Dosbox Binaries, Screens and More - DOS Emulator For PSP

**SpacemanSpiff** · June 19th, 2007, 21:18

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.

Well, I'll give you the one for Dungeon Hack, the thing is it is impossible to launch the eecutables directly as everything is tied into the batch file. Here is the batch file for Dungeon Hack:

@echo off
INPUTMAP up a
INPUTMAP right y
INPUTMAP down v
INPUTMAP left f1
INPUTMAP triangle up
INPUTMAP square left
INPUTMAP cross down
INPUTMAP circle right
INPUTMAP start enter
INPUTMAP select esc
set F=0

checksys 56 640
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto EXIT

if exist savegame\settings.dat goto CHECKDEMO
md savegame

:CHECKDEMO
if NOT exist OPEN.RES goto CONTINUE
aesop open opening

:CONTINUE
aesop hack phase-one
set F=1
if ERRORLEVEL 3 goto CONTINUE
if ERRORLEVEL 2 goto CHECKDEMO
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto EXIT
cd savegame
..\maze %1 %2
cd ..
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto EXIT

aesop hack phase-two
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto EXIT
goto CONTINUE

:EXIT
set F=

Any clue on how to use key bindings with Dungeon Hack ?

**jamotto** · June 22nd, 2007, 05:04

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

Code:

checksys 56 640

if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto EXIT

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.
