libretro wrapper for DOSBox * To use you can either load an exe/com/bat file or a *.conf file. * If loading exe/com/bat the system directory will be searched for a 'dosbox.conf' file to load. If one isn't available default values will be used. This mode is equivalent to running a DOSBox binary with the specified file as the command line argument. * If loading a conf file DOSBox will be loaded with the options in the config file. This mode is useful if you just want to be dumped at a command prompt, but can also be used to load a game by putting commands in the autoexec section. * To be useful the frontend will need to have keyboard+mouse support, and all keyboard shortcuts need to be remapped. Unsupported features: * Physical CD-ROMs, CD images are supported. * The key mapper, key remapping does not work. TODO: * Explore more modern options for MIDI synth. Fluidsynth past 1.0.9 needs glib which isn't easy to build in non-standard build environments. * Joysticks need more testing. Flightsticks types are not implemented yet. Building: * To enable MIDI you must have fluidsynth 1.09 available. Add WANT_FLUIDSYNTH=1 to the end of the make command. * You must edit include/config.h to set options for build platform, the supplied version is for 64-bit OSX with latest xcode and clang. * Build with the command 'make -f Makefile.libretro' Notes: * There seems to be no trivial way to have the DOSBox core return periodically, so libco is used to enter/exit the emulator loop. This actually works better than one would expect. * There is no serialization support, it's not supported by DOSBox. * DOSBox uses 'wall time' for timing, frontend fast forward and slow motion features will have no effect. * To use MIDI an SF2 soundfont must be specified in the midi->midiconfig option in the config file.
