Dosbox V0.7.1 06/08/2007 - DOS Emulator For PSP

[dgila]

MM/DD/YYYY is very confusing
the most logical way to write a date is DD/MM/YYYY

Great work this runs very well.
alone in the dark is very playable
Fuzzy's worl of miniature space golf is full speed without sound.
could anybody tell me how to make screenshots with dosbox on the psp?

I'm also wondering .. I downloaded gelon's eboot (thanks a lot!), and all I end up with is the command-line environment where I have to type commands using the difficult keyboard. Videos I see at YouTube show a file manager where you just click to open a file. Can anyone please help O-bake and me?

Thanks for the release and the newspost, and to gelon for ebooting it.

And about the date formats: I wish everyone would use the same format, but I guess it's too late to change that now. I prefer DD/MM/YYYY or DD.MM.YYYY. It's logical that you see the day before month. For everyone to understand, you could use 6 August 2007, 6th August 2007, or August 6th 2007.

Update: I found out that by default, you should have a folder named dosbox in ms0:/PSP/COMMON, which DOSBox mounts automatically when you boot the application. Here is what my DOSBox does when it boots:

Z:\>SET BLASTER=A220 17 D1 H5 T6

Z:\>SYSOPT clock 333
CPU clock is 333Mhz

Z:\>mount c: ms0:/psp/common/dosbox
Drive C is mounted as local directory ms0:/psp/common/dosbox

Z:\>c:

C:\>cd dn151
Unable to change to: dn151

C:\>DN.COM
Illegal command: DN.COM

Does anyone have a clue what to do?

You can mount your own folder.
go to dosbox.conf in dosbox folder and change it at the end of the file.
you can create a .bat file to map the keys for example:

mount c: ms0:/msdos
cd dn151
keys.bat

you have to put dn151 in ms0/msdos folder and inside dn151 you have to create the keys.bat file, this file is just a text file with this inside:

@ECHO OFF
INPUTMAP up up
INPUTMAP right right
INPUTMAP down down
INPUTMAP left left
INPUTMAP triangle 1
INPUTMAP square y
INPUTMAP cross space
INPUTMAP circle n
INPUTMAP start enter
INPUTMAP select esc
INPUTMAP exec DN.COM

You have to put the .bat inside dn151 folder
now you have a navigator and you can play games whith directional keys
There is a program called norton comander is another navigator for dos
is faster tham dn151

Thanks a lot for the help, dgila. I still can't get DOS Navigator properly working, though. I get a screen stuck like this:



Running M33 3.52-2 (I doubt that has anything to do with it, though). Any more help would be great.

A lot of people will probably be confused because I would assume that at least half of this site's visitors are Americans, and a lot of them are still in grade school (or at least they post like it) and therefore probably wouldn't know that Euros use DD/MM/YY instead of MM/DD/YY, so throw in the fact that 06/08/2007 is a possible date using either format because its early in the month, a lot of people might think this topic is old and end up ignoring it. I'm not saying that either is better than the other but when you use one format your whole life you'll probably think its better than the format that you're not used to seeing.

[kris threat]

So...I'm just wondering why there is an argument about date formats. Does it really matter which is better or which makes sense...for that matter does it even have anything to do with the release itself? I don't even pay attention to the date on the releases anyway...and I don't think anybody else does either. You just simply click a link cause you haven't seen it before or the topic catches your eye...if you're worried about the date of the thread more than the release or news its talking about then there is something wrong with you. I dunno...just my two cents.

What is the games already work in this emu ? DBase or clipper (for programer) work ? Thanks !

[Malremore]

the readme says to copy the dosbox into the ms base but I dont have a ms base on my psp. where can I get one??

Oh and I want to know if I convert it to an eboot somehow or if it is already in format.

P.S. Im running dark alexes 3.90 m33 firmware
