Dosbox Easy Navigator

Download here: http://consoles.gdteam.net/download.php?view.11

Information:
This package allows you to autoboot the dos navigator, so you wont have to typ every command over and over to reach a game or something.
It also contains 4 cool freeware dos games and keymapping files so you can play the games instead of using the virtual keyboard to move/shoot/ect.

This package contains:
A readme.txt(i recommend all people to read it first)
Dosbox.(well, without this you could do nothing...)
Dosbox editted configuration file.(for booting the navigator, cpu speed 333mhz, and more)
Dosbox Navigator(for easy browsing through dosbox)
4 cool dos freeware games(2 rare games you wont find on the internet that fast)
Keymapping files for some games(read the readme for more info)

Credit goes to Murdock, and me...:)

Hmm, sounds good.
Before I start messing with my current (stable) Dosbox tho, I'd
want to be sure that this Navigator version isn't a SWP-Spawner.

a SWP-Spawner???
lol, the newest release is included...
Its very stable here, but im not using commands and stuff, only playing games with it.

THANK YOU! The only reason holding me back from a combo of DOSBox and www.abandonia.com is the crazy keyboard layout..

LOOOOOOOOL :rofl:

When I started to read this news I just thought "bah! Old news .. I did this ages ago ..."

But then I saw "credit goes to Murdock" ... :thumbup: ... and thought "Coooooooooool!" :cool: :D

But unfortunately, I wanted to have a look at it and check what u did, but "I don'T have the permission to download it" :( ...

Anyway ... I'll just believe u did it well ;) ... but u should hint to the fact that u needn'T have a *.bat Map-file for the keys every time ... bind the keys ONCE in the AUTOEXEC section of the dosbox.conf file and use the keycombo L-Trigger + R-Trigger + SELECT + DOWN-Arrow to switch between p-sprint method and the mapped keys ;)

Just a usefull hint!
You can also read this in my Manual ... I hope u added it to your package! :p


[EDIT] Oh, and I should add that this DosNavigator wasn't my idea .. I saw that s/o used it in a forum to make navigation through DOS easier, downloaded the latest version and added it ... so I just took up the idea ... Don't know if s/o cares ... ,aybe the one who inspired me ... whoever it was ... :)

"download error" ..
yeah, what I mean is , does it generate loads of .swp files in the DN folder for no obvious reason.

still, i got this from you murdock and youre the one that made this application useful.
without the autoexec and navigator and keys, it would have been a useless application.
so thanks:)
and the download will work once registered and logged in, sorry:p

I just use old fashioned IF, THEN code to allow me to choose from one of 6 programs (can be expanded to 12).

Here's the code I use (this has to be changed for your programs):

INPUTMAP triangle 4
INPUTMAP square 3
INPUTMAP cross 2
INPUTMAP circle 1

I use a similar code to choose between DosBox DOS emulation and "real DOS" emulation + WIndows 3.11 ... very handy! :) But for EVERY game another line? :eek: too much work for me!

What contructor game? Is it called "Constructor? Then I guess I don'T know it, yet.


@borgqueenx: Maybe u should either upload the file at another host (rapidshare or preferably megaupload) or allow non-registered users to download from ur site ... it's totally pointless to register only to be able to download one file!

u can now download it from pspupdates.com people;)

so one question, i got the emulator to work and i even played a bit of dune 2

but the emulator only emulates the mouse, i how can i make the PSP´s directional pad act like the arrow keys of a keyboard? you know basically how do i assign keys?

Create a .bat file, with these commands in it:

INPUTMAP up [keyboard button you'd press to go up]
INPUTMAP right [keyboard button you'd press to go right]
INPUTMAP down [keyboard button you'd press to go down]
INPUTMAP left [keyboard button you'd press to go left]
INPUTMAP exec [name of .exe you're launching]

Then double click that instead of your .exe. Go back a page to see some examples...

Its a swpspawner.
Nice work, anyway. I'd recommend this as the starting point for
anyone wanting to run DOSbox on PSP.
