Homebrew DosBOX Wii

[Levente]

There is a new update: r38. Please someone compile it.

I tried Descent_1 (which works on PC version of DOSBox), but get a crashdump instantly after loading...
I'd love to see this one on the wii...

Playing with the settings now...

[EDIT:]
Changed the DOS4/GW extender to DOS/32A and now it works... Slow, but it works :-)

Maybe this one helps with other games too, as DOSBox seems to have some issues with DOS4/GW

Download this http://dos32a.sourceforge.net/
and run sb.exe /r GAMENAME.exe. This will exchange the extender...

Thanks for that tip! I suffered the code dump, which really depressed me since Descent is one of the most amazing games ever on DOS. I just hate that it's so slow. Launching with "descent -320x240" seems to help, mainly it just makes the intro screens load much faster (Interplay, Parallax, those ones). But the project is young, so I'm just happy it works.

But hey, the music is much less choppy than on my PC, haha.

Push-Over (Ocean) works great on this /

Can't wait till somebody compiles the latest source into a binary

Uploading a short movieclip of it running on my Wii to YouTube.

[EDIT] Here it is:

r38

The home button does not work with this release, and there is still the annoying bug with the USB keybord. It does not recognise when you start DOSBox, you must reconnect your keyboard.

keyboard work fine for me

Can someone try if it runs Windows 3.11 (like the original DOSBox does)

Street Rod 2 is working. Sound works on Normal setting (PC Speaker) but not Adlib setting (Soundblaster, which is better). It works on Adlib setting when I run it on my PC using DosBox. Any ideas what I should check/change?

I wonder if Seventh Guest will end up running on the Wii. How BAD ARSE will that be?

Dune 2 works... sound is a bit broken...
edit: on loading with new version this craches on title screen

Warcraft works but slowly... probably needs the cycles to be set...
The Incredible machine works...
The incredible machine 2 works...

windows 95 img loads splash screen but then goes to black. i assume its the same thing as for windows 3.1

with 3 of the games i am having problems with the mouse it seems to get stuck in points on teh screen not allowing you to move around freely... after wiggling off and on the screen for a bit you can get to teh whole screen just kinda breaks teh flow ALOT. i dont know if this is a problem with the games or DOSBox as its happening in a few of them.

Theme hospital the intro video plays SLOWLY then black screen? maby just long ass loading time? i got fed up after like 10 mins...
Dungeon keepr, you can mount the iso correctly but it black screens on the setup
transport tycoon black screens on both the setup and on just running tycoon.exe
C&C just code dumps for me
feilds of glory black screens on setup

Do you connect your USB keyboard after you start DosBox Wii?

Hehe, thanks mate I figured it out just shortly before your post :-)

I have to start DosBox and afterwards I have to plugin the Keyboard. Doing so is the only way getting my old Logitech Cordless PS/2 model, attached through a PS/2 to USB converter to work
