Keen and DosBox Wii
Keen and DosBox Wii
I finally got around to getting the Homebrew Channel and DosBox Wii, and I even got Keen 4 to run on it. The problem is you apparently need a USB keyboard to play the game, something I don't have. My aim is to play Keen 4 with the Wii Classic Controller. Is there a way to make DosBox Wii work with the Classic Controller?
Presumably you can set up the mapper file to handle it as a joystick or something, but don't ask me how to do that - I can't even get DosBox Wiz to work...

DosBox versions generally have a mapper file for mapping key-strokes of the source system to those of the target system. It's how the PC versions handle different keyboards and how the ports handle the buttons of the various systems. I would assume you can fiddle with this file to link your controller to the joystick or arrow keys or something, but I don't know how to do it.

Are you sure you don't have an USB keyboard? Any at all? Any old keyboard should work... If you don't have one you can get them for cheap.Pyry wrote:I finally got around to getting the Homebrew Channel and DosBox Wii, and I even got Keen 4 to run on it.

RoboBlue: the DOS emulator for the DS is entirely different. Won't help as DOSBox doesn't read those configuration files.
I'm pretty sure Keen 4-6 had joystick support... Have you tried that? If DOSBox on Wii behaves it might pick it up.
Wow look at me I'm lurking
