I am using dosbox from here
http://www.pspdosbox.co.uk/. I added an icon provided by MadZiontist, because it seemed to have a currupt icon. Then I had to change the builtin browser, as the one that link provided wouldn't even start, caused a crash. I also edited the dosbox.conf a bit, boosting the speed, as well was jumping the ram to 10mb. I am sure I did some other stuff too, but I can't remember. Ended up boosting Amazon Trails speed from unusable to more then fine.
Now I know you don't want to go to all that trouble I did, as it did take me a bit of time to get everything right, so here is a link to "my" dosbox, sans the games folder (Sorry
):

During my "trek" to get it to work, I also found that the psp section of the DOSboxWiki was lacking, just a bunch of post saying people should really add something here
. So I updated that a bit. Not great, but it is now a good jumping off point for people. Much better then before anyways. You can find that here:

The Learning Company games need a custom crafted bat, or you will constantly be pressing the hotkeys to change the keys around.
Sadly, I couldn't get Fallout to work/wasn't willing to wait long enough to see if it really would load. Also couldn't get my favorite Learning Comapany game to play, Gizmo's and Gadgets. Crashes saying it needs a vga card, but it bloody well has a vga card. S'ok though, I just made it into a deb.
Also couldn't get my favorite dos game to even start, with the same error. Ablion is bloody awesome. Though it was released in 95, and I doubt dosbox on psp on vita has the power to emu it, even if it would start. Come on native vita dosbox.
