Dosbox?

[SiN]

Just wondering if anyone is working on (or even thinking of working on) DosBox, or right now is it low priority?

Hopefully when and if it's done it can run ~100Mhz (assuming 2x200Mhz could be utilized)

The thought of playing games like Dune, war2 and crystal caves on the gp2x is so appealing!

Dosbox, I think, is quite slow, even on faster PCs, but it would be a challenge.

you can be happy if it can emulate a 10mhz 286...

And I will be happy. You can run all sorts of stuff with that.

But "from scratch" PC/XT/AT emu for the 2X would be better...

Personally, I thing we won't see DOSbox at an enjoyable speed. We might see another PC emulator (or virtual machine, as you prefer) like Bochs, or a GP2X-original-emulator, etc... We need a well-optimized emu, nota slow-but-good-brand one.

According to GPH someone is working on it. Whoever that is.

well, i for one have a few worthy dosbox.conf files and a tarball or two of ol-school CGA games still fun to have a play with on the bus from work, so if there's no effort, but interest, i guess i'll give the port to ARM a go, though i would definitely believe the OE guys already have the tricks down ..
