Hello all, need a little help here.


I'm trying to install a dos game through DOSBox. I keep trying to mount a folder on my SD card as a virtual drive, but it keeps saying "directory not found."


I think this problem has to do with DOSBox not allowing me to use a tilde ~.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


EDIT= Nevermind. I wasn't using the front end. Sorry. I guess you can close this thread now. Thanks.


EDIT2= Actually, this didn't wholly fix my problem. Still can't make a tilde. Anyone got any ideas?

if you're trying to use a ~ how is the directory on your sd card? ~ signifies your home directory, which is on the nand


should be something like 'mount c /media/mmcblk0p1/mygames' etc
 
You shouldn't use names longer than 8 characters in DOS anyway. Then you don't need the ~ ...
 
Dosbox uses the old Dos keyboard mappings where tilde is an upper-case back-tick. Press Fn-Shift-H


I'm betting there's a way to change this, but I'm sufficiently lazy that it's easier to just push three keys than it is to actually figure out how to fix it ;)

Could you tell me how to make a ":"?


Haven't figured it out yet and was too busy playing Chrono Trigger :D
 
In principle this makes sense, by default DosBOX assumes a US-keyboard layout (I guess). That's why ~ is shift+` and ; is shift+:


Does the pandora layout follow any standard-layout rule? If it does, it should be easy to change, probably right in dosbox.conf ... there: keyboardlayout=<KEYB code>

FN+Shift+H fixed it. Thanks a bunch!
