buttons. Also add support for console Power (shut off console) Reset 
(reset DOSBox) buttons.

Virtual .com files don't accept command line parameters

WriteOut( ) doesn't display strings that have 8-bit characters in them.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Open the on screen keyboard
2.Observe the difference between the semicolon (;) and colon (:) keys

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There should be a reasonably noticeable difference between them. However, the 
bottom marking of the semicolon does not have enough of a tail to be very 
distinguishable.

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?
No, specific to wii gui

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.3 wii

Please provide any additional information below.
I spent about 5 minutes wondering why I couldn't switch drives before I 
realized it was a semicolon. Not a significant issue, but something that would 
be greatly appreciated if tweaked.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Dosbox Wii
2. Press "home" on the Wiiremote

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like to press a key that is not on the onscreen keyboard.

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?
No, all keys are present on a computer Keyboard

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2, on the Homebrew Channel

Please provide any additional information below.
The on-screen keyboard is missing several vital keys:  Escape, the F keys
(like F1, F6), Shift, Control, Alt, etc.  Several games require these keys
(For example, one game needs F1 to open a menu, another game needs Escape
to close a message).

I have attempted to fix this problem by opening Dosbox (The same version,
0.73), and mapping the key to a different one, but it does not register in
Dosbox Wii.  I put the mapper.txt file in both the folder where the program
is and where the dosbox.conf file is.

This is very cumbersome; not everyone has a USB keyboard.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Start DOSBox from HBC
2.Test USB wireless keyboard
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A working keyboard

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?
Nope

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

so if someone could tell me how they did it. i wanna play cross country canada

It's kind of silly to have the default amount of memory set to 16MB when
the Wii has nearly 4x that amount just sitting there being unused.  Why not
put it to use?

Sure you can set it manually, but how many people know that?  And it'd be
possible for those said people to attempt installing something like Windows
95 which definitely would take advantage of more RAM.

INT 21H, AH=41H handler causes crash with invalid op.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

2. press ctrl-F1 to map keys
3. map any direction of the cross controll-pad to any key
4. exit the key mapper
5. press the mapped controll pad direction
6. no responce

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- Nothing, every other function of the wii mote maps fine.

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?
- There is no wii mote in windows.

Introduction:
I have tried this fantastic application on my wii, but there is a problem
with The Incredible machine (1993), the game work great but without sound
(this isn't a big problem, I wrote for another problem):

If I use a normal mouse and a normal keyboard insert in the 2 usb port of
wii the game work properly.
But if I try to use the Wiimote the cursor can't go in any part of the screen.
The wiimote can move the mouse only in a rectangle portion of the screen
("an invisible wall"), the rectangle depend where the mouse cursor are
before I start to use wiimote, if I move the mouse with keyboard or mouse
and then I use wiimote the "invisible wall" exists but is in another position.
Can you fix this bug?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I have firmware 4.0e and I use 0.73.02 version of DosBox.
I have tried to change screen aspect ration 4:3 and 16:9 and the type of
Television [50Hz (576i), and 60Hz(480i)] but the problem persist.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run SimFarm
2. Screen will switch to black screen
3. One can still hear the sound
4. Wiimote still function as a mouse since moving and clicking gets some
responsive sound

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
DOSBOX on Windows displays the selection screen to start the game but
DOSBOX for Wii only displays a black screen

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?
No

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
DOSBOX for Wii on System Menu 4.0J

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  type "mount u usb:/Dosbox/myapp" or put in dosbox.conf
2.  type "mount x sd:/DOSBox/" or put in dosbox.conf
3.  change to x: or u: drive by typing "u:" or "x:"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- expected to be able to mount and change to the drive.  dosbox-wii reports
directory not found or reports you have to mount the drive first.

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?
- works fine on DOSBox for Windows

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using Dosbox-wii v1.1, Homebrew info page says IOS61 v19.26, and I've
applied USB 2.0 cIOS provided by mplayer-ce to the Wii.
(http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-ce/downloads/list).  Wii system menu 4.0U

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm using just a Wiimote, no numchuck or keyboard, at the moment, although
I've tried it with a numchuck attached.  I have a WBFS formatted USB drive
and a FAT formatted USB stick.  I tried switching the USB ports, and just
the FAT drive alone in both ports.  I have to switch the FAT drive to port0
when using FTPii, and WBFS drives are only accessible on port0 after
upgrading the IOS USB support to v2.0, so it could be related to what IOS
dosbox-wii uses for USB access.  I put the commands in the dosbox.conf
autoexec section and tried typing them in.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure dosbox.conf to have "vgaonly" as the machine mode (as opposed 
to any of the SVGA, VESA, EGA, Tandy, etc. options."
2. Try running DOSBox Wii.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When you launch DOSBox Wii, it's a black screen. At first I thought it was 
hanging, but when I type "exit" on my keyboard it quits back to the 
Homebrew Channel as it should.

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?

No.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

DOSBox Wii 1.1 for the, uh, Wii.

Please provide any additional information below.

That's about everything!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Plug in USB RF receiever into 2nd USB port in back of Wii
2.Load dosbox-wii version 0.73 from homebrew channel
3.Load any DOS game which uses mouse
4.Attempt to move mouse

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I should see mouse cursor move.  Instead cursor sits still not responding.

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?
No.  It occurs on the latest version of DOSBox for Wii.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
dosbox-wii v1.1  on Wii System version 4.2, loaded through homebrew 
channel.

Please provide any additional information below.
Wiimote and Keyboard work fine.  USB Keyboard and Mouse Combo is i-rocks 
RF-6572.  They share a common RF->USB receiver.  Mouse and Keyboard are 
sync'd with receiver but the Dosbox is not responding to the mouse signals.

Thanks

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Load Dosbox-wii
2.Open qBASIC or gwBASIC

I already try to change the cycles configuration with dynamic

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Hexxagon app on an SD card as instructed at
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Hexxagon
2. Launch app from Homebrew Channel, running on System Menu 4.0E
3. DOSBox appears to use sd:/DOSBox/dosbox.conf instead of
sd:/apps/hexxagon/dosbox.conf, sits at Z:\> prompt as a result instead of
launching the game

Tantric suggested in the Talk section [1] of the aforementioned Wiki page
that DOSBox might be trying to load "apps/hexxagon/dosbox.conf" instead of
"sd:/apps/hexxagon/dosbox.conf".

C++ isn't my first language, but I've put together a simple test case
(attached) for the CreateAppPath function added in r43 - when I feed it
"sd:/apps/hexxagon/", it gives me back "apps/hexxagon/" - is this the
expected input and output, and is it the cause of the problem?

[1] http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Talk:Hexxagon

The joystick isn't working right, at least not in a couple of old games 
that I tested. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Plug-in and activate 1 wiimote. No attachments.
2. Startup DOSBox Wii.
3. Do nothing - just wait.

You will see the dos cursor blinking, and then start to blink faster. At 
this point you're locked up - even the Home button doesn't work. You can 
wait forever, but it will never unlock.

If you now plug in a Classic Controller, and wait awhile, your cursor will 
eventually return to normal and the lockup ends.

OR

If you have a Classic Controller plugged in on bootup and repeat steps 1-
3, no lockup occurs. But if you unplug the classic controller, it will 
soon lockup.

This could be a bug in SDL_sysjoystick.c in SDL Wii.

[deleted issue]

There are several games in which you need to press enter at some screens 
to advance to the next one.

If you don't have a USB keyb plugged, you can not press it since the on-
screen keyb doesn't have an enter key. And even if it had it, it would be 
kind of useless and uncomfy to open the on screen keyb just to hit enter.

Having the ENTER key mapped to (+) would be great.

Hi,
You have actually put the '~' key in v1.3, but when you enter it, it does not 
display, in dos. not sure why.

Playing Dune 2, there is severe background music stuttering. I had this
problem running Dosbox on ubuntu, but then I changed the midiconfig value
and the issue was fixed. Is there a similar device port that can be used
for the Wii that will fix this problem?

I know this might be not the right place to ask this. But I could not find 
a Wiki section or anything similar. If you consider this is inappropriate 
feel free to delete it.

I was manually configuring several games, and as you know, if you set a 
fixed cycles number and it exceeds the max number of fixed cycles that can 
be handled by the system, it causes several slow down.

I have also noticed that setting cycles=max sometimes does not give me the 
expected results, so I'd like to set a fixed cycles number manually 
without exceeding the one the wii can handle.

Can anybody tell me if you know what is the max number of fixed cycles 
that the Wii processor supports?

Thanks in advance,

Some games crash when exiting.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Run Mortal Kombat II mk2.exe from D: (sd:/dosbox)
2.Boots up to the star-up screen 
3.Freezes but can still preform DosBox commands

I'm trying to use a Roland MT-32 in DOSBox Wii. I'm able to do so in my 
copy of DOSBox 0.72 on the PC. I read somewhere that only unofficial 
builds have support for the MT-32, but that doesn't sound right given what 
I have here. Is there an issue with Wii MT-32 emulation or is this a 
knowingly disabled feature? Is there anything I can do to enable it?

I'm attaching the dosbox.conf file I'm using in DOSBOX Wii, just in case 
there's some setting I've got wrong that you can tell me about.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.mount the sd cards root directory as a drive [mount s: sd:/]
2.change to the s: drive and cd into any directory
3.try to make a [cd ..] or [cd \] to go to the s:\ root again

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected to change to s:\
output is "unable to change to: ..." (three dots shown instead of two)

Some games have the tendency to make dosbox freeze at random. Often only dosbox 
will be frozen while the emulator's gx menu is still functional. The addition 
of a Reset button like in your other emulators would be very useful.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Edit dosbox.conf to emulate a Tandy system instead of VGA etc.
2. Try running certain software for the Tandy 1000 - for example, run an 
old Sierra AGI game like King's Quest 1-3 or Space Quest 1-2.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

While the Tandy emulation works insofar as the Tandy 3-voice sound and 
emulation of other system foibles is fine, it seems like some software 
designed with a Tandy 1000-related video mode in mind does not output 
correct video. Personal Deskmate 2, which requires a Tandy machine and 
does not display on EGA/VGA and up systems, works fine, oddly enough, but 
a Monopoly game from back in the day that I own does not. The easiest 
example to see, though, is Sierra AGI. Under a normal VGA machine the AGI 
games will give you correct video but only PC speaker audio. Under the 
Tandy machine the fuller 3-voice sound will be present but the video will 
have black vertical bars interrupting it, almost as if a "jail cell" 
effect was going on. The Monopoly game (which as far as I know was 
intended for free back in the day other than paying for S&H on the floppy) 
shows differently corrupted video, however.

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?

Both Monopoly and AGI games work fine for me on the Windows DOSBox .72.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

DOSBox for the Wii, based on version 0.72 of the DOSBox code.

Please provide any additional information below.

As I said, I can provide the Monopoly game if people feel comfortable with 
me doing so. I don't want to attach it until I know it's kosher to do so.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Play Commander Keen 4 with Sound Blaster on both music and sound.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Sound when entering a level or doing things like jumping, item
grabbing, etc.
Got: No sound.

Ive been beta testing emulators for a few people for a few different
emulators such as WiiApple, Hatari Wii, Frodo Wii, and UAE Wii. I have
noticed that DOSBox Wii has a few problems such as crashing at random
times, the Conf file not being created correctly (fixed by using my PC
version's Conf file), and VGA problems. Today (5-15-09), I download from
WiiBrew the version of DOSBox Wii mentioned above. I ran Commander Keen 4
for testing purposes. After making sure the games settings are correct, I
started a game and went to the first level. I heard no sound. Same for when
jumping, grabbing items, etc. I know that versions of DOSBox Wii that I got
from GBATemp before today had almost perfect sound so this is a new problem.

compile with latest librarys

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Say a button is at the bottom of the screen

1. Move wii mote to button then move off screen.
2. The cursor will still touch the button.
3. Press A button and button does not get clicked.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Button not to be clicked.

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?
Umm, WTF does windows have to do with any thing.
The OS windows (all versions) have a special thing for when
   mouse goes off the screen. it just sits there but you can still click.

Operating system? its a Wii 4.3u why does that matter? im talking about
   the app it selfs.

letter mounts are cut off

Typing in the on-screen keyboard is already a hassle, and it is more when 
you accidentally enter a wrong letter, and have to move your way to the 
backspace key.

I would like to suggest to map the B button to backspace when the keyboard 
is showing on the screen. This way if you press the wrong letter, you can 
quickly remove it.

This could be applied to the Classic controller too. a=press-key 
b=backspace

Currently B is mapped to Cancel button, which is kind of frustrating 
sometimes when you accidentally press it and it takes you out of the keyb 
screen and you lose all what you typed, so I don't believe anyone will 
miss this.

... as old PC which run DOS had such screens and the progs for DOS are made for 
this ratio ...

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Load the game Moonstone

2. Using either keyboard cursor keys or joystick (via classic controller) it 
allways pulls to thr right as if the joystick is permanently pressed down 
making the game unplayable.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Normal control of the game rather than it contstatnly moving to one side of the 
screen making it unplayable

App should start. I see a code dump as soon as I click the app button in HBC.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 1.1 - 4.2E

Please provide any additional information below.
Just looking to see if anyone knows why this might be happening or if
anyone has any advice on how to get it working.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Download both respective titles from dosgamesarchive.com
2.  Run setup file to set musis and sound configuration, as the games 
require the sound card for music and sound to be setup.  Choose dosbox 
compatible sound device, as it wont go further than the setup screen 
unless dosbox already supports a given sound card device.  I chose AWE 
sound device.
3.  Load game exectubeable

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Well it seems dosbox is attempting to load the configurations and when it 
reaches the sound part it just hangs at sound/music.inits and goes no 
further.  All I see is the red banner with the game title and the 
previously loaded configuration parameters.  

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?
dosbox.com doesnt have the game listed on it's compatibility list.  will 
make report on their sites forum.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 1.2 Wii

Please provide any additional information below.
It seems both of these games should play fine, cause there is no freeze 
ups and I can safely exit dosbox through the wiimote home button.  I also 
chose a sound card that dosbox supports from the get go, which is the AWE 
sound card it appears as the games setup menu doesnt give an error about 
the card not being useable when I select it to configure the sound/music.

Sorry to stir this up again. I know it has been asked and rejected before.

I just want to know if there is absolutely no chance of getting to map keys to 
the wiimote control pad. Why is this? Is this due to a hardware limitation?

Being able to map it would be awesome for many games.

Best Regards.

Hello! :)
Really nice work on porting DOSBOX for the Wii! ;)
And the on-screen keyboard is also an awesome addition for those that do not 
own a USB keyboard, like me! :P

But I still have some keyboard issues when using mostly installer/setup or 
other text-GUI driven applications... :(

These are some examples of the most annoying situations:
* "Press UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT to select option"
* "Press TAB to change field"
* "Press CTRL+C to exit"
* "Type source/destination path" (but one needs to delete the default path 
first!)

Unfortunately I can't seem to find any way to accomplish these operations with 
the available on-screen keyboard! :S

So, is there a chance for some of these "extra keys" to be added to the 
keyboard?
* arrow keys (KEYCODES: 25, 26, 27, 28)
* backspace/delete keys (KEYCODES: 08, 2E)
* tab key (KEYCODE: 09)
* control key (KEYCODE: 11)

This would be an incredibly useful usability improvement for DOSBox-Wii to be 
able to run correctly a lot more DOS applications!

Thanks in advance!
And keep up the great work! ;)
See ya! :)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Load dosbox-wii on an old 4:3 tv.
2.Observe left face of text being unreadable.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
To be able to read the text.

Does the issue occur on the latest DOSBox for Windows?
No

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.3 wii

Please provide any additional information below.
Including the screen position setting to adjust screen width and height as a 
percentage found in libwiigui emulators, wiimc, etc under video settings would 
be very useful and appreciated.

I believe issue 40 also requests this but I thought I would submit a more 
specific entry.

I've tried everything in my thoughts to try to get this to work, I've tried
to edit the config file, but no difference, increasing the memory from 16
to 32 doesn't work, changing cycles to max doesn't do anything either, the
only change is that the controls are delayed a bit and sometimes unresponsive.

This could also apply to some other games as well.  Maybe an optional swap
file for DosBox-Wii can fix this issue?
