Indeed, but that would require M-HT having a Pandora and enough motivation for it

Also, it's Warcraft 1 and not Warcraft 2.
I have my Pandora ordered, so when I'll have it at home and I manage to find some free time, I'll get the statically recompiled games working on Pandora. (That means Albion, Warcraft 1, X-COM 1 and X-COM 2.)

i love commander keen because the nice gameplay and colorful sprites.borgqueenx said:Good to hearEvilDragon said:Played Pirates! Gold a few days ago on DosBOX. And Commander Keen 4. And Civilization (though that doesn't make much sense as FreeCiv is better).

That's only for Keens 1-3. Keens 4-6 are much better. And then there are the fan-made sequels, at least one of which I think is better than the original games... ED, it would be awesome if you could demo Commander Keen 8: Dead in the Desert next time you make a video. The download is here. It's a mod of Keen 6, so it should run fine in DOSBox.timofonic said:borgqueenx said:Good to hearEvilDragon said:Played Pirates! Gold a few days ago on DosBOX. And Commander Keen 4.

Sadly, it seems to not support Commander Keen 4. But supports the others and mods
Just to clarify.... under dosbox & qemu we can expect a speed of 20 MHz 386 in EMULATION ? Can someone tell me what is the expected speed?Chip said:

If I recall correctly, at 600 Mhz we can expect about 4000 cycles. It was probably a bad idea to try and link that back to a real world system; all it's done is confuse people.cosurgi said:

I guess that benchmarking qemu and dosbox, will be one of the first things to do.
Was there some kind of old DOS tools used to benchmark PC speed? You know, like those we have today that say "this computer: ... GHz" "Some other processor: ... GHz". Of course such results are questionable, who cares
I recall that one of devs with a devboard reported running SS1 under dosbox, and said that it was playable. As well as warcraft 1.
Goes slower. You're telling the Pandora to try and do more than it actually can. Imagine instead of "cycles" we said "play MP3s". It has the power to play 3000 MP3s all at the exact same time (it doesn't, but we'll pretend it does for demonstration purposes). You then start 12'000 MP3 players. It makes an attempt to play them all, but the result is that they all just slow down to about 1/4 speed or less, and so too does Dosbox when you tell it to run more cycles than it actually can.Wolenber said:
