The boot sector gets confused when the formatted geometry doesn't match the BIOS geometry. If you use the -size parameter to imgmount, with the parameters you created the image with, it should work. I'll try to come up with a solution for the automatic calculation when I get a chance. |

Hi,
Is there any way to map button _combos_ to a certain keypress?
Like, if I want to map "ltrigger + up = UP (keyboard)" is it possible?
I looked around a lot, but couldn't find any info about this.
Thanks, and awesome work here! :) |

so, i just got my targus keyboard in the mail, but i can't get it to work with dosbox. i've been messing for over 2 hours now.
i'm running 3.52 m33, pikey 0.3, the keyboard works in vsh and retail games, but i can't get it to work in ANY homebrew apps. (not even in CTRL mode)
for dosbox, i have the keymap ini files, and my pspirkeyb.ini looks like this:
| Code: | [KEYBOARD]
mapfile_dir = 'ms0:/PSP/GAME150/Dosbox/keymap';
# change this to your needs
map = 'default.ini';
# change this to your needs
keyboard = 15 ; |
i have tried out of the "game" folder, tried using the targus-include.ini.
i tried deleting the pikey output plugins. nothing works.
i can change my CTRL mode mappings to control the VSH with different keys, but every single homebrew i've tried hasn't responded to the keyboard, so i don't think it's dosbox that has the problem, but something else about my configuration.
anybody have any ideas?
thanks |

| Try it with pikey off. Pikey is for programs without direct keyboard support, and I think it locks the keyboard for itself while running. Programs using pspirkeyb directly don't need pikey. Dosbox works fine for me with the targus and palm without pikey active. |

For pspirkeyb, I put the stuff into seplugins, not seplugins/pikey (actually, it's in BOTH to make both work).
pspirkeyb.ini
| Code: | #
# pspirtty keyboard driver
#
[KEYBOARD]
mapfile_dir = 'ms0:/seplugins/keymap';
# change this to your needs
map = 'targus.ini';
# change this to your needs
keyboard = 15;
# number of calls that fail to return a new key before last key repeats
delay = 50;
# number of calls that fail to return a new key between key repeats
rate = 10;
##############################
# possible "keyboard" values #
##############################
#
# 0 - NO keyboard
#
# 1 - Compaq/HP foldable keyboard
# 2 - Snap'n'Type
# 5 - HP Slim keyboard
# 8 - Belkin IR (not IrDA)

# 10 - Benq G250 gamepad

With the keymap directory in 'ms0:/seplugins' along with the 'irkeyb.prx' file. |

-after boot dosbox doesn't detect any cdrom drive mounted with either imgmount or regular mount.
-after boot dosbox doesn't detect more than 2 imgmounted hard drives.
-dosbox doesn't save the img (read only???).
-dosbox can't save when using a txt editor.
-some read/write error with the CS:IP (w98 has a hard time because of that I need to put the serial one to directserial in order to boot w98. |

excellent. this made it work! although i don't have the irkeyb.prx file and have no idea where to get it (couldn't find it anywhere).
unfortunately my targus has the delay that some people have complained of...
also, how the heck do i use F-keys? i've tried changing the ini to no avail |

You'll find the latest pspirekyb here: http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=9599
I haven't gotten around to adding the keyboard in the diff file later in the thread as it was apparently made from the repo pspirkeyb instead of the one in the thread, so I have to add that by hand.
Many devs are still using old pspirkeyb libs when compiling their code. The repo is old - corresponding to pikey 0.3. The lib in the zip in the thread corresponds to pikey 0.4 - one of the changes was to the targus driver (and hama driver). Some folks are still using the REALLY old pspirkeyb made when the devkit they are using was put together (that's the problem with devkits). If they are using the statically linked library, they'll be using the old code no matter what is in the seplugins directory.
BTW, you'll find irkeyb.prx in pspirkeyb-080105.zip/pspirkeyb/pspirkeybprx/.
BTW2, the pspirkeyb in the zip fixes the install problem the repo pspirkeyb has (permission issue because it was trying to copy the .svn directory to the sample directory). The way I install the libraries:
Run the libraries.sh script. When it fails (and it should when it hits the repo version of pspirkeyb), then do make install on my pspirkeyb from the zip above to get the latest pspirkeyb installed, then run libraries.sh 16 17 18 19 20 21 to get the rest of the libraries after the keyb lib. |

That's odd - when I tried to run patch using that diff on the source in the archive in the thread, it completely bombed out, giving errors all over the place about conflicts and not being able to handle hunks and whatnot. |

irkeyb.prx is the shared library version of the keyboard drivers. Most programs use the static library - the keyboard support is fixed at compile time, so updating the pspirkeyb stuff in seplugins won't have any affect for programs that compile in pspirkeyb. For those programs, you need to bug the author of the program to update his libraries (and in some cases, the whole toolchain). |

Hi guys, quick question regarding dosbox (hope this is in the right place).
I'm trying to get Ultima 8 running and am being told by the application that "Files=15!, please set Files=40 in your config.sys"
Comparing .conf files between my PC (on which u8 runs) and my PSP doesn't show any obvious setting difference.
Is there anyway to incorporate Files=40 into my PSP's .conf file? |

It's meant to be processed as part of config.sys not autoexec.bat
Files is an unrecognised command and can't be used under autoexec.
Thanks for the offer of help though. |

I don't want to start an argument (again), but have u ever thought about the possibility that if sth. doesn't work it is ur OWN fault and not that the application doesn'T support it? ...
Win98 has already been successfully run on DosBox ... so if it runs on other ppl.s DosBox4PSP and not on urs ... hmm, is it the apps fault? *irony*
If u can'T write to the image (like u said if u want to save a txt file), it is AGAIN not the apps fault! U just have to use WRITABLE images ... it's kinda complicated, I know ... took me some time, but believe me, it WORX! |

I can't add support, this would have to be fixed upstream. You can ask the dosbox developers, but the first is very difficult and unlikely to happen, and the second (win98) is beyond the scope of the program. With win3.1 (not win95) if you run it from the dosbox shell instead of booting DOS you can see the mounted drives.

| Quote: | | Is there anyway to incorporate Files=40 into my PSP's .conf file? | This is discussed earlier in the thread, because of limitations of the psp memory stick driver, any app that wants to open more then about 9 files won't work unless you use a disk image. |
