It would be nice if there were a dosbox version for mobile phones / PDAs

I just got Nokia N95, that have lot's of "cpu" (enough to watch divx-movies ect.)
So, it has potential to run dos-box, if there were..
Legendary games for new phones.

Is there anyway?

There isn't any Symbian port of DOSBox as far as I know. With the 300mhz CPU in the N95 you will only be able to play old DOS games from the 80s, tho.

If you tried some DOS game from 91-98, the phone would choke and die 😵

I do look forward to the day when the phones are powerful enough to play the first two X-COM games, though. Would be perfect on longer trips. 2K Games own the rights to those now and I wish they would make phone remakes. With a native port (and not emulated), the high-end phones of today would easily be able to run it.
