isom, you can launch the game from Dosbox config file. Just add cd prince and whatever to the autoexec part of the config file.

Can't you use ctrl + backspace to change focus, then you can select the background. I havent use dosbox for ages now but it works for most other apps ;)

Here's rover.sys for any ADOM players, with these combinations mapped additionally:

fn+z = > (descend stairway)
fn+c = < (climb stairway)
fn+left = 1 (southwest)
fn+up = 7 (northwest)
fn+down = 3 (southeast)
fn+right = 9 (northeast)

Wouldn't know where to start if it weren't for javispedro's posts... Thanks, mate!

Go to your dosbox.conf file and add this to the bottom:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount c /data/dosbox
c:


This mounts the drive as C: and changes you to that directory when the app starts.

Giving this a go as we speak - downloaded 0.73 and istalled it - no come to the keyboard problems yet! lol

Where do I find the dosbox.conf file? I cant see it in files when I plus my phone into my PC - forgive my nooby-ness! lol

Re: N900 DOSbox - no number keys?
 
I have downloaded the dosbox.073.conf file and have followed the guidelines below - but everytime I load up dosbox it starts in my z: drive again

I entered pwd in terminal and it came up with /home/user

So I have ameneded the autoexec file to:

mount c /home/user/dosbox(files where my games and .conf file is in ) however no joy

Also tried mount c /home/user/MyDocs/dosbox - again no joy

Please help - been reading up for ages and getting nowhere fast

My workaround was to edit the conf file...

I created a folder "dos" when connected to my PC
Open the terminal and type

Code:
$ cd ./dosbox
$ vi dosbox-0.73.conf


At the end of the file ([autoexec] part) I added the following lines:

Code:
mount c /home/users/MyDocs/dos
c:


When I open DosBox it mounts the c partition and goes there automatically now.

Hey guys,

Ive managed to install Dosbox and have mounted a drive as the c:. I have also set the command "keyb uk" to start up and that works, but the keyboard does not work at all. I cannot type anything at the command prompt using the slide out keyboard....help!!

well, i never made a uk layout, so no wonder it does not work... :)

I'm surprised that DosBox still doesn't have correct keymapping out of the box when installing from the repositories... :-/

I'm surprised no one made the .key files for all the international N900 layouts yet! {insert_evil_laugh_emoticon_here}
