I'm sorry, maybe I'm wrong, but Im Back!, you've just copied n pasted the entire DosBox.conf sectiom of your "tutorial" from the file, right? ehm ... that doesn't contribute in any way to actually understanding what these things mean to a person who has never dealt with DosBox ... furthermore, you've copied the DosBox.conf of your PC version ... there are functions listed which aren'T actually in the DosBox.conf file crazyC. I am not quite sure about that point, but at least it's not the file CrazyC offers for download, which you are "explaining".

Your "installing windows" topic could e a "little" more detailed. I mean you just leave out some steps of installation because they are familiar to you. But a "noob" (I actually hate this word ... kids call others like that rediculous!) or let's say inexperienced person will supposedly never understand that.

Oh, and another thing ... check your spelling b4 u publish sth. Don't u have Office? :) let it do a spell check ;)


And another thing: Why don't we take our manuals together? It's just dumb doing two seperate things! double the work with less of a result. Maybe you can redo your Windows Installation maual and I'll add it to the PDF file? how about that? Giving credit 2 u of course. I can even add an e-mail adress of you or website, whatever you like.

Greetings!

Here's a quick clean up of Im Back's Tutorial

Like Murdock said, the dosbox.conf file shouldnt need to be all pasted, just bits that the people know about.

Anyway I have decided to link it off site to keep the post neat.

You probably have screwed it up again -_-

I was going to add my little keyboard model but yeah I cant find it

I don't know if any1 cares, but this is my latest pdf manual for DosBox. I added a simple "contents" section at the beginning and linked the main titles to the chapters.

Makes browsing throught the file a little easier :)

Advantages of THIS release:

- I tried to explain as explicit as possible
- Pictures added to illustrate what I'm explaining (rookie friendly ;) )
- easy browsing through the sections
- other minor advantages ... but just my opinion.

I hope you like it. I also added DosBox and all the tools, so this is an AIO (all-in-one) rar-archive, including:

1. The manual 1.2, newest version
2. DosBox 10th of september release, compiled
3. DosNavigator added for easy browsing through the DOS files you've copied into x:\DosBox (see manual for further instructions)
4. elf2pbp3, compiler for elf files, including the latest release in elf format (for practicing)


here's the file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/56706485/DosBox_Manual_1.2___DosBox_0.71.rar

no pass needed to extract, read, etc.

Have fun with it :)


[EDIT] I inserted te wrong dosbox.conf file. Only one line was missing, but this line was the one activating keyhint. So I uploaded the package again, this time with the correct bosbox.conf file.

Hey Crazy, sorry for disturbing you, but how is it going?
All quiet on the western front? :D

I was just wondering whether u are working on a new release or you've taken a break :)

come on master, inform your fans about what you are doing atm ... ;)

[fourmyfriends]

Is there anyway that the psp could use the memory stick like a paging file? don't know, just a though

Hey CrazyC ...

I tried to get a game working for s/o and I'm kinda stuck:

1. How do I map multiple keys to one PSP button, e.g. CTRL + Q

2. How do I map the funtion keys, like F1 - F12

3. How can I map the shoulder buttons of the PSP ... I know they are ment as mouse buttons, but anyway, isn't it possible to map them with keyboard keys? If it is, what's the command for them .. I mean how do I adress them? lshoulder and rshoulder didn't work :(


Thx in advance!

[crazyc]

[Murdock]

Thx a lot CrazyC :)

I've figured out my error with the function keys already before u replied ... I wrote F1 in the bat file, instead of f1 ... dumb, I know ... but I wasn't aware this makes a difference :)

I already tried ltrigger and rtrigger .. it didn't work ... now it does :) maybe I also used capital letters ... thx again!

No key combos can be mapped to one PSp button? oh, what a pitty :( I thought s/o wrote it's possible. Anyway, that's not that important I suppose.

Thank you very much for everything! I hope we'll see another release in the near future :) I'll visit this site every day in the hope I'll find you having updated the release ;)

Greetings,

I've put up a new patch and binary that hopefully will fix your problem with switching modes. Also, you can now mount your memory stick as an hdd image to work around the psp fat driver limitation. Be very careful! For now don't try it with a memory stick who's contents you care about! Try not to remove the memory stick without unmounting it first. Do not insert another memory stick without unmounting the previous one! Do not mount the memory stick as an image and as an regular mount at the same time as there is a good chance you will corrupt it! Mount it using "imgmount <letter> msstor0: -t hdd -fs fat -size <parameters>". Win311 works with this if you comment out the blockdev and pagefile devices in system.ini.

I compiled the new binary and uploaded it to
http://www.emunews24.de/dosemus.html#sony%20psp257

Its tested and works well :)

[crazyc]

[fourmyfriends]

having trouble with the context of mounting the memory stick,
say I wanted my 1gig memorystick mounted as drive E,
could you give me an example of what this line would look like. I have tried using the line shown in the forums, however I recieve "the image must be on a host or local drive", I have tried playing with the context a bit, but can't seem to get it, an example of a working line would be awsome

Hi Guys.

I've been away from this topic for a while and wanted to ask if Dosbox already supports the PSP Slim? and is it able to utilize the extra 32 MB of RAM?

My decision to go for the Slim was pretty much for the extra juice DosBox can squeeze out of its added RAM, so as soon as I've heared it was hacked I went ahead and ordered one.

[narrus]

Dunno. I think that currently the Slim only supports user mode level homebrew (though I haven't looked into too hard in the last week or so). Not sure if DosBox needs kernel mode or not.

Easy way is to try it and see.

[Murdock]

[piposh]

The 1.5 kernel patch is only for the Phat PSP if I recall correctly, it's needed for the Phat PSP since firmware 3.60+ no longer has the 1.5 kernel.

I'm not a dev, but from what I understand, each software has to be compiled to use the 3.60 kernel instead of the 1.50 kernel, several homebrew apps have already been compiled and run on the Slim.

M33 have included an SDK in their release that devs can use to make their software Slim compatible, and I think they also have instructions on how to utilize the extra RAM.

Ofcourse I'm not demanding anything, but I'd be very happy if CrazyC will compile a Slim compatible version somewhere along the line.

you should be able to compile dosbox for the slim, no worries just change the makefile around to support 3.71 kernel
