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.
