Dosbox Binaries, Screens and More - DOS Emulator For PSP

[KeenCommander]

so this is a pc emulator right?

DOS (Disk Operating System) emulator, so technically it is a PC emulator, but only for really old things. DOS is what we had before Windows, just a command line for the user interface. It's actually about the most stable OS ever made , darn you Windows.

This is good news for the community if they can get things working at decent speed. Commander Keen 4 FTW.

this is all great and every thing but when will a downgrader for 3.50 to 3.10 come out?

Does anyone know if Discworld works on it at all?

[Goemon4]

(cant wait to test it)

This is really great, I agree! Dos games are, as I always say, still the most original and arguably fun games there are. I get a lot of memories just by hearing the word Dos. I'd better go and find some of my old games and try 'em out! Thanks a million for this.

gelon, thanks for the screenshots. A few of those are from Alone in the Darkness, right? I remember that scene vaguely, and that I jumped when a monster suddenly came.

That's totally off-topic, and no, no one knows when a downgrader for 3.10-3.50 will come out, if there ever will. It's not made automatically, you know. If any of our great hackers find out a way to downgrade them, they'll surely let us know right away, so just continue waiting.

How do I get this to load my Mario game?

this is so great! awsome work! i got wolfenstein 3d running ( Very Slow) if they could get dosbox running at something close to the specs of the psp ( 333 64mb) ext we would have some very very nice games to play!

Please don't post off topic, and the answer for this is NEVER.

The effort wouldn't allow you to downgrade to 3.10, that would be ridiculous. However, any downgrading effort would make your psp return to 1.50 (psp gold). Then you would upgrade to whichever Custom firmware you choose.

As for your 3.50, please don't ask again. It will be out when it will be out. I expect 6 months, but it may not come for a year or more. Just put your 3.50 on the shelf and forget about it (that means no more upgrading).


As for the dosbox emu, I know that many older games run pretty much full speed, Airborne Ranger runs very nicely, and Ultima Underworld runs about 25% speed.

If you set keyconfig .bat files, playing more complicated games is possible, especially games like Ultima Underworld.

I think dosbox is already running at 333mhz, but I haven't checked things like frameskip (which dosbox has) and up-ing of the CPU cycles. I don't know how.
