Has anyone tinkered with using one of these 486 single-board computers for a standalone retro-gaming system? http://www.advantech.gr/products/sbc/pcm-4825.htm CPU: Embedded AMD 5x86-133 (DX5-133) processor • BIOS: AWARD 128 KB Flash memory • Chipset: VIA VT82C496G • System memory: One 72-pin SIMM …

Yeah I picked up a little fanless celeron 10" netbook to use for dos gaming. it works very well. 2gb ram and old 60gb SSD. I couldn't resist the lure of a a 7" portable Windows PC though, Microcenter had the Winbook 7" on sale for $59, and was just a little surprised touchscreen wasn't really …

I did but I can't get it to work windowed. It's a damn shame Doxbos doesn't already support this, there is a real glut on the market of cheap Windows 8 x86 hardware that'd be PERFECT for portable little dos gaming machines. Do any of the unofficial PC ports offer this functionality? Or am I allowed …

The forum search only pulled up some threads from 2011 and a link to an updated SDL that doesn't seem to work for me. Basically, is there any way to get relative input via touchscreen rather than absolute? I.E., the location I touch on the screen is registered as a mouse click at that x/y, rather …

Everything you see is running locally on the phone through a Debian chroot environment. Telengard is playable. Ultima IV crashes with "Bus error".

OK, you were right. Duke Nukem shareware, reports 14 - 15 fps at 20,000 cycles under both 64 and 32 bit, normal core. 64 bit reports that dynamic core is unknown option, and remains at 14-15 fps max. 32 bit manages to squeak out 50 fps at about 80% cpu usage with dynamic core. So that settles that.

AH, so the 64 bit version does NOT support the dynamic CPU type? That probably explains everything I was seeing, then. I'll see if I can scrape up Duke Nukem and do a FPS comparison.

i thought the speed should be the same. not sure where the Bitu is used in a critical speed part. I don't know either, but the graphical display of the rotating ship WC3 uses to benchmark the video speed was very jerky under x86_64, and smooth as silk under i586, after about 20,000 cycles with " …

The only game I have that offers any sort of "benchmark" was Wing Commander 3, and with "normal" CPU emulation 64 bit was somewhat faster than 32 bit. On a scale of 0 - 20, with 0 being the fastest and 20 being the slowest, WC reported 13 for x86_64 and 15 for i586. With "dynamic" core emulation, …

Would dosbox offer any improved performance under a Linux x86_64 system?
