PSP DOSBox Build 24.9.2007 - DOS Emulator for PSP

[aTomIC]

Download the windows port of dosbox and set up the soundblaster settings like on your psp dosbox. Then, start dosbox (windows) and run the setup.exe of the game. Setup all parameters and save them. Now, you can play with sound on your psp.

I tried it on Jazz and it works. If you have any problems, you can send me an email to atomic(at)cgemulation(dot)net.

but are you sure you have your volume up? Also, in commander keen 1-3, there is no sound until you actually enter the game, there is no sound in the menus and opening, at least on the psp.

If you still don't have sound what config are you using? Try using Murdoch's config file he has posted a little earlier, that should give you sound.

yes, i have my volume up. like i said, sound worked with scream tracker and pc speaker games. i did go all the way in game on cc 1 and 2 before. no sound in game, when you are actually jumping.

and i used murdoch's file from the start. when it didn't work with the default settings is when i started editing the dosbox.conf to try things like disabling the gus and pc speaker, lowering the sample rate and increasing the buffer size, etc. none of it worked

sounds nice, but commander keen doesn't even have a setup exe, and i would hate to do this for every single game

i'm cursed i guess

sounds nice, but commander keen doesn't even have a setup exe,

I mean the setup.exe of the game Silverball, of course. In Command Keen, the settings will be set automatically, if you have correct settings in your dosbox.conf. I play only some old games on my psp, so i made a seperate dosbox folders with key settings.

I uploaded my Command Keen 4 with dosbox, configuration and game (shareware of keen4) and it works well on my psp with sound. I configured the keys as follow:

D-Pad for up, down, left and right
Select -> ESC
Start -> ENTER
Cross -> S (jump)
square -> Space (Fire)
circle -> D (Pogo)

Have fun and here the download link:

(unzip and copy the complete folder to your memstick like psp dosbox)

Have fun

You must set up every game in dos thats why dos are dead and windows so popular (no setup.exe )

no no, i was around back in 93 playing games on my 486, so i realize that you have to setup every game in dos, but i'm saying i would hate to have to set it up on the PC dosbox first, save the settings, and then copy it back to psp just for every single game.
so i tried your keen 4 packup and it works like a charm

i tried switching it out with keen 1 and sound still didn't work. i guess i just have some messed up versions of games. how is this even possible? i wonder what is wrong with them.

You don't have to copy back 'n' forth every time ... just go into the setup of the game you wish to play in DosBox for PSP ...

There's really no need to set up another DosBox on the PC ... except you've too much time to waste


I have all Commander Keens uploaded on rapidshare. Just sitting in front of my PSP playing Keen 6 ... BUT I just figured out that keen 2 has no sound either!!!
To be honest, I've only tried keen 1 and 2 for a minute the last time I copied it on my psp ... I prefered keen 5,6 and 7. 6 and 7 have sound, for shure! BUt the others ... I don't have time to test them atm ... so I'm gonna PM you the link to all the games, Keen 1-7, okay? Then you can test my versions ...

Would you like me to send you my keen folder. I have sound for all the keens and they all work beautifully.

[indstr]

that is all good and well, but it's still disturbing that it doesn't work on some copies of them. a dos game is a dos game is a dos game.... or so we previously thought. this port of dosbox must have some core problems

but good news is ... last night i tried out several games ... hocus pocus, traffic department 2192, omf2097, sound works on all :-D

in other news .... tyrian & xargon don't load

Hmm, that'd be kinda nice So I could try them, too and maybe I can figure out what's the matter.

And maybe you can upload your DosBox folder, too. Or do ya have my release? Then you can leave that

Upload it on rapidshare and send me the link via PM

hmm, of course is a dos game a dos game

But that doesn'T mean every dos game can run w/o problems on every computer which has dos as OS ... have u seen it that way? Maybe we've just set the wrong audio emulation? ... Who knows... we could compare our Dosbox.conf files ... I don't know whether ur using my version or some other version or whatever.

Anyway ... it also might be a problem of the game itself ... different versions of the game ... updated versions might run, others not, etc. ...

Thanks for all this great discussion about the dosbox settings! I was wondering if anyone has tried to get sound working using the gravis ultrasound emulation. I was interested in trying to get some old demoscene prods running. I tried Second Reality by Future Crew, but can't get it to recognize a GUS. It mostly works with SB, but there is a lot of sound stuttering. Apparantly, the GUS used significantly less resources than a SB (not to mention sound better), so I thought that might be a way to free up much needed memory for the demo. Any thoughts?

[Murdock]

Any thoughts?

My thought is ... upload it so we can have a look at it

What did u do to get GUS working? Correct settings in DosBox? I haven't tried to do this, since I thought SoudBlaster emulation is okay.

The stuttering might not be the problem of the soundblaster emulation. It's been an issue ever since CrazyC released it, I think But he has already tried to reduce it, with success I think. It's still there,but much less than at the beginning.
