heh. I guess that's the next big optimization project. Every time I read forums for DosBox ports to consoles/PDA's I hear about how DosBox is a memory/processor hog. Not much we can do about the processor besides the obvious (frameskip/core/lower cycles). Hmm, mabye I'll poke around in the sources …

I wonder how much CPU/memory his program requires? Didn't Qbix say that DosBox runs in simple by default? He can also mess around with the memsize parameter in dosbox.conf. Although it's doubtful this program uses EMS/XMS.

Hal, you should check out MS VPC or Vmware Server. (Highly recommended to use Vmware if your going to use Linux....or anything else really). I see no reason why DosBox wouldn't compile in Knoppix. Even if the proper tools like GCC aren't installed you can still install them anyway assuming you have …

I hope that's a word..... ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOSBox As newer processors with 64-bit code will displace native hardware support for x86 code, DOSBox will eventually evolve to the point where it will have full-speed compatibility with Pentium-based DOS games. :rolleyes: As newer …

Yeah, I need to work more on the DosBox list. Things I hate about my list: I only keep my list updated with the newest CVS that I used to test.....so I don't have any comparison of earlier CVS's, and it's not like I go through all of these games every time a new CVS comes out. (I only do that when …

I just unpack them using the installshield unpackers. Yeah, you'd think someone would have come up with something by now. Heck, I can run x86 apps on a DEC Alpha with FX32 so you'd think someone would be able to write a simple emulation program to run a 16bit installer...... I'd bitch at the …

The list I maintain on PC Game Compatibility is here: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=8784 I started the list during Beta 3?? of Windows 2000 way back in 1999. There really wasn't much point in maintaining an NT4/98 list since I just ran all of my Windows games in Windows 98SE, Rebooted in DOS …
