Type 'ls' and check if it's in your current directory?

Looking at the crazy mouse in windows it seems like there is a mismatch between what type of data the mousedriver in N900 sends and what type dosbox is expecting.
N900 probably sends screenpositions while dosbox interprets them as mouseticks.

-I think this should be very easy to fix by the dosbox mantainers, just convert the screenpositions to mousemovements.

I think that the absolute easiest way to do it would be to set up two variables for X-old and Y-old and then subtract the new X and Y from N900 with the old values, giving the mouse-ticks that Dosbox wants as a result. and then store the new X and Y as old X and Y to the next mouseread.

AFAIK last release of maemo dosbox contain fix for mouse, but need to be enabled separately - You need to download special tablet-mouse driver, then enable it in windows .ini file. then, mouse works like a charm on 3.1 or 95 Check dosbox thread for more details.

It takes a lot of work to get Windows 9x working on DOSBox from scratch.

The "could not extract geometry" error is most likely because the setting for the hard-drive image in the dosbox.conf file are not correct.

The DOSBox harddrive emulation has a fixed maximum amount of cylinders. As a result normal hardrive images can only be 512MB maximum. People that use bigger images use a hack by increasing the sector size. This gives them 2GB images, that is the maximum.
Also DOSBox only supports raw images, as far as I know (so 203MB for the uncompressed image would be incorrect, and indicate a corrupt or incompatible image).

A lot of good (but sadly sometimes slightly outdated) information on dosbox can be found in the vogons forum, including Windows9x guides:

the same problem. i cannot run w95 on my n900, because it says

could not extract drive geometry from image.
Use parameter -size bps, spc, hpc, cyl to specify the geometry

C:\>boot -l c
Unable to boot off drive C

I have an 100MB img file.

how can i modify the autoexec?
