Dosbox V0.7.1 10/09/2007 - DOS Emulator For PSP

[Murdock]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
that game list on whiteone's forum

becouse those games on that topic are soooo cool, i wanna play em on my psp

Are commander keen 4,5 and 6 playable by the way ?

ehm .. what?!

you can play those games instantly! Just download them (not telling you where ) and copy them to your psp.
If u've taken my release, copy them to x:\dosbox (this folder should already exist if you've installed my release correctly, put the folder of the game in there!)

Then, execute the prepared *.bat file, most likely called game_psp.bat (game = name of the game or an abbriviation of it) and u can play!

, could you please imput the danzeff keyboard or sony's own psp keyboard so i can type something easy?

What do you mean with danzeff keyboard? a ready-to-use on screen keyboard for psp apps? Or what? DosBox uses p-sprint for now! CrazyC already helped us by implementing keyhint! be patient until he releases a version with an osk if you don't like the temporary versions.

I've made DosBox as easy to use as possible. You don't even have to type anything in order to get the games working! If u are still not pleased, I am afraid you've just have to wait then ... sorry!

how do i run those bat files?

EDIT: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
I got commander keen 4, 5 and 6 working!!!

EDIT2: i got biomenace also running well now, i got one problem though, i want to run jazz jack rabbit but it doesnt start with the .bat file, but the .exe works, but then you dont have key mapping

Can you help me with that one, and i would like the normal jazz, not the christmas edition

[dangee]

The key mapping aint working for me . Dosbox says

Illegal command: INPUTMAP .

is this somethng to do with intro.prg ?

It doesn't matter which version u wanna run, Christmas or normal ... same problem, strange. In previous versions this problem didn't happen. But there's a solution:

If you've mapped keys already in the dosbox.conf file, these keys are remembered by DosBox. Threrfore, you can switch between the mapped keys and p-sprint. Have a look into the manual, the "secret combos" explain you how to do that :thumbup:


Nevertheless, if you really want to play Jaz Jack Rabbit, I think you should take the port of the game, especially made for the PSP. It's on the main page. It runs faster I think.

[borgqueenx]

the port of jazz jackrabbit for psp is not good, at some functions the psp crashes, and loading/saving is not possible.

Thats why i want the dos version.
Can you make a .bat file for me that releases all the keys, so that jazz jackrabbit creates new ones?
Only if that'l help starting the game.

But i dont want to use p-sprint for playing that game.

BTW: do you want the .bat files i made for running commander keen 4, 5 and bio menace 1, 2 and 3?

EDIT: Abuse uses a mouse to aim...are the controls of that game nice?(saw ur topic)
and 3d games run slow in the emulator

Oh, hmm, I didn't know that. What a pitty! I've downloaded it and tried it once, but only played for a short time. So I didn't notice these problems.

Ehm, I am not that shure what u want me to do ... you can not write a bat file "releasing" the mapped keys ... you write a bat file which tells DosBox which key is now mapped to which PSP button and that's it. If you execute another bat file, containing other information, like a new mapping of the keys, DosBox uses that mapping from that moment on.

So you cannot "release" keys, since it is not neccessary

What I was proposing was the following:

Add the following lines to your dosbox.conf, at thebeginning of the [autoexec] section IF they aren't there already:

INPUTMAP up up
INPUTMAP right right
INPUTMAP down down
INPUTMAP left left
INPUTMAP triangle d
INPUTMAP square lshift
INPUTMAP cross lctrl
INPUTMAP circle lalt


If they already exist, then everything is fine and you needn't add them again.

Now you can execute the *.exe file of Jazz Jack Rabbit. When the game starts, do the following:

Hit LSHOULDER + RSHOULDER + SELECT + DOWN-ARROW at the same time ... this is the key combo I explained in the manual. Which that you can switch between the mapped keys and p-sprint.

After you have pressed all of them together, you can play Jazz, use the PSP buttons as they are mapped in the bosbox.conf [autoexec] section!

But i dont want to use p-sprint for playing that game.

of course not, since this makes playing games impossible

BTW: do you want the .bat files i made for running commander keen 4, 5 and bio menace 1, 2 and 3?

thx, but it's okay. I've added bat files for Commander Keen 1-6 to all my ... ehm ... games ...

I don't have Bio Menace yet and I've never heared of it, but I'm gonna have a look at it. But anyway, creating bat files is easy as you know. To download them and copy them to where they belong is more work than just editing an existing one of my other games but thx anyway!

EDIT: Abuse uses a mouse to aim...are the controls of that game nice?(saw ur topic)
and 3d games run slow in the emulator

Abuse does not run at full speed yet. To be hinest, it runs pretty poor To make it playable, I've mapped the four buttons on the right side of the psp as the ARROWS of the keyboard. PSP's DOWN-ARROW is the button to select the weapons and the analog stick is the mouse. This mapping worx very well for me :thumbup: I only hope I can figure out how to tune DosBox to make abuse more playable because of the speed

maby you should search torrents for commander keen 6 without passwords, becouse you need passwords to play commander keen 6.
Take a look at it, and start a new game, you'l see

Keen 6 is Keen Dreams, right? ehm ... even though this is really OFF TOPIC, I got a version that runs well ... no password needed ... I don't know what you mean, sorry!

But anyway .. back to topic.

ok, I picked up the hint to get key mapping working from the .cfg ,
using the secret key combo.But INPUTMAPs from a .bat still
generate Dosbox errors.
Anyway , got Pinball fantasys kind of working
~found a massive speed increase by changing to
cycles=auto
instead of =sync.
still feels like playing in zero-g tho.
any suggestions for maximum possible speed configs welcome.

Commander Keen 6 was Aliens Ate My Babysitter. Keen Dreams was a crappy spinoff.
