Was wondering your opinion on the following subject.
I have an old system, early 90's, with custom video hardware. This hardware is required to run a certain 3d-intensive (well, for the early 90's it was pretty intensive) application. It's all DOS based.
The custom hardware is pretty much impossible to acquire anymore, any remaining video boards for it have been depot-level repaired at least half a dozen times, and its not looking good that they'll keep being repairable much longer.
Now, compared to today's 3d video hardware, this technology is ancient and slow. My idea is; to modify DosBox to emulate the functions of this ancient video hardware, so the application can be run on modern systems.
Now I am not a programmer at all, but my question is: Is this feasable? Could it be done? Could DosBox be turned into a virtual Emulator for this ancient hardware, and run it on modern day machines?
