Has anyone tried to get Masters Of Magic to run with DOSbox on the GP2X and, if so (and it worked!) what config/ mapping etc did you use? - not on the list of tested games on the wiki.

Sorry if this is a daft question - from early experiments, I'm getting the impression the GP2X doesn't have the processing power to keep up, but I'm hoping that I'm wrong on this!

Thanks,

Thanks Predatorramboxxx,

I've already had a go with a similar set of config and mapping files to the ones in your post below but I'm just getting black screen (i.e. it refuses to start) - I was really just wondering if this is a non-starter because the GP2X just hasn't got the power, or if anyone else has found a setup that works...

The 'readme' file for dosbox reckons that some games won't start if the cycles/ cpu cycle parameter is set too low and I have tried various settings up to about 1800 (supposed to be about the maximum the GP2X can handle) - is there anything else you would recommend playing about with in the config file before I give up on it?

Cheers,

Rard
