Dos

[Bert]

will it ever be possible to emulate DOS on the gp32?

if the person makin the winCE on geepee32.com finishes it we might just have the windows OS on there.

i was thinking about games like prince of persia or formula 1. those are very old dos games which are quite a lot fun. would be awesome to play them on the gp. and since scummvm already allows us to play the old lucas arts adventures, which were dos games as well, i just thought it can't be that hard. but im not a developer thats why i asked :unsure:

It'd be great to see that happen!

WinCE can never be publicly released, its commercial and copyrighted by microsoft.

I wonder if DOS is the main part of an OS? in that case my last post would be the answer.

Well just a free clone of dos running on the gp32, that'd still be a great thing to have!

Pleas use the search funktion/google next time, thank you

ps:

To be honest I doubt there are that many non 3D dos games that aren't available for the Atari ST ,Genesis or some other well emulated system. Prince of Persia for example was released for just about every platform under the sun.

For a dos emulator, you would just need a pc emulator. Maybe emulate a 386, with vga with 512k memory, 16meg main memory and a sb emulation and were there. The reason I say 386 is because it was the first 32 bit wintel processor and would meet the requirements of most old dos games.

from what I've heard, there are so many parts to a PC that a GP32 would need to emulate that it would struggle to do a 286 with about 6 MHz, IIRC.

 

[kuriboh]

I guess it would be pretty hard to do. But I stay happy

Remember, there's no floating point unit (FPU). That would be very hard and slow to emulate. Some programs for old pc's don't require a FPU, but many do.

I hope people realize you can't search for words less than 3 characters in length.

That means DOS, BLU, FLU etc. etc.

So screaming at people to "SEARCH DA F&%@ING BOARD!!!!!!!!" is not only rude, it's ignorant. The search function is limited.

Your civility level is improving somewhat now. Still needs some work but, improving.

You should simply have posted that in the first place, since obviously when you say "SEARCH THE BOARD" people will think you're suggesting they use the board's SEARCH function. Get the idea? Good.
