Maybe I'm just not using the right search terms, but there has to be some kind of file browser out there that runs in 320x200 (or 240) video mode, right??
Nothing fancy, just something similar to DOSShell or Norton Commander. It would be very useful for things like CRT televisions, or DOS emulators on low-resolution handhelds, to be able to browse through folders and run games/apps without an entire keyboard (even if it doesn't load back up when you quit the game).
Bonus points if it can run on DSx86 for the Nintendo DS, but I'm not holding my breath.
The closest I've been able to find are frontends for DOSBox. I need something that actually runs inside real (or emulated) DOS.
Alternatively, maybe a driver to run something like GEM in low resolution? I did find one link that has a driver for FreeGEM for CGA or VGA, but I'm having some issues getting that version to install/run in DOSBox, so I'm going to have to keep working on that one: https://www.z80cpu.eu/mirrors/www.seasip.demo … vers/video.html
OpenGEM I've got working fine, but those drivers don't seem to work with it.
