A port of DOSBox to the Wii.
Features

- Some old text-based games will run.
- Can run GW-BASIC.
- DOS commands work.
- Nothing else is working properly yet.
Notes from the Developer
Not ready for a release yet, this is still a work in progress. But we have made a lot of progress in a few days. Some games are playable already.
Installation
You need to use SVN and compile it yourself for now. Then put it on an SD card like a normal homebrew app.
Instructions
You need a Wii Remote and a USB keyboard.
The emulator will automatically create a DOSBox folder on your SD Card and mount it as C:. Place DOS games in this folder. It will also automatically create a dosbox.conf file in that folder, which you can edit to change emulation settings.
You need to press A on the Wii Remote to start.
Type "exit" or press Ctrl+F9, or press RESET to exit.
After DOSBox finishes you need to press A to return to Homebrew Channel.

- Lemonade Stand
