Great work Slaanesh. This makes me want a Nanonote!

Alright, I'm finally played my first game on DOSBox on the Nanonote and everything is working.

Yes, I'm playing "Elite" - well actually I'm watching the Cobra MkIII spin around whilst being serenaded to the Blue Danube via PC Speaker sound... :)

There are a couple issues still - looks like the Nanonote has less usable memory than the A320.
Using the Dyna Rec I can only allocate 1MB of PC RAM before it bombs out. On the A320 I can happily allocate 4MB of PC RAM.

I'll make a few tweaks to adjust this because the DynaRec cache is currently set to 4MB - which is probably way too much.

Once that's done I'll double check that the binary still works okay on the A320 and we're all set for some public test version!

I hope there are some other Nanonote users out there (apart from Mortys who I know has one) ;-)

How do you know I've got a Nanonote Slaanesh ? ;) Maybe it's because of all the pressure I put on you :D
However, good work and thanks for your efforts.

If It runs Loopynes at full speed you can say goodbye to all other NES emulators on Dingoo... :D

Yep, here it is:

DOSBOX Public Test - Alpha

This is a Public Test Alpha.

I'm about to go to bed but:

* There is debugging going to the screen.
* Some things may not work or are not finished.
* There are no readme's included (yet). You will have to know how to use DOSBox. See the included dosbox.conf as an example.
* Most of my later testing was done with the Nanonote. A320 users, it's up to you to map and bind your own keys using a mapper.txt file (standard DOSbox feature).

More info soon.

Hi Slaanesh
How do you make the mouse to work ?
I've try Syndicate but even in the menu, it's pretty slow and the game crash when trying to launch a game...
Do you know if games using Dos4G are slower in dosbox NN than other one ?
However, great work for this first Test version

PS : In fact the loadings are pretty slow on my NN... Is it normal or my µsd is corrupted ? (Try at 336Mhz)

Wow, it works! :)

I'm running Might & Magic I full speed here — in fact, it's way too fast, I have to tinker with the DOSBOX config file to slow it down. I have no sound, but the emulation looks solid! Thanks a lot!

Do you use it on Nanonote or on Dingoo ?
Cause on my NN, every game I tried are pretty slow (i'm gonna try Might & Magic I to compare with you).
