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 Outdated may mean ‘meaningless’ to some users, but this homebrew has proved that wrong.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 While most users may not like the feeling of using such an outdated version of windows, some users are still interested with the whole ‘retro look’ from the dos series.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. 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.
Looking at how OS had marvelled over these three decades starting from the 90s somehow makes me reminiscent the good old days of Win 3.1, Win95 and Win98. I certainly missed playing my first ever computer games such as Prince of Persia, Mario, and Doom. And so embark my journey to relive those memories again in the modern machine. To do that, I selected DosBox, which is an emulator that fully emulates those legacy machines. Like many others, I started off to search for related tutorials and what-not on Google, only to found that most of them are either too fragmented or requires me to piece up the tidbits. To save time, I had decided to write up this tutorial just so you wouldn't had the same experience that I did.
So, you will need:. MS-DOS Boot Disc. Windows 95 Installation Disc. Hard disk image that host your Win95 partition. Download a copy of DOS boot disk - 622C.IMG from. For unknown reason I could't boot when using the DOS 6.22 boot disk from.
Just like any VM, I know that I will need hard disk image to host the Windows 95 OS. Many tutorials covers the steps to build your own hard disk image, requiring somewhat technical understanding. To avoid these complications, I simply choose a blank pre-formatted FAT16.img from.
Windows 95 Dosbox Download
Don't be surprise with the capacity as the file is compressed and barely reaches 200 KB even for 1GB. This is because they are empty disk image. For me personally, 1GB is more than enough.
DosBox requires the hard disk image to be flatten out in size instead of dynamically growing like many VM implementations nowadays. Upon extraction you will get the full blown size of the selected disk size. Lastly, I then downloaded Win95 Installation Disc (win95en.iso) from. The version I chose was. Having downloaded all of them, I then moved them to DosBox folder. Note that I did not specify the drive name such as c or d since there I assume there is still no file system (FAT16, FAT32, NTFS) on it. Instead, I use 2 which will mount it on native system hda.
(0-1 will mount to fda and fdb (floppy disk a, b) and 2-3 will mount to hda and hdb). In addition, it is also necessary to specify the exact disk geometry (i.e. Sectors, cylinders) to let the file system utility that we'll use next (fdisk) know where the disk ends.
If you grab the pre-formatted hard disk image from, simply replace the value matching the ones you downloaded. For instance, I will enter 512,63,64,520 since I'm downloading the 1GB image. 256MB image: 512,63,16,520 512MB image: 512,63,32,520 520MB image: 512, 1GB image: 512,63,64,520 2GB image: 512, After mounting the disk I then boot into MS-DOS 6.22 by typing boot 622c.img. Make a new directory called WIN95 in C:/ which is your empty hard disk image. We will later copy the entire content of folder WIN95 from Windows 95 installation disk here. C: mkdir WIN95 copy D: WIN95.
3. Installing Windows 95 After that, start the installation by: c: cd WIN95 setup /is (. /is flag prevent ScanDisk from running) Follow the wizard and it will ask for a CD-Key at some point. I use the following: 12095-OEM-003. More CD-Key can be found. After finishing the installation the system will restart, i.e.
DOSBox will quit. You'll have to relaunch it again. To boot from the hard disk image, simply type the following: imgmount 2 hdd-1gb.img -size 512,63,64,520 -fs none boot -l c Note: Some tutorials make some mistake in this step by typing the following: imgmount c hdd-1gb.img boot hdd-1gb.img This will result in Invalid System Disk. I followed everything right and used the same files as this guide but I get an error when trying to install windows: 'SU-0013 - To set up Windows 95, your startup drive must be an MS-DOS boot partition.
If your startup drive is an HPFS or Windows NT file system, you must create an MS-DOS boot partition before running Setup. For more information, on creating an MS-DOS boot partition, see the documentation that came with your computer.' And in SETUP.txt it says: 'If you have LANtastic networking or SuperStor compression, see those sections earlier in this document for more information.' Yeah, I've been having the same problem at setup as you!
Honestly, I was thinking that even though the blank disks he gave us are pre-formatted, we still need to do a format C: plus a quick FDISK checkup to match it to Windows 95 standards. I still don't know why the mod didn't put a solution on the page. Are there any solutions (besides mine)?
I don't know! -Christopher (BTW, I had to rewrite this 3 times because stupid Google doesn't have a failsafe and when I try to write this comment, then I have to sign in, verify, fail (and block myself out), try again, type in my phone number, sign in (successfully), take care of sign in issues, try again, change my password, change it and automatically sign in, sign into my mail, go into my browser, rewrite this comment (which it doesn't save), have to sign in (with the new password), then rewrite this comment a 3rd time. All that work for a single reply? Not buying it, Google!).
Ran into the same problem initially. You have to load MS Dos before all of that so Windows 95 can install off of it. (boot 622c.img). After DOS is loaded, don't do the whole fdisk thing - simply continue to mount d as. Win95en and c as hdd-1gb.img. Also, note that the copy function is copying INTO a directory, so you don't just 'copy d: WIN95.'
Instead, from C: type CD WIN95, then from C: WIN95, type COPY D: WIN95. That should solve most issues. The problem I have at this point is graphics and cursors within 95:/. Anonymous, once you are in DOS and in the C: WIN95 directory, type 'dir' and press enter. It will show you the contents of the folder.
If the setup.exe file is not in there, that is why DOS doesn't recognize the command and maybe the files didn't copy to C: WIN95 correctly. However it sounds like they should've copied correctly since you are able to run it in DOSBox.strange. Another way to check is to use a program like 7-Zip or PowerISO, then you can look at the contents of the img file in windows explorer format. Only if it was helpful? I've tried every which way to install Windows 95 on DOSBox using this description and it simply does not work at all.
There are some obvious errors others have mentioned here, but other errors are not corrected and I keep getting the same SU-0013 error messages. I know Windows 95 can be run in DOSBox, but I suspect that either the people who successfully do it have access to 'secret, inside' info on exactly how to install it, or there is a required version of DOSBox that I simply am not aware of or isn't available any longer. For anyone who is stuck on the tutorial!! There is an error present in the tutorial!
The last action in step two: c: mkdir WIN95 copy D: WIN95. Forget the statement cd WIN95 in between mkdir and copy! Not following this step will result in an error during windows 95 setup because the files will be copied to the C drive root instead of win95 folder! After you completed this step, make sure you execute step 3 inside DOS!
So close everything, reboot dosbox, mount c and d first, then boot into dos, then perform step 3! This way worked for me.
I think it should be noted about graphics settings for those using Windows XP as the host machine. When reconfiguring the dosbox.conf file do not use any of the opengl settings. Instead, set the configuration as follows. Fullresolution=original output=direct3d aspect=true If you do this, you will get a full screen using the host machine's monitor without the sacrifice of the guest machine's resolution, whatever it is you want it to be (after installing your s3 graphics, of course). This is important for games such as MYST that require a 640x480 screen with 256 colors and WON'T work without it being set that way. HOW I GOT BLANK ATM CARD THAT CHANGE MY ENTIRE LIFE.
I have being hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts.

I got around that by finding another MS- DOS disk image and copying it to a folder that would be used as a separate drive where I can run command.com.
Things went differently when I checked the blank hard disk with fdisk.com and found that the partition's file system was showing as 'UNKNOWN'. I didn't know if this would affect anything else, so I carried on. I mounted the windows 95 folder and ran setup /is from the win95 folder. At first it looked like it was going to work, but after agreeing to the EULA, I got an error that had the error code 'SU-0013'.
I was never able to get past this. Things I tried since: Mounting the drive by typing 'imgmount c c: users desktop hdd-1gb.img' (didn't make any difference) Trying to remove the partition with fdisk.com (DOSBox crashed) Trying to format the disk image with format.com (DOSBox crashed) This is what was in the status window when DOSBox crashed: DOSBox version 0.74 Copyright 2002-2010 DOSBox Team, published under GNU GPL.

NOTE: Someone Stole my Instructable, Care to look at the Publishing dates. Here I will show you how to Setup and Run Windows 3.1 Andor Windows 95 on a PSP. Ever wanted To run Windows 95 On a PSP? If so this Instructable is for you. Note:I do not have a camera the pictures will be ScreenShots taken in the PSP and in the computer you will be setting it up in. Just in case you don't know this is not permanent,Instead It is a program within the PSP's Operating system that Emulates a x86 PC on the PSP. Edit: If any (non pro) person wants to download the PDF.
Ok now that you got all of the files ready and extracted,Next you need to create folder on your PSP's Memory stick. The most important one is the one called hdd which contains all of the Disk Images and Batch files. Create a folder called hdd In the Root of the PSP's memory stick. Copy(or move) the following files to the Folder hdd. w95.img - The Windows 95 Hard Disk image. win31.iso - The Windows 3.1 Image(Its an iso because iso files don't freeze since it does not boot from the image). osrun.bat (Starts either Windows 95 OR Windows3.1).
31run.bat (Opens Windows 3.1). 95run.bat (Boots up windows 95) Note:Make sure that the file names are correct or else it wont work. Once you have Done that next you need to copy The DOSBox program for the psp to the right folder. If you have a PSP with Custom Firmware copy the DOSBox files(Eboot.pbp,DOSBOX.CONF,any.prx files and the DOSBox.patch file ) to MSROOT: PSP GAME150 DOSBox(create that folder) OR If you have a PSP with OFW 1.5 Copy it to MSROOT: PSP GAME DOSBOX Now you should be done with this step. Ok in this step i will show you how to start windows and a bit of info on how it works. The 'autoexec' All of this will execute at startup so i will show you what each action means.
Contents. PSP DOSBOX The psp is a handheld device designed by Sony and released in Japan on December 12, 2004, in North America on March 24, 2005, and in the PAL region on September 1, 2005. When it was released in japan, running firmware version 1.00, the device wasn't 'locked down'. IE it would run unsigned code. Due to this, and various other flaws found the the PSP's system OS, the homebrew community has been quite strong.
This has led to many opensource projects being started aimed at the PSP. There has also been a few ports as well, from Ffmpeg to our beloved Dosbox. Unfortunately, as the PSP successor the Vita has been released, this 'scene' has dwindled down quite a bit.
As such the port of Dosbox is quite old. However, it still runs nicely on every PSP version, as well as the PSP emu on the Vita, if you can run homebrew on your vita.
Using PSPDosBox Bear in mind that there are a few limitations for using Dosbox on the PSP. The PSP has a limited amount of ram and cpu speed. You will not be able to play everything dosbox can, but there are still quite a few things you can play.
The standard PSP has a 333mhz max cpu, and 32mb ram, the slim and go has a 333mhz cpu and 64mb ram, and the vita's emu speed, while not exactly known, is about a 60% faster and 32mb ram. Thus, depending on which model you are using, the speed you will get will vary.
To get it installed is quite simple. First you need a copy of the program, which you can find here:.
You can also find a very good pdf there under the FAQ, as well as a short compatibility list. Once you have the files extraced you just copy over your PSPDosbox folder to /psp/game/, or where ever you have your homebrew. Go to Dosbox on your PSP, and click it and you are running DOS on your PSP.
However, runing DOS by itself is no fun, you need some programs and games. PSPDosbox has it’s conf file in the Dosbox folder.
By default ms0:/psp/game/dosbox as C. However, if you want you can edit that to anywhere you want. Once you have that set up how you like it, copy over your dos programs to said folder. 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 Important bits Windows 3.11 can not be installed on the psp.
A maximum of 10 files can be open at the same time, and the windows install needs many more. As such the best way to get windows 3.11 on your psp 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.
You can change the sensitivity of your nub by editing the sensitivity= settings in your dosbox.conf When typing out locations in your dosbox.conf always use a forward slash '/' PSPDosbox doesn't rec a backslash ' ' So you would do ms0:/psp/game/dosbox and NOT ms0: psp game dosbox You can change the frameskip in your dosbox.conf by searching for 'frameskip='. If you set it too high, you will get graphical errors, but it could give you that last push to let a game be playable. If you add keyhint=true to your dosbox.conf it will show the list of possible keyboard button whenever you a combo key. You can press Left trigger + Right trigger + Select + Dpad Down to switch between your keypad settings, and the keyboard entry method.
You can press Left trigger + Right trigger + Start + Dpad Down to switch between your keypad settings and joystick mode. LINKS For help in mounting folders as a HD, floppies, and cd's check out For help in mounting images as a HD, floppies, or CD's check out.
Thanks for any help. I had that game called 'Fallout'. An awesome game from 1997. It also had a patch 1.1 and a dos version.
Fake blue screen virus. I could play the game on my computer after working with the config and stuff. But I wanted to show how cool this game actually is to my 'non geek' friends.
I thought about using iDos application (which uses DosBox) to run the dos version of the game. The problem I got was the game freezing a lot, the app crashing. Not loading at all. I got the game to work after 2 days of research.
But the graphics were really glitchy and the sound was gone. (And sound = atmosphere of the game, the experience) I couldn't enjoy the game without sound. So i thought about installing windows through iDos. I googled and found out that i can install windows 3, windows 95, windows 98 or windows me.
I don't know why, but i downloaded an.img file of windows 98. It took me a good 5 hours to get it to work.
After doing that i tried to connect a 'fake disk' to windows 98. But I failed. So i used an app called WinImage to open up the files in.img file. Then i added the fallout setup files. After that I used iDos to boot windows. Installed fallout on the img using iDos. Then when i tried booting the game i got a message that the game can only run in windows 95.
I downloaded windows 95 and deleted 98. I was faster this time, got it to work in under 10 minutes! Nice, isn't it? I installed fallout again. It told me to download directx 3.0 or higher. So i downloaded directx 6.1 and installed.
The install also asked me if i wanted to install a driver. I said 'yes'. But then the whole windows crashed. I reinstalled everything and said 'no' this time. Everything is going well. I tried to boot the game now.
It came up with a warning: This app needs to be run with 256 color or higher. Or something like that.
Anyway i then looked up at the control panel, to display. I only had 16 color or monochrome. And the display was only 640x480. I googled a lot to find a working win95a graphic driver. I installed it. It got installed well.
Then i chose new graphics card adaptor. The new driver of course! (Still going well) Checked the control panel, display. The 256 color, truecolor(32) and 16 bit color options were unlocked.
I chose 256 of course. After chosing 256 color the display option popped. Now I could slide from 480 to 1024. Great, right?
Though I kept it at 480 and just chose 256 color. I clicked apply. But windows warned me that i need to restart in order to apply changes. Which closes the iDos application. I reopened the iDos and booted windows 95 again.
I didn't notice anything different. I checked display settings again. And it was still 16 color with 256 color and such unlucked. But whenever I choose them it tells me to restart and closes the app.
I googled more and found that dosbox doesn't support 256 color. But I also found that some people got it to work. Just the files were old and deleted. So I couldn't download.
But I am so close. I can't stop yet. If anyone can help me get past this problem, thanks. Problem: Can't set 256 color without restarting. And when i restart it is back to 16 color. Is there a way to boot it always 256 color maybe?
