Homebrew DOSbox with USB fixed

[Ape8000]

The current DOSbox-wii does not properly support USB. This patch fixes that. It is based on the latest wii source r115 which is based on Dosbox r3778.

It will use the \DOSbox path on whatever drive \apps\dosbox-wii is installed.

here is the dol along with the source patch if needed:

Thanks man, 'll try it out 2day
can the dol be on SD while the files on USB 10x

can the dol be on SD while the files on USB 10x

Yes you still can, but it will still create a /DOSbox directory on the SD card it is run from. Then you just use the mount command to add the USB folder as a drive.

mount d usb:\my_dos_folder

The purpose of this patch is just to stop dosbox from crashing on a fresh USB install with no SD card.

FWIW, the patch has been added to the official dosbox-wii source tree. So the dol I suplied is the most recent version of dosbox-wii.

All what I'm gettin is folder does not exist
I used:
mount d usb:\dosbox
mount d usb0:\dosbox
mount d usb1:\dosbox
mount d usb2:\dosbox
also mount d : usb:\dosbox (no space obviously)
my dosbox folder is on 1st fat32 partition set active!

Should I only run dosbox via HBC? I'm using a channel forwarder.
never mind it is / not \

Working great as expected - maybe faster too 9just saved 100 MB of SD space )
Thanks again
