Dosbox V0.7.0 Ported to PSP- Test Release - DOS Emulator For PSP

[Tesseract]

as long as you avoid numbers in your executables, its perfect

And avoid playing any games that require you to input a number, like... oh... just about most of the games folks would care about from the DOS era. (Civilzation can't even get STARTED unless you enter numbers.)

That was my main issue. I was looking forward to playing something like Fallout on my PSP, and was using Civ to test things out to see how they work. Heh... No Dice. I'm not even going to TRY Fallout with this setup.

An OSK shouldn't be too difficult to implement, and can go pretty quick once you get used to it. It would also cause an already grateful fanbase to hail you as a God Among Coders. The fact that DosBox uses the normal folder structure of the MS and not some disk image is beautiful. I'm already considering writing a bunch of Autoexecs to make launching favored games a tad easier.

But I can't get behind that until I can actually taste of the fruits of my labor. C'mon, CrazyC... Prove your worthiness of godhood!

So basically, you're defending something that requires you to memorize around a hundred different key combinations when you should be able to bring up an on-screen keyboard with a single button press instead?

last time i checked theres only 26 in the english language

idk which language you speak lol

well, it will be however the coder makes it. dont like it? cry some more. very disrespectful to demand a feature from the people who make it or say how it ought to be

and besides, who cant memorize 26 combos? we all know wut the human mind is capable of, and 26 is a very..... very small number

if you actually look closely, the key combos are strategically mapped so that r's or s's follow e's or other common letters easily

And avoid playing any games that require you to input a number

There's a lot more than 26 characters on a keyboard you know, plus you have to memorize how to capitalize stuff which basically doubles the number of combinations.

stop your pansy bitchin
its very annoying just to read it
sterist is right and im sure an onscreen keyboard will be released in the next version
if its true that the emu is now dynamically enable then
at least alone in the dark will run full speed

I did, and that's way more trouble than it's worth. Besides, even WITH the gif staring me in the face on my PC, I couldn't figure out how the hell to manage numbers.

'pansy bitchin'? No, no... That would be if I was saying something completely useless that didn't have anything to contribute to the thread. or if I was complaining that it didn't emulate WinXP perfectly or something stupid like that. Also, I don't think anyone who's had the balls to downgrade their PSP and risk bricking a $150 piece of hardware could be called a pansy.

If it annoys you to read valid discussion, then there are plenty of other forums on the web that would be much easier on your eyes. Otherwise, grow up.

question : whats the speed approximation on this, when i ran dosbox on linux it could barley run programs that my i386dx25 smoked

this was on a pc more than 6x faster than the psp and a gb of ram, which was a cupple years ago but im wondering if i wanna fuss with this

what would you all say? 286 386 486 pentium?

hope its half way decent i could go for some portable wing commander and space quest action

you tell them dog.
the author that ported dosbox to psp is doing a great job. i can't wait to try this new version.

wow Fuzzy's world of miniature space golf is working!!

but this dosbox version runs very very slow and no sound
I'll have to wait the stable version

does Ports of Call work on this?

Simultaneous pressing of keys does not work = (

I do not understand the nature of occurrence of this error on DN start:

Exit to error: DynrecCore: Illegal option in DYn_grp_eb
