[XPort]

DOSXBox 286/386 PC Emulator port for XBox v1

http://xport.xbox-scene.com

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

http://www.lantus-x.com/SDLx/

Features :

- Emulates 286/386

- Excellent compatibility - ported from DOSBOX


Super thanks to Lantus for his SDL-XBox libraries!


==========
How To Use
==========

(You really need a USB Keyboard to do anything interesting with this port.)

First, create a subdirectory called "GAMES" off of the directory where the DOSXBox XBE is located.
Put your old DOS games in this directory.

When DOSXBox starts, you'll be presented with a screen that looks a lot like an MSDOS
bootup screen.  Your XBox E: drive is set to the DOSXBox E: drive.  The XBox D:GAMES
directory is mapped to DOSXBox C: drive.  The XBox DVD-ROM drive is mapped to the DOSXBox
D: drive.  Currently, DOSXBox will only read XBox compatible DVD-Rs/CDRWs. (e.g. those
made with utilities like XISO.)

If you do a "dir" you should be presented with the list of items that you uploaded to D:GAMES
on your XBox.  Simply type in the name of the game you wish to play and it should play it.

You will almost definitely have to do some fine-tuning to get games to play at the correct
speed and without jittery music.  Use the following keys to tune your game until it plays
the way you want:

CTRL-F7           Decrease frameskip.
CTRL-F8           Increase frameskip.
CTRL-F11        Slowdown emulation.
CTRL-F12        Speedup emulation.
ALT-F11         Slowdown emulation (smaller factor than CTRL-F11).
ALT-F12         Speedup emulation (smaller factor than CTRL-F12).


More useful keys:

CTRL-F9         Exit DOSXbox.
CTRL-ARROWS     Reposition screen
ALT-ARROWS      Resize screen

Please also consult the included, official DOSBOX README for more information on usage.
Note that some of what is included in that README is not applicable to the XBox version.


Stella, Gnuboy, SMSPlus, FCEUltra, HUGO, NeoPop, DGen, Bochs, HUGO-CD, FMSXBox,
Bliss, WinSTon, Gens, Z26X, StepmaniaX, PCSXBox, XBoyAdvance, DOSXBox....what's next?


Enjoy!

wohoooooooooooooooooooo.. another XPort emulator to add to my collection of perfectly ported emulators for Xbox.            

Im gonna download original Pimpwar and see if it works... :-)

[mr jones]

Geez, man.

You're porting over so many emulators, that you're making you're previous ports obsolete.  Stella, Dgen, Gens (earlier port), Hugo (before CD implementation), Gnuboy, and now Bochs.  What's next?

[mr jones]

...and this now gives me even MORE reason to get a damn USB keyboard!

*sigh*

Out of curiousity Xport, do you're kids sit and really get into the emulators you port, or do they get more of a thrill out of seeing what you port next?

[kvajnto]

REALLY AWSOME! Sorry for shouting, but this is just so damn great. Thank you, thank you, thank you! =)

[lantus]

I am just wondering, I read the FAQs for the Windows version but does the Xbox version has Joystick and mouse support?

The Joy of playing Pirates! Gold or Might & Magic 4/5 again!

OMG this is really, really awesome Xport! I just learned about the SDL update, and now an amazing new emu that uses it. I'm so happy. Thanks  lantus and everyone else who made lib_SDLx possible, and Xport for this emulator.

I have not gotten my hands on it yet, and after playing Starwars KOTOR all freaking night, it is time to get to bed. I'll also add to the compatability list if or when I get some spare time this week. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! This is the port I have been waiting for! I can't wait to throw the Alone In The Dark series at it!

[Dahak]

Thanks Xport and Lantus!

To continue with Lantus's compat list:

AD&D Hillsfar - works great
Buck Rogers XXVc: Countdown to Doomsday - works great
Countdown (Access Games) - works great
MegaTraveller: The Zhodani Conspiracy - freezes in gameplay
Veil of Darkness - Works, use a couple of frameskips
Zork - works
Zork II - works
Zork III - works

Tie fighter works fine
Dott works fine (Still be using scummvm)
Igis works fine (An old dos database program I use for work)
Now if only I could print from an xbox I could replace the computers at work with xbox's.

Haven't tried any dos4gw yet (Got to go to work) but if this is ported from cvs then some should work even though at the website it actually says none do.


Three cheers for xport
Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray.

LoL for a split sec i thought he ported over DOS as in able to boot exe's com files and bats  My hopes dissapeared after I read the nfo but please do not flame me I love this emulator I just thought it was a true dos emu The only thing running through my mind was chkdsk and defrag.exe drooling over the thought of finally defraging my 120gb drive. THank you xport for all of you fine releases
