Not everyone (like me) has a USB keyboard, either from having older PCs and/or using laptops.[[User:NintendoManiac64|Nintendo Maniac 64]] 04:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

:Back in the old DOS days, there were many simple and complex frontends for DOS.... I've searched around to see if there are any good, easy ones and so far one of the smallest, simplest I've found is "The DOS Controller." Try Googling: "dc-sk.zip" and you'll find it easily. Just stick it in sd:\DOSBox\dc\ and add an entry at the bottom of the [autoexec] section in the sd:\DOSBox\dosbox.conf file that says: c:\dc\dc.com and it will start automatically when you run DOSBox. You can then use the mouse (wiimote) to browse folders and files and run the exe's for the DOS games you want by double-clicking them. The wiimote mouse control seems kind of weird though; if you can't move the moust cursor any farther in one direction, you have to move it off the screen in the other direction first.... --[[User:Mr. Reaper|Mr. Reaper]] 20:09, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

::This doesn't really work out because the games I wanted to play need keyboard input to at least hit the "enter" key just to even get into the game! (Duke Nukem 2 and Jill of the Jungle for example)  An on-screen keyboard like what [[QuakeGX]] has when you hold the - button would fix this.

::Turns out this doesn't really work anyway since the games I wanted to play need keyboard input to hit the "enter" key just to even get into the game (Duke Nukem 2 and Jill of the Jungle to name a few). An on-screen keyboard like what [[QuakeGX]] has when you hold the - button would fix this.
