Windows 95 Psp Using Dosbox For Windows
Ever wondered what it would be like to time travel? To see how computers were designed (software wise) and performed back then? DosBox allows your PSP to do that. Outdated may mean ‘meaningless’ to some users, but this homebrew has proved that wrong.
PSP DOSBOX is a PSP port of the popular MS-DOS emulator. This emulator allows users to run DOS programs and games on their PSPs. While most users may not like the feeling of using such an outdated version of windows, some users are still interested with the whole ‘retro look’ from the dos series. Mind you, the PSP has a limited amount of ram and cpu speed. This means you won’t able to do everything dosbox can, but there are still quite a few things out there you can try out. The PSP 1000 has a 333 mhz max cpu, and 32mb ram, while the slim (2000+) and other variations has a 333mhz cpu and 64mb ram.
My laptop runs off windows 7. I have an installation cd for windows 95 but it will not boot on virtual box. Is it possible for me to be able to load the cdrom thru.
Thus, depending on which PSP model you are using, the performance will vary. Down below I’ll give you the instructions on running DOS on your PSP. Installation:. First download the program from here. Extract the files and just copy over the “PSPDosbox” folder to PSP/GAME.
Naviage to Dosbox on your PSP, and launch it. As simple as that. You can also have a look at the compatibility list on that site above. To experience what DOS is like, you’ll need some DOS programs and games. PSP Dosbox has it’s configuration file (“conf” file) in the Dosbox folder. By default it loads the programs from ms0:/PSP/GAME/dosbox.
You can also edit this to suit your needs, and it’ll load programs from that said location. By default the emulator keys are:. R = Click left mouse button. L = Click right mouse button. Pad = move mouse. Select = Escape key. (Esc). Start = Enter Key.
However you also might want to consider reading this bit that I found from the DOSBox wiki. It is also advisable to create a bat file to launch your program, as the psp’s buttons are quite limited, and it can be a chore to use it without first setting your keys. To set the keys you use “INPUTMAP PSPKEY keyboard key “. So if you were to, say, map the up key on your psp to the up on the keyboard you would have “INPUTMAP up up”.
You can set this up to anything you like, but the default settings are: INPUTMAP up up/ INPUTMAP right right INPUTMAP down down INPUTMAP left left INPUTMAP triangle d INPUTMAP square lshift INPUTMAP cross lctrl INPUTMAP circle lalt Once you have everything set up with whatever that floats your boat, copy over your dos programs to the folder pointed out by the configuration file. Okay so I’m not gonna say much after this because I don’t wanna ruin it for you. Go ahead and download windows 95, and 98 or whatever DOS games or apps that you want to try out. Also take note that you can not windows 3.11 on your PSP.
A maximum of 10 files can be open at the same time, and the windows 3.11 install needs way more. The best way to get windows 3.11 on your psp (pointed out by the DOS Box wiki) would be to load up the install in dosbox on your computer, install it, and then copy over the windows folder. Windows 95 and 98 also “can” be done this way, but they are extremely slow, not that Win 3.11 isn’t.

I’ll conclude this post by recommending some games might want to take shot at: Alone It’s a bit slow, but its playable. Yeah and as soon as you understand a little about it and its instructions and syntax, you will begin to like it. Its straight, it does what you tell it, if you tell it correctly, not like other OS.

DOS is still one of the mightiest OS out there due to its low level hardware access. DOS can do things that other and newer OS just can’t. And if we look at newer OS like win7/8/8.1 there is still a “tiny” fragment of DOS in there, command shell anyone?
Its not a real DOS, but comes close to it and still has certain power left in it. Old days, some times its nice to remember. Back to when win98 was on, programs like norton commander was really useful mostly when windows stops working and u need to back up stuff, fast and simple:). As for games think always worth to mention dune 2, wolfenstein, supaplex and so on. Lots of hours spent on those. By the way don’t wanna spam or something but since its about running dos, wanna share video link, some may find it interesting 😀 don’t know how, or even if its real but looks like someone managed to run doom on a printer XD.
