Bochs V.0.2, Now With Keyboard

[madelman]

Ok, so after seeing so many people couldn't get it to run I thought about implementing a virtual keyboard in Bochs so, at least, you can try FreeDOS.

I've written a guide on getting FreeDOS to work, it's in my homepage:

Also you can download the new version at:

When I have more time I'll write a guide on installing Win95.

Hope to hear your comments.

Sorry for the obnoxious off-topic question, but madelman, are you still working on phamicon? I was hoping for a new release with sound and command line support one of these days!!

Thanks madelman, I'll try it out later. I was looking forward to FreeDOS more that Win95.

Is there a way to zoom in on the screen, as the hardware scaler seems to suck, and mess the virtual keyboard.

Badass man, bad freaking ass. Now all you need to do is add the "goFast!" line somwhere in your code and were laughing.

I remember owning this DOS emulator for my Psion Series 5 (EPOC) which ran better than expected on such a dated little machine. (Leisure suit larry worked fine).

Anyway, my point is, I think the GP2X should in theory be able to produce even better results given the specification is much more advanced.

I guess the problem with slow speed lies in the bochs implementation. Can it be trimmed down at all?

The difference is XTM emulates a 8086, whereas Bochs can emulate up to and including a Athlon 64.

looks awsome! cant wait 2 use it

PCE also looks like a good PC emulator. It emulates a 8086/8088 PC with a EGA card. Optimized CPU emulation cores exist, including one for ARM. So it *could* be faster than Bochs.

Win95/Dos Games maybe but Word WHY?

Pocket Open office all the way!
