Dosbox - 1/06/2007 Update - DOS Emulator For PSP

***wraggster*** · June 1st, 2007, 00:52

Crazy C has posted a new binary/patch for the Dosbox - Dos Emulator for the PSP.

First heres the news from todays release:

This patch, when applied to dosbox 0.60 and linked with these library functions, arwin's p-sprint and SDL (with 8-bit surface patch), gets dosbox running on the psp.

I've also posted a new binary to really fix the bad video mode problem. The clever solutions didn't seem to work well and were fragile so I just copy the whole frame to a GU-acceptable buffer. There'll be a performance hit but it will only affect those few games which use unusual video modes. Also, support for 640x480x16bit mode was added although I doubt that any games which use it will run well.

Now this emulator isnt straight forward unlike most other emulators but please wait whilst our more experianced DCEmu members put the files together or at least tell you how to gather everything needed. Keep checking back and let us all know what games work. Remember only games from 10 years plus will work remotely good but hey Theme Park and the original Warcraft etc are that old so theres some fantastic games out there.

If any coders or mods upload a full package then please edit this newspost.

Exciting. The last version did not include a package, and I was never able to use it. However, If someone finds one I'll be able to try playing ultima underworld...

Hehe, I had a Mario DOS version with a virus in it once. Viruses won't bite on the PSP, though

It would be really great if someone could compile this to a runable binary so I can finally get to try it out. Old games are still the most original, and extremely entertaining. Thanks, and thanks for developing this, crazyc!
