Dosbox V0.7.1 10/09/2007 - DOS Emulator For PSP

keen dreams come between commander keen 3 and 4.
To show what graphics commander keen 4 will have

Anyways in commander keen 6 - aliens ate my babysitter(i love that game's name:rofl: ), there are passwords required to start a new game...

Commander Keen 6 was Aliens Ate My Babysitter. Keen Dreams was a crappy spinoff.

yeh, I just started Keen 6 and u r right ... it's not keen dreams ... anyway ... it stays the same ... there is no password needed to play it ... I don't know what kind of version u got, but probably a strange one, since no Commander Keen needs any passwords, as far as I know.

ehm .. no ... I just started a new game, no pass needed.

ok, I picked up the hint to get key mapping working from the .cfg ,
using the secret key combo.But INPUTMAPs from a .bat still
generate Dosbox errors.
Anyway , got Pinball fantasys kind of working
~found a massive speed increase by changing to
cycles=auto
instead of =sync.
still feels like playing in zero-g tho.
any suggestions for maximum possible speed configs welcome.

Tell me in what games you've ssen the speed increase ... what was running a lil slow that runs better now?

I've been meessing around with those lines, too, but I had no success in getting more speed

Someone claimed to have gained a speed increase setting cycles to "max" in warcraft, but it slowed down Dos Commander and Warcraft kept running at about the same speed for me.

[EDIT]: So I've just tried to set it to auto instead of sync ... no speed improvement for games which do not run at full speed for me ... Space Quest 5 didn'T get any faster, just like Lords of the Realm 2. I might try some others, but I am pretty certain they will have the same result: none

the game's Pinball Fantasies.
Loading time reduced from 5mins to 20secs.
In game speed ×3 or more.
(good,but still not quite quick enough tho)

*EDIT: strangely seems
to run faster at cpu222 ?*

BTW noticed a ref. to 'mapper.txt' at the start of .cfg ..

hmm, well then try other games and see whether this is working with them, too. download Space Quest or Warcraft and tell me if you see a change in speed with your two different settings.

Maybe those things r working with some games, but the majority is not affected I suppose, unfortunately.

murdock, can you please try to get pinball dreams 2 running well with a nice keyboard layout?
if you can give it a try, il give you commander keen 7+the bat file for the psp, its continuing the storyline after keen6
ofcource its a unofficial version but you wouldnt say it if you played it.

Okay, I'll try to get that game and do a bat file for it. But it might be Monday until I can post sth. about it here. It#s weekend and my girl needs some attention

[borgqueenx]

and what should i typ in a bat file to assign a psp button to the F5 keyboard button?
(nessacery to save the game in keen 1, 2 and 3.)

I did what you wanted took me some time, but now I've set it up well I think.

They keys might appear a little unsorted at the first glance, but I think it makes sense.
To ensure that u get my bindings I also added two pictures, made with Photoshop, which explain what PSp buttons does what in the game.

I hope you like it. UNfortunately, uploading games isn't allowed here I think. So go to whiteone's forum, in my thread, there's the game:
http://forum.whiteone.us/viewtopic.w1?p=9072#9072

I've also added Pinball Dreams 1, ready to play for you with the same key mapping.

The only thing you MIGHT want to make is setting the sound in the setup of the game. I noticed that in the title screen, the midi sounds are there, but the "normal" sound during game is missing. Just set it up in the setup.exe (or install.exe, I don't remember atm). Have fun!

pmmed you with keen7, and bio menace to add to your collection
thanks for doing that for me:thumbup:

Performance of SQ2 & Navigator made it clear
that sync is faster than auto.As you guessed,Murdock,the problem
is specific to Pinball Fantasies.
Sync crashes in PF low res, Auto copes, but only at 60% speed.
Both struggle with sound emulation.

After much booting,tinkering,configging (& playtesting!) I've
achieved near FULL SPEED with lagless IN-GAME MUSIC & SFX.
Not perfect,but very playable.
