Homebrew Dosbox .conf and .map files collection for Wiiflow

[pedro702]

I managed to get Dungeon Master (a personal favourite) working great using the WiiMote as mouse as well as horizontal D-pad for quicker movement.

The mouse emulation (invisible wall) issue on start up, seems to correct itself after much waving of the remote at the TV. I guess it's self-calibrating or something?!

yeah this happens to me alot dont know why, wiimote gets stuck like there is a wall on several games, if you use an usb mouse it never gets stuck, the weird thing is control F1 on the mapper its not stuck while in games it gets stuck by invisible walls for some reason.

How many cycles are you using? Maybe you could try increasing them a little.
I don't have Dungeon Master, but for the Eye of the Beholder games I've used these mappings:

I'll have a play about with the cycles but like I said it DOES self-correct itself after a bit of a waggle. (It's just borked on start up).

I originally figured it might be to do with the resolution of the game but like you said there's so much fiddling about needed.

Thanks for the WiiMote suggestion but I've got so used to recently playing the PCEngineCD version (Theron's Quest) that I now like the horizontal WiiMote for movement. I'll post the map file when I get it perfected.

 

[pedro702]

Can confirm both.

im quotting you because you probably know this since you coded homebrew on wii, how many free mb does the wii have for homebrew? i remember being 20ish?am i wrong? i want to know what is the max i can put in memory on dosbox.

For the kind of DOS games emulation that can be done on either Nintendo consoles, 16 is more than enough, don't go overkill just for the sake of it. You're not going to run Windows 98, after all.

A little update:
I've managed to run a few demanding games at reasonable speed on Wii.
- Alone in the Dark 2 is very close to full speed and definitely playable.
- Heretic performances improve very much if you patch the main exe with Dos32a. It now runs at playable speed at 12500 cycles, but it's still not full speed and it will stutter a little when there are many enemies on screen. However, being a Doom-like game, I'm impressed with these results. I'm also very happy because the excellent source port is not working with Wiiflow.
- Hexen is similar to Heretic, just a little bit slower. TBH this is not really enjoyable.
- Ecstatica doesn't like dos32a, but it's playable from start to finish with Dos4gw, even if there are some stutterings.
- Warcraft: Orcs & Humans is working good with Dos32a and plays very well with the Wiimote as a mouse.

So, now I'd like to unleash some Dos power on you!
Here is a little tutorial to include in your .conf files a very simple menu, where you can choose to launch the game, launch the game setup (to install the game or to configure sound), patch the main exe with dos32a, undo the dos32a patch (in case the game doen't like it), and close the game.
To make your choice you simply press 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 on the Virtual keyboard.
I really like this approach, because you can do everything you need with just a single .conf file per game and your controller, without the need of a real keyboard or a PC.

So, let's start over. I will use the game "Heretic" as an example.
In this example I assume that the game files are in usb:/DosBox/games/heretic
This game requires that you patch the main .exe replacing Dos4GW with Dos32a. This will give you better performances on Dosbox.
Download the latest Dos32a package from https://dos32a.narechk.net/index_en.html
Extract the archive and copy it inside the game folder (usb:/DosBox/games/heretic/dos32a)
This is the code to paste in the autoexec section, at the bottom of the .conf file.

nice but dont hexen and heretic got a native source port on wii? i think so, also with wiiu overclock you can even get star wars dark forces fullspeed, and im guessing wiiu overclock would help with those games you got there if you had a wiiu instead of wii

Btw i got terminator rampage(needs cycles max) running fullspeed(the game is abit junky but that is how it performs on every cpu even i think the game was programmed with awful framerate no matter the cpu power it just inst smooth.

If you can ever find a a way to make terminator future shock or skynet run better specialy indoors let me know.

im happy i can play dark forces on wiiu now fullspeed max details and max screen size, such great game imo.

As I said, the sourceports are not working on Wiiflow so it's like they don't exist for me.
See it like this, I'm the creator of Rhapsodii Shima and the new Plugins Pack, it took me more than 2 years of work and headaches.
My Wii boots straight up to Wiiflow and I refuse categorically to use any other launcher. So no WFL support means no game for me.
Heretic is really enjoyable on Dosbox, and you can't even remap controls on the source port.
You also didn't get the whole point with the tutorial. Heretic was just an example, you can alter the autoexec part to suit any game that needs it.
About Terminator or Darkforces... do some researches to see if they're using Dos4GW (internally or externally). If they use it, chances are that you can increase performances alot replacing it with Dos32a.
This tutorial is only covering the internal patching of the .exe, I will cover the other method too.

i already use dos32a and it made little diference tbh for me.

 

[Tetsuo Shima]

Usually if the game actually boots with Dos32a, you get a noticeable performance improvement. Is there a file called Dos4gw,exe in your games folders? If it's true, you can simply replace it with dos32a.exe renamed to dos4gw.exe
If there's no such file, but when the game is launching you can see a Dos4gw message on the dos prompt, then you have to use the internal method that I posted.
With Dos32a you can sometimes use memsize=64 in your .conf (not with Heretic though, but I've read it works for Blood). This will give a substantial performane boost.
Unfortunately, not all dos4gw games can work with dos32a, but if they don't they refuse to start at all or (in Ecstatica's case) the game will have messed up graphics. But when it's starting ok I could always see an improvement in speed.

Ah on a separate note: point and click adventures are also working very good. I'm enjoying Darkseed at the moment, a game unsupported by ScummVM for reasons beyond me.
I'm also using Dosbox to play the EGA version of Monkey Island, my favourite one for nostalgic reasons. It's working in ScummVM too but they couldn't remove the copy protection because of stupid Lucas Arts (c'mon LA... it's 2021! Why you agreed to remove the copy protection from all your VGA games except for an inferior 16 color version? Now, THIS is really stupid!).

i will try with 64mb thing since i did replace the dos file already and renamed it to correct thing.

Dark Seed is not supported, it's not present in the supported games list. It's not working on PC as well

 

[niuus]

Shame it isn't supported on ScummVM yet. Now i remember how i played it on the Wii: with WiiSXRX.

BTW, just so you are aware if you're looking for it in the future, at least Dark Seed II was indeed being worked on for ScummVM, though they seem to have stopped development for the engine in 2014.

Hey, I tried System shock, theme hospital and star wars dark forces with dos32a, massive improvement; simcity 2000 and syndicate crashed after a few seconds with dos32a. I could play some of simcity the some green letters appeared in the upper left, and syndicate crashed after selecting between syndicate wars and amercian revolt with this message:

Audio initialization failed.
Error type 10 code 5

Game failed to start under DOS32A with this error

I tried to play tim, tim 2, zed, sim farm by having the dos32a.exe file in the same folder as the game executable (tim.exe, tim2.exe, zed.exe, simfarm.exe) and putting these lines at the end of a bat file (thats how i apply diferente configs for my games):
dos32a tim.exe (this works in system shock, theme hospital and swdf),
I get this error: DOS/32A fatal 3003. File tim.exe does not contain any valid exec format.
I also tried using @Tetsuo Shima instructions but I cant get to the launcher, the game just starts with dos4gw

Thanks for your report @NiteOwl I can't remember, are you on Wii or Wii-U?

I get this error: DOS/32A fatal 3003. File tim.exe does not contain any valid exec format.

If you post your [autoexec] section I will try to help you with the dos32a patching. Does tim stands for The incredible machine?

@Tetsuo Shima Im on wii, im running system shock with 9684 cycles, 3 frame skips and high res graphics (in game configuration, low, high and max graphics), it runs a little slower than what iv seen in youtube videos, and a little choppy because of the frame skip, so far thats the best configuration ive tried, also some slow downs in the music.

, maybe tim.exe is not the main executable?

 

[niuus]

Also can anyone check how fast Mortal Kombat Trilogy runs?

If you had searched for the PC requirements for that one, you would have immediately known . But i can tell you: not gonna happen, you need a Pentium processor. The only possibility for that full game to happen on the Wii would be a source port, like the one that leaked months ago.

Thanks for your report @NiteOwlDoes tim stands for The incredible machine?

I don't think so, as the game does not use it, and it is an exceedingly simple game to run and play without too much CPU effort. Just tested it minutes ago.

@Tetsuo Shima Im on wii, im running system shock with 9684 cycles, 3 frame skips and high res graphics (in game configuration, low, high and max graphics), it runs a little slower than what iv seen in youtube videos, and a little choppy because of the frame skip, so far thats the best configuration ive tried, also some slow downs in the music.
These are the bat files iv tried for tim (the incredible machine)

Ive done some research in vogons, came across this post

Spoiler: vogons

https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=39562

, maybe tim.exe is not the main executable?

Yes, in rare cases the memory extender may not be inside the .exe file. If the file size is only a few kb it's a good sign the extender isn't there.
However, as @niuus said, the incredible machine is not a Dos4GW game, infact there is no dos4gw prompt when you launch the game.
Here are some things to change in your .conf to speed up games (not only for tim, these are the best settings on Wii in general that can really make a difference in performances). The ones in bold are the most important settings.

output=surface --> output=overlay (ok not sure on this one, but it seems a little better to me)
priority=higher,normal --> priority=highest,normal (makes full use of the CPU)
machine=svga_s3 --> machine=vesa_noflb (this is not working for every game, but some games can improve a little with it).
frameskip=2 --> frameskip=0 (always leave it to 0, I've never had any benefit in using frameskips, in general it only makes things get worse).
scaler=normal2x --> scaler=none (now this is very important! Never use normal2x on Wii, it's not needed and you get a HUGE performance drop with it)
core=auto --> core=dynamic or core=simple (if dynamic is not good)
cycleup=10 --> cycleup=100
cycledown=20 --> cycledown=100 (if it's lower than 100 it's a percentage and it's difficult to fine-tune performance with it)
oplemu=default --> oplemu=fast
prebuffer=20 --> prebuffer=150 (this will make all sound hiccups go away, and you can further increase cycles with it, even 1000 or 2000 more)
joysticktype=auto --> joysticktype=fcs (this does not affect performance, but it's needed on the Wii to be able to bind keys to the D-pad, see this old post)

you can also disable some things you don't use, for example:
mpu401=intelligent --> mpu401=none
pcspeaker=true --> pcspeaker=false
tandy=auto --> tandy=off
disney=true --> disney=false

Not really sure if these last settings really make a difference, but I usually do it with the heaviest games.
