Will the pyra be great for portable DOS gaming?

[vampire8bit]

I wish I have had had an IBM DOS PC for gaming back in the days as there were lots of great dos games but it was too expensive and complicated to set up. I would now love to play dos games on a portable device and pyra looks ideal. I know nothing about dos games and presumably we will be getting dosbox ported.

Will pyra have enough power to run all types of dos games upto and including the late 1990s fullspeed?

In short, yes

In less short, it depends on the games, but check the box86 threads.

Dosbox will run on it, and it is plenty powerful enough for most none 3d games. I intend to finally beat Albion.

Might be worth mentioning; I had a lot of fun playing Dave Gnukem on my Pandora.

I think the Pandora alone was a good DOS gaming device, plus I've had some amazing results with optimized compile of DOSBOX on the OMAP5 devboard that @Wally was working on.

The Pandora struggled a bit with most demanding games, so I guess the Pyra should be fine.

I threw quite a lot of DOS games at the OMAP5432, it seemed to handle everything at full performance

@netcat I owned those DOS versions... yeah it wasn't that good.
