If you enjoy using old-school interface programs then you'll definitely get a kick out of this new homebrew DOS emulator developed by Darksidious for the Sony PlayStation Portable. Entitled PspDos 0.1, this Lua-based program features some of the basic commands found on the DOS platform, as well as some additional commands applicable for the PSP handheld.

The interface itself is a literal blast from the past, complete with the basic DOS prompt set on the root directory of your handheld's memory stick. PspDos also includes a set of commands, which you can type in using built-in keyboard interface, that allows you to manipulate some files and directory found on your PSP.

Here's a list of the basic commands you can enter using the program:
  • Makedir: You can create a folder.
  • Exit: It lets you leave.
  • Cd [folder name]: lets go in the file.
  • CD -R: lets go to the root.
  • Cd -p: can return to the previous folder.
  • Del [file name]: lets you delete a file.
  • Deldir [folder name]: It lets you delete a folder.
  • Exe [file name]: allows to execute a file lua.
  • Time: gives a time.
  • List: to list the files of a folder.
  • Usb: enables it to turn on / off the usb.
  • Info -a: to view information on the PSP.
  • Info -c: to view the credits.
  • Info -g: to view the background information.
  • Help -[command]: to view the aid for orders.
  • Select: To show the former command typed previously.

» Correct.

This is not a DOS emulator, it is a CLI file manager (command-line interface.)

» got some commands wrong :P

first of all, you either use ls(linux) or dir(CLI DoS) for listing the documents

you can use cd .. for going to the previous directory





and some other suggestions for the developer, put a --help option after each possible command, and then it shows a list of possible commands. It really helps when using CLI programs in linux or windows ;)



but otherwise, this can have good prospect.
