Dosbox to Dreamcast?

[Hola]

Technicolly you if you could get dos working well enough you could use one of those old file browser apps for dos so its more user friendly than comand promot. They were like the predesores of windows. Plus they're much better than windows 3.1

[Cap'n 1time]

Just a thought, your could probably then ftp or whatever info across, if you had a client that could do that. But i think linux has already done that, and if you have the coder cables it wouldnt matter much.

I was just remembering that some guy made a xbox bootable windows 3.1 disk based on either bochs or dosbox. it was kind of cool, but it probably ate alot of memory.

Ah, playing mine sweeper on the xbox is quite an experiance.

This is amazing !!!!.... I'm very interested in this. Please keep in touch with compatibility, files needed and a tutorial (if it's possible).

Thank you ;D

I'll second the Uhmm.. Ok..
Here's the link to the PC version, needs SDL.DLL
It's the bare minimum of emulators it barely
emulates a PC/PCjr at best

http://www.digger.org/bhole.zip

suggest people download it and see if they can
run other stuff with it..

So far most stuff fails on the unemulated
devices on the lower ports, and a few odd
interupts.

so far (that don't bail out)
Cenripede CGA works w/corruption (can't start needs f1)
Transylvania hangs on intro

This is really amazing and cant wait to see a release on this project

the bad news is that Bhole was released 8 months ago and there has been no news since, so it might be a dead project......but if u look at the web stats, the interest in the project has only picked up in the last 2 months...

i figured id give a bit of an update: ive been trying to get a menu system implemented and by tomorrow should have it working. other than that, i have been fiddling around other parts of the code, and from what i see it seems amazingly fast yet very incomplete. I have never seen code look like this before. Once I get a menu working, there will be 6 different settings: file to load (from CD), video_page_flipping, cga_low_res_mode, int9_as_irq, int1c_as_irq, direct_mode3. The emulator is well documented so I generally know what these mean, but Im not sure. It has pre-programmed settings for 6 different games, but that is all. These settings determine how it runs and all. The one thing I dont understand at all is how/why controls are not working well for me. I can start a game (of round 42) but then cannot play it. It runs as if i were playing, but am unable to control the action.

All in all its buggy, needs work, is pretty much dead on the PC side, but will be able to run who knows how many older games, and is very fast. Oh, and it is theoretically emulating a 386 cpu, which is quite good.

I am not trying to stop you from making this emulator but i am checking to see if anyone else would want to look at others that i find cause they may have better compatibility and may be possible to port to dc so here are the list of sites:

http://www.dosemu.org/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freedos/

All i could find and i hope this doesnt dissapoint anyone or i get rude feedback its just some help

At least freedos has assembly in it, making it unportable. Right now I am having problems with the menu Im making. If anyone thinks they can help, i posted to problematic code here http://www.dcemulation.com/phpBB/vie...=565093#565093. Thanks.

HA HA lol i told you man i dont know about this porting and making stuff for dreamcast i am just a lousy ol reviewer
