I am sorry I have no idea in regards to the PSP port of DOSBox. Is there no specific PSP documentation or README included with the port package.

Hi, my problem is to use CTRL-F11 and CTRL-F12 on PSP. I cannot define to use them even with

INPUTMAP select lctrl
INPUTMAP ltrigger f11

or such tricks. Is there a way to use speed changing hot keys somehow on PSP under DosBox?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I was looking for a way to restore my mouse. I used to do that by going fullscreen and then restoring the window. I found a better way to do that here. Thanks.

I am guessing ZMBV playback wouldn't work on something like Apple's Quicktime. You would need a player that is based on the open source ffmpeg library. Try MPlayer or VLC media player. Both are available for the Mac, and are open sourced, I prefer VLC myself. MPlayer VLC media player

I had a play around with it and got all the capturing to work but the video playback will not produce anything visually, only visualy. I am trying to rectify this but am not able to play with the ZMBV codec as you suggest on my platform.

Thanks for your reply.

I don’t have access to OS/X. And seeing Apple do not allow you to run OS/X on non-Mac hardware, I never will.

From quick research it seems the Mac version of DOSBox is not unlike the GNU/Linux version. So you have to create the directories yourself. I suggest reading this to get yourself up and running .. http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/DOSBox_and_Mac_OSX

Once complete, in the folder containing your DOSBox.conf file and DOSBox, you should create a “CAPTURE” directory. That is where, by default DOSBox will send any captures. You can change that directory to a different location, but you will have to search for and edit the line captures=capture in your DOSBox.conf.

Also instead of using the [Ctrl][F5] keys for screen-shot capturing, you might wish to try [Option][F5] etc.

Sorry that is the best I can do without access to a Mac myself.

It would be nice to have a Mac version, I’m sure they are not too dissimilar but the Mac version does not have an install directory with a folder for screen captures and video captures and I’m still tryin to figure out how to do it..
