work, so there really isn't too much of a need to:
INPUTMAP exec GAMENAME
You could just put:
GAMENAME
with or without extension so long as it is a com or exe file.
Tracked it down seems that analog button also can be mapped to mouse or joystick and the button 1 & 2 in mouse or joystick to something else.
It'd be something like this I imagine:Quote:

Is anyone having problems with games not accepting the enter key?
I've ran into two games that won't start because it doesn't reconize enter:
Catacombs 3-D (Abyss) and Super Fighter
Firstly, greetings to all forum people ;)
And now, my questions/comments:
Me. When I try to start game in Baryon and when I wanna skip the config in Jill Of The Jungle to play.Quote:
Is anyone having problems with games not accepting the enter key?
In addition to this, I checked Prince Of Persia 1. It works ok, but the movements controls doesn't work in spite of using the control config file (the .bat file). It's a little weird that Prince 2 works the controls and Prince 1 doesn't work it.
Also, I checked another games like UFO: Enemy Unknown, Heroes Of Might And Magic I and Pinball Fantasies. In UFO works only the intro because after the intro, it crashes. HOM&M I crashes. Pinball Fantasies works well but when I start a game, it crashes.
It's obvious that this emulator has to improve but I think it's a great step for dos emulation in PSP. Congratulations for CracyC ;)
Yeah, I can't start a new game on One Must Fall: 2097 because the enter key isn't recognized.Quote:
