Bochs Ported to PSP, Use Windows 95 on your PSP

[Cross]

Def big news, I wanted a way to play some of my fav dos games. This is it. And windows 95 is fun to I guess but I think its time for a 1 gig memory card lol. Anyone want to buy my 512 card for 65?

[parabolee]

Ive tried a few dos games aka tomb raider 1
c&c red alert, system shock 1
and every time I got an I/0 error or it would freeze while loading the freedos...

DAMN that is three DOS games I completely forgot about! I would be very eager to hear if anyone managed to get one of them running and how well it ran.

ss1 and tomb raider should run fine if I can get real dos on it... as far as red alert I think it requires too much ram...

[NeoXCS]

Well actually Red Alert should work pretty good. I have the box right now and it says it needs only 8MB of RAM to run! So hopefully someone gets it running soon to tell us how it works. I would try but I seriously need a new MS. (Note the 8MB is only minimum requirements)

red alert, tomb raider... you call that old dos games...?

i was thinking about games like:
4d boxing, prehistorik, outrun, gold of the aztecs, commander keen, prince of persia.


lets say that this emu in comparison is like a 468 dx 33mhz... (and i think i'm exaggerating a bit) there should be no way to run tomb raider at a playable speed..

No unsigned applets on 2.0? So every european who didnt buy his psp from somewhere else will be watching foreign people do useful things that they cant do? Tomb Raider Command & Conquer Omg... well be happy you 1.5x people...

[PSP_Newbie]

thats right tomppa, only those with a 1.0 or a 1.5 psp can run ANY unsigned software on the psp; that rules out 1.51, 1.52, 2.0, and all future versions until someone figures out a hack for it. those in europe, etc, can still buy theirs from lik-sang or whatever its called and have it imported...for a fee of course tho.

Well actually I'm thinking its "at least" a 486/66 MhZ emulation. Just a guess of course. Which is good enough for Red Alert. But yeah I think Tomb Raider is just a bit extream to be run (Don't know the specs so correct me if im wrong!). Well I should dust off my old "The Elder Scrolls: Arena"!

agreed. games like tomb raider & red alert don't even really run well in dosbox on a 3ghz machine. i'm HOPING this thing is as fast as a 486 33.... can somebody please post reports of how fast DOS games are running? if i had a psp i would do it myself, but i'm still waiting to get my money back from the ****ar who ripped me off on ebay.

i wouldn't be so sure about that. try running a dos emulator on a fast computer, you will still find that even games from the 486 33 era don't all run perfectly. i think we will be LUCKY if the psp is even as fast as a 386
