Hi, hope you can help me play the class titles I so love! 😀
I have a PowerBook G4 and while DosBox runs on OSX, it is too slow for many games...

I therefore thought I could put my old PC (XP still so not THAT old 😉) to use.
I don't feel like attaching a second mouse/keyboard though... also the PC is not physically close to the PB.

Now, I would like to use my PB as a kind of remote 😀
Transmitting input via network but not the display signal - is it possible?
VNC would do but it wants to transmit the display too...
so I need VNC - Display signal 😀

1. I dont agree it is not a DosBox issue
- it is about gaming USING DosBox - so why would it be offtopic?

2. The UltraVNC stayed in the dosbox forum

3. Moving it here is kinda like deleting it IMO...
WHO would look here - it is a absolutly non dosbox/gaming/technically related forum. (What is it anyways? 😀)

Yeah, don't expect VNC support....mabye sometime in the far distant future. Qbix suggests a KVM (Keyboard,Video,Mouse) which sounds like what you want.
