DOSBox 3DS is a W.I.P Port of DOSBox-SVN for Nintendo 3DS.

Features

  • Keyboard and Mouse (not all keyboard symbols are available).

Installation

Create sdmc:/3ds/dosbox/.

Copy the 3dsx file in the dosbox directory, alternatively, copy the cia file on the SD card (e.g. sdmc:/cias/) and install with FBI.

Place your own .conf files in sdmc:/3ds/dosbox/config/ to show the selection menu on launch. Dosbox starts normally when no .conf is found.

Or you can run dosbox-3ds once to generate dosbox-SVN.conf.

Edit dosbox-SVN.conf, find and edit [autoexec]. Example:

 [autoexec]
 # Lines in this section will be run at startup.
 # You can put your MOUNT lines here.
 
 mount C sdmc:/DOS/Dangerous.Dave
 c:
 DAVE.EXE
 exit

Changing the mapperfile, allows to save / load custom controller keymaps. Example:

 mapperfile       = mapper-dave.map

Create .xml shortcuts to load custom .conf files with the Homebrew Launcher. Example:

 <shortcut>
        <name>DOXBox: Dangerous Dave</name>
        <icon>/3ds/DOSBox/dosbox-3ds.smdh</icon>
        <executable>/3ds/DOSBox/dosbox-3ds.3dsx</executable>
        <arg>-conf /3ds/DOSBox/Games/dosbox-dave.conf</arg>
 </shortcut>

User guide

Please refer to the DOSBox manual which covers the basic use and features.
