load it from a telnet and see if theres some feedback from dosbox?

its a way to run a command prompt from your gp2x over the usb network cable.
1. turn on the telnet server in the gp2x
2. if windowx run telnet <ipofgp2x>
3. login name = root
4. at this point you can browse the nand and sd, find your dosbox exe and run it

i havnt got a clue... maybe it better to double check your dosbox.conf, what is in your autoexec section?

its probably worng lol i suck at stuff like this

here it be:

[autoexec]
mount C "/mnt/sd/dosbox/mnt/sd/dosbox/MAGICBOY"
c:
cls
MAGICBOY.EXE
exit

mount C "/mnt/sd/dosbox/mnt/sd/dosbox/MAGICBOY"
c:
cls
MAGICBOY.EXE
exit



shouldnt "/mnt/sd/dosbox/mnt/sd/dosbox/MAGICBOY" be "/mnt/sd/dosbox/MAGICBOY"

cheers didn't even notice that lol - i'll give it a go

EDIT: that didn't work

could it be my gpe:

#! /bin/sh
/mnt/sd/cpu_speed.gpe 1 -20 233
DIRROOT=/mnt/sd/dosbox
DIRGAME=${DIRROOT}MAGICBOY
cd ${DIRGAME}
${DIRROOT}/dosbox -conf ${DIRGAME}/dosbox.conf
cd /usr/gp2x
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu

cd ${DIRGAME}
${DIRROOT}/dosbox -conf ${DIRGAME}/dosbox.conf
cd /usr/gp2x
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu

DIRROOT=/mnt/sd/dosbox
DIRGAME=${DIRROOT}MAGICBOY

That would make DIRGAME equal to /mnt/sd/dosboxMAGICBOY. You're missing a / character I suppose.

Thats the only thing I see, by the way theres a app that was released that setup some the files for dosbox, I have no idea if its works.
