Use a shell, or just map a key to tab and press it to cycle through the files in the current directory.

New patch and binary fixes the input issues that are causing problems with dos navigator (hopefully for good) and adds support for the full x86 address space so windows enhanced mode works.
Using 3.52 M33, with IRshell, have tried disabling the IRshell load, and hard reseting the homebrew. I have tried it under IRshell 3.52, 1.5, and File Assist
it wont load properly when i try to load it in File Assist, the .conf doesn't run, but the program loads, IR Shell 1.5 seems to load it just fine, with the .conf file correctly, and runs pretty well, but there seems to be no exiting without a crash (that seems to include like exiting to dos from a game, as well as hitting HOME in the middle of the game. IR Shell 3.52 wont load it at all for me.
It's been a minor anoyance that just hadn't realy thought to mention, until you said something.
Let me know if this is the same for you, or if you have a different problem.
I guess that could explain the problem I am having get mouse clicks to work. the trigger works but only if you press another button first, but this adds an extra input everytime it try to click with the mouse. I guess it must be a M33 issue

Am I the only one on 3.52M33 here?
I'm using 3.03OE and having no problems so it's possible M33 is the problem. Although I've only been running from PSPlink, perhaps I should test it from the XMB.
crazyc, is dosbox 0.71 a proof of concept application at the moment? Is it to early discuss beta testing issues other than the apps stability? If so, I apologize. I have noticed the difference immediately with some games, however the button mapped keys tend to be a bit unresponsive at times. Playing 4D Boxing is a good example of what I'm talking about.

Is this with the most recent binary? I've made some changes to the input code.
Sorry, I have not tried the latest build. I'll check it out now. Regardless, great work. I consider your emulator to be the one of the best and most underrated emulators around.
is there any chance geting win 3.1 working? runing it in with win crashes dosbox runing it like this: win /s thows me back into free dos with this error: cant read user.exe (this same install works on my pc in dosbox 7.1).
FreeDOS? Are you running from a bootable disk image? That should work but it would be better, at least worked for me, to run it from the dosbox shell. You probably have to use a disk image for at least windows itself though otherwise you'll running into the memory stick open files problem (i don't for sure though because I run it though usbhostfs for testing).
Whenever I press either triangle (rshift), square (space), cross (ralt), circle (rctrl) and then a directional button with this in my dosbox.conf:
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
@ECHO OFF
INPUTMAP up up
INPUTMAP right right
INPUTMAP down down
INPUTMAP left left
INPUTMAP triangle rshift
INPUTMAP square space
INPUTMAP cross ralt
INPUTMAP circle rctrl
INPUTMAP start enter
INPUTMAP select esc
SYSOPT clock 333
mount c: ms0:/dos/
c:
dosshell.exe
and it makes that direction go on autofire and doesn't stop until I press the button again, what am I doing wrong?
And why won't it let me press a direction and then the jump button?

sorry i was runing it from the dosbox shell. disk images? i didnt know dosbox supported them, what format are they? iso, qemu, bochs? is there a utility for the pc that makes them?
EDIT: there iso. but i dont know how to make a empty iso, can someone post a link to a free utility that can make isos. or a 15 mb fat formated iso?
EDIT2: i got it to work. i used magic iso to create a iso with windows on it and started it from the dosbox shell, it boots up fine but the mause dosnt work (i know its not frozen becaus it continus loding icons and such).
IM back! wrote:your right i tried it on my pc, but I can’t find any thing about it on the dosbox forums. Dose any one know what driver is needed?
No driver needed. I had the same problem but fixed with the newest posted build. Make sure you are using it. I'll have to put a timestamp in the builds like with 0.60.

Let's keep it in this thread, don't want to clutter the forum.

I just tried it in standard and enhanced mode and mouse works in both

Make sure the drive letter of the mount with windows on it is the same as the one that it was originally installed to. I other words if you installed it to a disk mounted to C:\ the disk it's running from must also be C:\.

still working on getting no keys working, switching my firmware tonight to 3.4OE to see if that fixes my problem.
My biggest issue is that I want to edit batch files, and my config file on the go, and the keyboard scheme is so tedious, no keys is a much easier on screen keyboard for dos,
I'll switch my firmware tonight, and then see if it works
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
switched to 3.4 OE, dos box runs just fine, still cannot get nokeys to recognize a left mouse click, does anybody know what the key would be called if I wanted to assign the left mouse click to a different button?
INPUTMAP cross lmumb
?
something like that?
i tried that one and it didn't seem to work, do I have the command right? is it available in the code?
Is the program NOKEYS just twacked out?
Any Ideas
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crazy, if I wanted to see dosbox just as you do, what firmware should I have, and what program should I use to launch (please give me versions)
I can see what potential it has, but just cannot seem to get the configuration just right. I want to run my psp the same way you do because obviously when you test your own code, you test it on your parameters, and thus design it in a way that it seems to function best on some firmwares, better than others
also could motherboard versions have an effect on the performance?

Got a link, I'll look at it.

there is a problem with disk images in dosbox psp because if i lode windows 3.1 from a iso (cd image) it boots fine (in about 30 seconds @ 333mhz) on the psp and pc, but if i boot it of a hard disk image (.img) it hangs at the windows 3.1 logo on the psp and boots normally on the pc.
