Wii DOSBox v0.73 (EPITECH)

Hi everyone, Google Translation: A port of DOSBox already exists on the Nintendo Wii by tantric guru and Carl Kenner, but that doesn't mean someone else can't have a go, as the same project was developed in parallel by a team of students from the "Epitech" computer science school. Note the few major differences between the two ports are emulation speed and a virtual keyboard.

Our main motivation comes from our passion for RETROGAMING.
The Wii, which lets you listen to old NES, SNES games etc, has no way to play DOS games. DOSBox wii ports fill that gap.
External content (video or audio) hidden: it sets its own cookies. PS: If anyone knows how to bring up the virtual keyboard I'd be grateful because I haven't found how it's done :oops:

EDIT: I found a little trick for those who don't have a keyboard for DOSBox or while waiting for the virtual keyboard to be truly implemented.

Open the file dosbox-wii.conf then right at the bottom you'll see this
@mount c sd:/dosbox
@mount d usb:/
@C:

and change, for example for the game moktar which is located in the folder dosbox/moktar at the root of your SD or USB card, to this

@mount c sd:/dosbox
@mount d usb:/
@C:
CD moktar
moktar
(without the .EXE extension) your game should launch if DOSBox compatible

But I'm wondering, could a trick like this work for installing Linux on an SD card?
