The update works fine, time to reload some games :D

Ehm... how do I map the N800 Dpad under dosbox? :D

I'm afraid is not that simple...
The "dosbox --startmapper" doesn't give me a special interface to do what you described... maybe something missing in the latest build?

Try dosbox -startmapper

I installed the latest version, but I can't get any characters that requires Fn to show on my n810 in dosbox. Do I need to install something else or do some configuration changes for the keyboard to work?
TIA

Code:

It took me a minute to figure it out too :)

Games seem to d-r-a-g slow now. I tried BioMenace and it is so s-l-o-w! Also the customer mappertext files through RubyBox don't work. GRRRRRR! :mad: I'll eventually figure it out I guess. Big thanks to javispedro, ukki, ArnimS, and everyone else for this latest update and info. You guys rock! I'm having problems but I appreciate your efforts and comments. :)

I just found out about rubybox.

Is there a benefit to running it? (speed-wise?)

(i'm okay with all the typing, brings me back to the good ol dos days ;))

RubyBox makes running DOS games so much easier once they are set up. You can have different DOSBox parameters or different mappertxt keyboard files for each one. RubyBox also makes it much easier testing the parameters to make each game run faster. Once setup, it is so easy just selecting the program and you're off and running. Plus there are games, DOSBox parameters, and keyboards you can download through RubyBox too. Ukki is the RubyBox god! :D Highly recommended!!! :cool:

Perfect! Time to start testing those games with RubyBox and the latest DOSBox! :)
