First of all, i must say that dynamic core is great! I can play Full Throttle at full speed (~7000 cycles) in my PIII 866! My question : Is it true that no matter the improvements it gets it will never be able to play every dos game? Normal core will always be the most compatible?

This applies only for the current design of the dynamic core:

yes.
Very thight code loops will kill it.
e.g.

a:
cmp mem,01
jne a

(mem must be changed by an irq)

Maybe there will be fix for that but it would go at the cost of speed.

It's promising but it will probably never be perfect. Should work for some games though. DOOM runs nicely for the few seconds before it crashes 😀
