Updating to newer SVN and removing bloatware? #58

Open aznlir88 opened 3 years ago

aznlir88 commented 3 years ago

Hello, as dosbox support on wii is very important to me I would like to ask for an update. And maybe something even more important.

As far as I read in the config file it gives only 8mb of RAM for running applications. I just wonder, as i saw that this version is able to record audio from gameplays - would it be possible to remove all bloatware? I mean, things like making screenshots, recording audio etc. in my opinion can be removed. If someone is trying(like me) to use dosbox to the maximum on wii these people will never use virtual keyboard and just copy good edited menu with all the launchers to wii to play. Maybe if you remove all stuff that doesn't have to be there to play games we can have some more RAM to allocate for running games? Also virtual keyboard doesn't have the "=" sign or CTRL button - both very important for running dosbox. Also, usb keyboard - mini one can be obtained under 10$ on ebay so why even bother?

Would like to hear back what you thing about it - my point of view is - if you strip dosbox from anything that is not needed to run programs/play games - maybe we will get extra ram for programs that we actually want to run.

Is this possible, would love to try that version, hope it will end with such an release.

Thank you.

A updated newer inofficial version is available. See https://github.com/dborth/dosbox-wii/pull/57 But no bloatware is removed. "Only" updated and with dynamic recompiler support.
