Also set the amount of memory your VM will use.
Note that on a PSP you have to use the "ms0:/" prefix as the root of your filesystem (see the example configuration in the downloads). It won't work on newer firmwares (v1.51, v1.52, v2.0) because it's impossible to run homebrew applications on them at this time.Ĥ) Create a directory named VM in the root of the memory stick (e.g X:\VM).ĥ) Copy the disk images and bios files anywhere on the PSP.Ħ) Edit the bochs configuration file so it will point to your disk images and bios files correctly. I haven't tested it on a v1.5 firmware so I hope it works. If you have a version 1.5 firmware you need to repackage the file using KXploit. You can also download some readily available images from here.ģ) If you have 1.0 firmware put the EBOOT.PBP file under the GAME directory (e.g X:\PSP\GAME\BOCHS where X is the PSP drive).
I highly recommend installing the OS on a PC before moving it to the PSP (unless you want to spend the next 10 years staring at a progress bar). Some sort of keyboard input should be implemented although you can use the windows virtual keyboard right now.ġ) Create your bochs image and configuration files. The analog joystick should be used for mouse support. It is possible to rescale the screen using the built in 3D hardware acceleration and I will get on it soon. This of course takes a lot of CPU time and slows everything down quite a bit.
I've used a simple software rescaling algorithm so the entire screen will fit into the tiny 480x272. It's sort of like trying to push the mouse the other way in order to stop it. The solution is to counter the movement by moving to the opposite direction. Once you get the mouse moving it will keep moving in that direction even when you're trying to move to a different direction.
I suspect it has something to do with the "boost" feature windows has. In windows, mouse handling is extremely difficult. If you want to do your word processing on it then wait until keyboard support is implemented (though I doubt it will be any fun using the joystick). However, I couldn't do much with it because there's no keyboard support. I've also tested DLX Linux which comes pre-packaged with Bochs and it works just fine. Now you too can get your Minesweeper fix on the go I was able to do things like: open "My computer" and browse the virtual hard drive, complete a whole game of Minesweeper and run various other applications. It takes about 10 minutes to boot but afterwards it's pretty usable. Windows 95 actually runs quite well but don't expect it to be a speed demon. I've done it by porting the excellent open source x86 emulator Bochs.
I've managed to run Windows 95 and Linux on the PSP.
