Commander Keen lives

Post by emmzee »

For those of you with a Nintendo DS rom cart (R4's are pretty cheap now, ppl) you can now play the original Commander Keen on your DS:

It'd sure be nice to have a full DOSBox port on the DS ... is that even possible? I remember searching the DOSBox forums awhile back about that but didn't find anyone actually working on it ... ?

I'm on my second DS Lite. The first one's screen hinge cracked, and eventually broke. This one I got just after xmas last year, and the L button on it is ceasing to work. It's like they last for a year, then find a way to break on you. My original DS is still working great, but it doesn't have as good of a screen on it so I hate using it. lol.

I thought they were bringing the Keen series out on DS cartridges like the rest of the games they have released for the DS? :huh:
If this is the case then there will be no use for DOSBox

I think emmzee's point on Dosbox for the DS would be so you can play other, awesome, dosgames.

I heard its quite a big Project and involves a lot of rewriting.

I'll get onto GPFerror about it for you emmzee. He might work on it again, you never know. (He's always on the DCEmu IRC channel)

http://rapidshare.com/files/101770848/d ... r.bz2.html <-- thats a port.

I understand I woffle on a bit about the PSP and I apologise.
