eh-hmm... appearently something got mixed up with the include hierarchy in the build tree (carbide.c++ does things a little differently in resolving include directories, it seems). i seperated all cores and their includes into their own dirs, and it started working (cause i only realized this once i shaped to code up so i could trace executions of the windows build, the emulator build, and the phone build side-by-side, see other thread... actually managed to build a deterministic version in the process.)

i've built a slim version...

those with memory issues should give this a try...

see the readme.txt for the specifics.

dependencies not included, download them for the first release (post on one of the previous pages).

edit: go to sourforge project site to download ("unsupported" package)

Wow!! Works on my E65 with only 15MB RAM free (currently as I've got other apps running)!!!
Was just wondering about T9 - is it possible to support it somehow?

when i say t9, i just mean the 12 keys with numbers on them - not actually the method for inputting text... :-(
so there's no support for that yet, but i'm thinking about it. for now you can only type numbers (or whatever you map to them in the mapper.txt)

Theres a mappable key event that turns the VK graphic on and off. The VK is drawn over the dosbox screen.
The a highlight selection is moved by the DPAD and the key executed by one the buttons. I had to do some special handling with the SDL surfaces to eliminate flicker when the VK was on. Most everything is in sdlmain.cpp.

Alright, but I'm not able to run any program. I've tried:
Magic Candle II - the setup runs well however after running the game itself dosbox quits without any error
X-com - dosbox quits after showing "Sound initialized" or so...
Magic Candle I - my mobile makes 2 strange sounds (probably generated by the game) and dosbox quits. Nothing is displayed though....

... is it that to initiate 13h mode dosbox requires additional memory to allocate? How much?

i'm signing off for a while (guessing about a month)

mainly because my real life requires some added attention...

but i'm also planning to improve my symbianish in the meantime, so i can "nativize" the port a little more.
while, as professional i know the effort will probably not be worth it in the long run, when everyone will have the 600MHz arm nokias with graphic accelerators, but for now it will be a good excersize (and fun) in optimized porting, and after all, i'm doing this for my own entertainment as much for the benefit of all mankind :-)

i'll post here again (or start a new thread with an equally suggestive topic) when i have something to release.

cheers!

Good luck with your real life kolijoco 😀 Look forward to see the future S60 DOSBox from you, as a 600 MHz ARM11 will still benefit greatly from whatever optimizations you do!

Since it's still a relatively slow CPU compared to the PC desktops that run DOSBox.

It was possible to establish on Е90 Norton Commander v5.0 as the file manager (sees system folders) and, the most impressing - has established in smartphone Windows 3.11!!! Friends in a shock... )))

Unique affliction - a picture not on all screen. Below there is an unengaged space. Because of it the map on internal screen E90 (800х352) is compressed ((readership suffers...

I just have to ask: are you using Google Translate to turn your output into English? I can barely understand it...

I tried installing this on a Samsung SGH-i550 (S60v3 phone) and the end result is not very good. Installing the main application is not a problem, but all related libs are only installable on true Nokia phones. I have compiled Dosbox for Symbian my self (but could n't get it to run properly due to memory issues), and I know all these dependency libs should not be needed, and those needed could be included as static libs.

This simplifies some issues at least when it comes to zlib support etc and will make the installation work on LG, Samsung phones also.

Keep up the good work, looking forward seeing the source soon, so I can build a UIQ3 versions. (And any source is better than NO source regardless its state.). So please provide a DL link for the latest source. 😀

Hi, Just joined this forum to thank u (4 trying), But there's a BIG Prob! As u said, the normal version will not work on My N95-1 (Yes, It Gives "Memory full" Error!), But even the Slim version is also not working, (Whenever I try to open DosBox, it do nothing!). The same thing is happening to various N95 users around (maybe on few other models to), anyclue why is it happening? I have installed all dependencies and have used default mapper.txt and dosbox.conf (C:\Data)!

(Keep in Mind that N95-1 has Dual 332 MHz Texas Instruments OMAP 2420 (ARM11-based) Processor)
