So, have a system inside an img file, mount the CD files in another drive and mount a drive for the installation. Maybe if I use Minimum Installation and choose to install in another drive and keep the CD being the way to load the game? Still, this would have to be loaded with an img operating system, to overcome the 9 max file loads problem on the PSP (minus one for the DOSBox executable - DOSBox for PSP has only 2 files: the executable and nf, and I imagine it will unload the conf file after reading it). The game doesn't ask for a place to save! It's always in FALLOUT/DATA/SAVEGAMES. Thanks again for any help that anyone can provide (and thanks for those who already did).ĮDIT: Now I thought about idea 2 again. Would this work?ģ - If none of the 2 ideas work, would there be another one? img -, I wouldn't be able to modify it **** saving games on it) and saving the games in E in a folder, mounted normally in a folder of the memory card. ġ - If I create an ISO wity the game CD (which I own, btw - version 1.2 though, but at least it's the officially most updated one), will it load only the ISO file, or will mount it as in Windows and load the files individually? Because I could install with the Minimum Installation option and run everything from the CD, it it would load only the ISO and all fikes individually (I don't think this would work this way, but doesn't hurt to try asking haha).Ģ - In case the point 1 doesn't work as I wanted it to, if I modify a Windows image to have the game on it, can I save the games in a drive out of it? For example, mounting Windows 3.1 (the most light one of the 3 I saw) in C (as it would be an image -file. And this was written by a DOS programmer in 2002, so at minimum, older versions of DOS had 15 or less files to open by a single process (and Fallout is a single process). But each process opens only 15 files at most. The FILES=XXXX is the TOTAL amount of files that can be opened in the system. 5 of them are for stdin and those commands, and the rest are to open any files. Seems that DOS has a default number for a single processnto open files, and that's 20. I've read a bit more about DOS and DOSBox. I just don't know if it won't put the PSP slower by being loading an operating system. The person seems to have my problem and on the PSP, and I found the img idea interesting. Any more ideas.? hahaĮDIT: If it helps, I read the img part here. But Fallout works on the PC version 0.71, so versions of DOSBox and DOS should not be the problem I think. Btw, the Android DOSBox has DOS 5.0 and Fallout 1 works there (I've seen videos showing it working), and also, the PSP version of DOSBox is 0.71, if it helps in any way. So I'm open to any more suggestions since I can't test the img one. I'm changing configuration and those things from my PSP and putting other DOSBox versions on it through my phone. I think it would solve the problem is the cause is the max file load being 9 (not 10, my mistake - so including the DOSBox executable, the remaining are 8 files to load). I've thought in putting the game in an img file, but I'm not quite sure how to do it yet. (unless I rewrite PSP's kernel and drivers to do this and I have no idea how to do it, nor I'm an experienced programmer or hard-coder, I'm only a beginner haha). Sadly, the max file load seems not to be possible to change. I'm not from MS-DOS era (or at least with enough age), but I find thse things kinda interesting. About the edit, I didn't know it was the minimum, nor that it could be changed. Have a look on those Dos parameters here, if you like: Reasonable amount back in these days was 20 or 30 files, also depending on maximum RAM available.ĭon't think DosBox supports anything like that, though, at least not by default. It allowed more files to load at a time, dunno what the maximum was, maybe 255. Ms-Dos actually allowed more than 8 files, which was the minimum, through a files=x command which was used back in Ms-Dos by a config.sys file, loaded at the very startup. Just a shot in the dark at the possible realistic reasons here, since I have no experience with running DosBox on PSP.Įdit: Thinking on it, it also indeed might have to do with loading / writing only 10 files. If yes, it might be worthwhile to set each individually to false and see if that changes anything. Might tryĪs well, since that was the last "Windows-less" Ms-Dos version I think.Īlso have a look under the section at the bottom and whether you have XMS=, SMS= and UMB= values all set to true. That will set the Dos version to 7.10, which is what it was under Windows 98. I don't know if you can edit DosBox options file, dosbox-x.xx.conf, but if you can, try putting the following line at the very end under section: Though I have no experience with PSP, I'm very sure that Fallout would need a higher Ms-Dos version than 5.
