I'm trying to run DosBox through Ginge on my Caanoo, but receive what seems to be a command prompt.


The message is this:


${DIRGAME}


Using Wiz version .70.4 (or something similar), that message appears for a second and rests to the GP2X menu.


If I use the GP2X version of DosBox, the message stays on the screen and will not allow me to exit.


My files:


CrimeFighter.gpe


#! /bin/sh


DIRROOT=/mnt/sd/dosbox


DIRGAME=${DIRROOT}/CrimeFighter


${DIRROOT}/dosbox -conf ${DIRGAME}/dosbox.conf


exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu


dosbox.conf


sdl]


# fulldouble -- Use double buffering.


# output -- Can only be Surface for the gp2x.


# sensitivity -- Mouse sensitivity.


# mapperfile -- File used to load/save the key/event mappings from.


fulldouble=false


output=surface


sensitivity=100


mapperfile=mapper.txt

fontcolor_back=0


fontcolor_frontsel=1


fontcolor_backsel=5


[dosbox]


# machine -- The type of machine tries to emulate:hercules,cga,tandy,pcjr,vga.


# memsize -- Amount of memory dosbox has in megabytes.


machine=vga


memsize=4


[render]


# frameskip -- How many frames DOSBox skips before drawing one.


# aspect -- Do aspect correction, if your output method doesn't support scaling this can slow things down!.


# scaler -- Scaler used to enlarge/enhance low resolution modes.


# Supported are none,normal2x,normal3x,advmame2x,advmame3x,hq2x,hq3x,


# 2xsai,super2xsai,supereagle,advinterp2x,advinterp3x,


# tv2x,tv3x,rgb2x,rgb3x,scan2x,scan3x.


# If forced is appended (like scaler=hq2x forced), the scaler will be used


# even if the result might not be desired.


frameskip=0


aspect=false


scaler=none


[cpu]


# core -- CPU Core used in emulation: simple,normal,full.


# Try simple first as this is the fastest, then normal and last full


# cycles -- Amount of instructions dosbox tries to emulate each millisecond.


# Too low and the game will crash randomly / not start up


# Too high and expect slowness


# Just right and you will get a nice speed boost


# 600-1200 ish seems to be about the sweet spot for the things I've tested. (older games)


# cycleup -- Amount of cycles to increase/decrease with keycombo.


# cycledown Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.


core=dynamic


cycles=1000


[mixer]


# nosound -- Enable silent mode, sound is still emulated though.


# rate -- Mixer sample rate, setting any devices higher than this will


# probably lower their sound quality.


# blocksize -- Mixer block size, larger blocks might help sound stuttering


# but sound will also be more lagged.


# prebuffer -- How many milliseconds of data to keep on top of the blocksize.


nosound=false


rate=22050


blocksize=512


prebuffer=10


[sblaster]


# sbtype -- Type of sblaster to emulate:none,sb1,sb2,sbpro1,sbpro2,sb16.


# sbbase,irq,dma,hdma -- The IO/IRQ/DMA/High DMA address of the soundblaster.


# mixer -- Allow the soundblaster mixer to modify the dosbox mixer.


# oplmode -- Type of OPL emulation: auto,cms,opl2,dualopl2,opl3.


# On auto the mode is determined by sblaster type.


# All OPL modes are 'Adlib', except for CMS.


# oplrate -- Sample rate of OPL music emulation.


sbtype=none


sbbase=220


irq=7


dma=1


hdma=5


mixer=true


oplmode=auto


oplrate=11025


[gus]


# gus -- Enable the Gravis Ultrasound emulation.


# gusbase,irq1,irq2,dma1,dma2 -- The IO/IRQ/DMA addresses of the


# Gravis Ultrasound. (Same IRQ's and DMA's are OK.)


# gusrate -- Sample rate of Ultrasound emulation.


# ultradir -- Path to Ultrasound directory. In this directory


# there should be a MIDI directory that contains


# the patch files for GUS playback. Patch sets used


# with Timidity should work fine.


gus=false


gusrate=11025


gusbase=240


irq1=5


irq2=5


dma1=3


dma2=3


ultradir=C:\ULTRASND


[speaker]


# pcspeaker -- Enable PC-Speaker emulation.


# pcrate -- Sample rate of the PC-Speaker sound generation.


# tandy -- Enable Tandy Sound System emulation (off,on,auto).


# For auto Tandysound emulation is present only if machine is set to tandy.


# tandyrate -- Sample rate of the Tandy 3-Voice generation.


# disney -- Enable Disney Sound Source emulation.


pcspeaker=true


pcrate=22050


tandy=auto

[joystick]


# joysticktype -- needs to be none, or else expect no input.

I realize that the Caanoo has a different keyset, but that shouldn't stop it from running. After configuring the three required files, I managed to find a sample zip file with everything preconfigured, but that did not work either.


I'm trying to run CrimeFighter, Oregon Trail and Wasteland (mostly CrimeFighter).


http://www.hotud.org/component/content/article/47-education/22661 (Oregon Trail Deluxe)


http://www.hotud.org/component/content/article/37-strategy/19937 (Crime Fighter)


http://www.hotud.org/component/content/article/39-rpg/22114 (Wasteland)
 
Not the right thread for the pandora but anyway. I tested Wasteland on DosBox 0.74 and it works fine ^_^
