How did you get sky roads working? I tried it and couldn't get past the menu screen. Can you post your bat file for me?
And have you tried the chrsitmas edition?
Also, for any Catacomb fans: I can get Catacombs Descent working with graphical errors...but Abyss doesn't work..and I am guessing then Armageddon and Apocalypse will share the same fate.
Hi all. Dosbox on the PSP is fantastic ! I notice that CrazyC has just today posted an update to the program on forums.ps2dev.org that fixes the Enter key problem, but someone needs to convert it to an Eboot. Apart from the games, there are also some cool other DOS apps that I have running on the PSP now, like a Chinese character learning program - cool ! Cheers, Chris.
I downloaded the patch, but when I tried to open it with Alphazip, nothing was in it. Can anyone else get it open?Quote:

tried running syndicate but it crashes during the intro... anyone else have any luck with it?
Darn...it looks like it is suffering from the enter glitch. Were you able to get the gz file that CrazyC osted to open? I still can't...it is driving me crazy.Quote:

For those of you with enter key issues still, check this thread:

HOMM2? I didn't even know you could run it in DOS mode, lol. How would you start it without the CD?
This emulator really needs a transparency keyboard as for the UAE psp porting.
In the meanwhile a clear guide to key binding is absolutely needed.
thx, gonna see if i can get fallout to work
What gz file would this be?:confused:Quote:

Hmm, either OMF: 2097 doesn't work just yet, or it's taking a very long time to start up.
Hi, can u tell me how to map space or how to jump in Mario?
Is there any attempt being made at moving to Dosbox .65 or higher? Or is the plan to just beef up .60 for the psp. Dosbox .65 and up supports win 3.11 and I doubt that the slowdown would be too much. Once the speeds are up, 3.11 is working, and IR keyboard support is running, I will be able to leave my laptop at home and will officially be running mobile with a PSP only, win 3.1 had some good office suits which can still be made compatible with OpenOffice and MSOffice. I love this little scrap of hardware. 3.11 is possible if the Dosbox is updated, Warcraft sucks up just as much ram as Win3.11. Also, I heard people had Xcom working with this.. I wasn't able to pull it off... any tips?
U can copy the cd on the memstick and mount it in dosbox as a cd.Quote:

Ok I seem to have a problem with warcraft.
It will load. But if i have sound and music going it gives me a bus error just before the intro to the race you chose. Then if i turn off music i get a bus error just before the starting menu shows up. If i just have music it runs fine. So im guesing its effects related but for the life of me cant figure it out. i have tride the demo and the full game with the same result.
Have had this problem sence the first eboot. if you need more info i should be able to answer.
I am a child of dos after all. lol
Thank you ahead of time.:D
How would I go about doing this? Do I have to create an iso of the disc? Or can I just copy the files that are burned on the disc?Quote:

mount d ms0:/psp/dosbox/dn151/homm2 -t cdrom
SYSOPT clock 333
c:
cd dn151\
dn.com
after that i run it from dn with heroes2.exe
so the homm2 directory has to go inside the dn151 folder. PSP:\dosbox\dn151\homm2 correct?
Damn, its gonna take forever to copy the CD over. This better be worth it!
YESSSS it works, thanks!
Quick question, what settings do I need to play music?
Anyone having mouse issues ?
The mouse moves by itself, which is terribly annoying when playing a game that requires pinpoint accuracy...
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Its a flaw with the PSP's joystick. It has no deadzone and oftentimes gets pushed from the center on its own. Only thing you can really do about it in DosBox is to turn down mouse sensitivity in the dosbox.conf file.
That's too bad...
Another issue I am having with some games:
if a game is using a .bat file to launch, I cannot bind buttons to arrow keys. I tried with Elvira Mistress of Darkness & Dungeon Hack to no avail.
I tried 2 separate .bat files, one setting up buttons & launching the second bat file that launches the game.
I also tried 1 .bat file with the button bindings after the echo off.
Either way, the game does not recognize the bindings. I don't have any problems if the game is launched via an executable .exe.
Any ideas what is going on ? If it is possible to get these games to run with the bindings, please post your batch file.
Thanks,
Loic
I would need to see the contents of the batch file your trying to run, but in most cases the batch file was just used to start a dos extender which is not needed in dosbox.Quote:

Any clue on how to use key bindings with Dungeon Hack ?
Well, I downloaded the demo of Dungeon Hack and set it up just like you did and the key bindings worked for me. The only thing I had problems with was the time it took for it to register a key press, in some cases it took almost a minute after hitting the psp button before anything happened on screen.
The only real difference between the demo I played and your batch file is these two lines don't exist in the demo
checksys was used to make sure the computer was fast enough to run the game, if not it would exit. You can take these lines out as they are not needed now.Code:checksys 56 640
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto EXIT
I haven't seen any mention of how to do function keys anyone know?
Still no dice with Dungeon Hack. I have the retail version of the game (still kept it after all these years) if that changes anything. At any rate, I have tried to remove the checksys & iferrorlevel lines to no avail. I guess I will have to wait for a different control scheme. Awesome emu otherwise.
Here is a basic template for bat files. This may help:
@ECHO OFF
INPUTMAP up <insert key>
INPUTMAP right <insert key>
INPUTMAP down <insert key>
INPUTMAP left <insert key>
INPUTMAP triangle <insert key>
INPUTMAP cross <insert key>
INPUTMAP circle <insert key>
INPUTMAP square <insert key>
INPUTMAP start <insert key>
INPUTMAP rtrigger <insert key>
INPUTMAP ltrigger <insert key>
INPUTMAP analog joystick
INPUTMAP select <insert key>
INPUTMAP exec <insert .exe, .com, or .bat file>
Hey, sorry about asking for help (sort of) in my first post, but has anyone managed to get Dark Sun: Shattered Lands running alright? I just tried, but the sound kind of lags and isn't very pleasing. On top of that, it doesn't seem to be very responsive; I move the analog stick and the cursor moves a couple seconds after, haha.
It might have been fixed with a patch, and I could just not know what the hell I'm doing =\. Still, help would be greatly appreciated!
sweet you got one must fall to work how did you install it?I got emulator and placed the game in the dosbox and installed omf but trying to figure out how to play it?Quote:

Anyone here that might be able to help me out?
Thx in advance ...
I'm sorry for bothering you but I can't get HOMM2 to run on my psp. I made a batch file that does run correctly, but when it tries to execute HOMM2 the response is: win32 req. Do I really need windows on my psp to play it? If so, how do I install it? Please, any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. If possible, could you send instructions to me via email? Thank you for your time. My email is: [email protected]
Mr. Sheng: You just got the wron executable of HoMM2. You are trying to run the win32 version in dosbox, but HoMM2 also has a DOS executable (maybe not in your version of HoMM2 tho).
Thank you very much! I've been wanting to play this particular game ever since I heard of dosbox. Cheers!
okay, now I have a new problem. I have a dos version of HOMM2 and I linked a bat file to it. I try to run it and it responds with:
***command line help***
D0 - disable digital sound
M0 - disable MIDI music
R0 - disable redbook music
I0 - intro skipped
Example:
HEROES2D \R0 I0\
starts the DOS version of Heroes2 with rebook music disabled and intro skipped
When I try to execute the regular HEROES2.exe file it will run, but of course I can't play it without the input mapping. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. This is becoming quite frustrating.
