PSP DOSBox v0.71 Build 02.01.2008 - Dos Emulator for PSP

**aTomIC** · January 2nd, 2008, 22:53

New day, new release

. CrazyC released a new build of his famous port of DOSBox for our PSP. He wrotes:

I put up a new build which attempts to auto calculate the cylinder,head,sector values. The result should have a number of sectors just slightly less then the actual on the disk. Hopefully it will also be larger then the first partition, but if not it won't be terrible as dosbox only uses CHS for int 13h operations which very few apps use. In short, don't try to run fdisk from within dosbox. To do it run "imgmount <drive> msstor0: -t hdd -fs fat".

I don't understand CrazyC, too. But, i think he improved the hdd emulation because there were some trouble mounting an image.

Great stuff.

A very noobish question, I know, but I've mounted my Theme Hospital directory as CD-rom, now what command do I type to use it? I'm trying to get around the No CD error, as I obviously can't insert my CD.

If you can't get this to work, then try the Theme Hospital PSX game with Popstation.

I need help with controls for Alone in the Dark. Can anyone tell me how to assign the controls in the config?

No worries, I've got it working now. There's no music and the ingame animations are unwatchable, but it's still very playable. I'd just like to find out what benefits mounting to a CDROM or an ISO give, really.

You'd be better off using .bat file placed inside AITD's directory. Here's my .bat I'm using for Theme Hospital:
http://download.yousendit.com/4143609F531FE3C2

edit it using Notepad, change the function at the end of each line, as you can see I've used half the buttons so I could spell my name easily when starting Theme Hospital (you only really need the mouse buttons when playing Theme Hospital - which I've assigned to X & [] for ease).

button1 and button2 are the two mouse buttons, and if you'd like you can change R & L by using rtrigger & ltrigger. They're defaulted as the mouse buttons, with the joystick being the mouse itself.

Finally don't forget to change the final word to the name of the .exe your gonna be executing. As you can probably guess mine was hospital.exe

Now when you come to play Alone in the Dark, instead of launching the exe, launch the .bat which will map your buttons and then launch the game itself.
