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.

The C: drive will automatically be mounted to sd:/DOSBox/ if loaded from apps/dosbox-wii/. Otherwise, the directory the dol is loaded from will be mounted as C, and sd:/DOSBox as D (if present). The Z: driver is a virtual drive that is part of DOSBox.

 

Other drives can be mounted using the MOUNT command. Prefix sd: for an SD card, and usb: for a USB drive. The Wii's DVD drive and network folders can't be mounted at this time.

The configuration file is loaded from the directory the dol is located in (if present) and sd:/DOSBox/dosbox.conf otherwise. This file will be created automatically after you start DOSBox.

Please edit it with a text editor to choose settings appropriate for each game.

Press the Home button, type "exit", press Ctrl+F9, or press Reset (on the console) to exit.

Most games work properly now; however, many games will require some sort of adjustment to the dosbox.conf file. It is recommended to try the game you want to play on the PC version of DOSBox first to discover the optimum settings.

* '''Increase the number of frames skipped.''' Pressing CTRL-F8 to increase the frameskip by 1. Repeat this until the game runs fast enough for you. You can also set this value permanently in the configuration file.

* '''Disable the sound.''' You can try to disable the sound through the setup utility of the game to reduce load on your CPU further. Setting nosound=true does NOT disable the emulation of sound devices - just the sound output will be disabled.
