Hello,

I just downloaded DosBox Emulator for PocketPC in Version 0.63 some days ago. But I have no idea how to make it running any games. Is here anyone who knows this emulator for pocketpc and who can give me some hints how to configure it? I want to play games like Ultima VII - It works fine with my DosBox Version 0.63 for my PC, so I hope it will run on the PPC emulator as well . . .

Here's the website where I found it: http://n0p.averest-k.ru/?Welcome

Greetings from Germany . . .

Hey Bjoern! Welcome!

Okay, nice to find another human who is interested in dos and dos games.

So you like dos, i want to advice to you to try pDosBox - http://pocketwall.com/ . This is another port of dosbox for ppc. I like it more vuz it is more comfortable but i think a little bit slower than dosbox at http://n0p.averest-k.ru/ .

Also try pdosbox2 beta2 at http://www.pocketwall.com/beta2/ - i use it now and very happy.

What problems with games do you have? Now I play colonization and it is really cool.

Should this port work only on WM2003SE? I tried it with WM2003 and it didn't work Sad

You can set the ram to 8mb. Still it has its bugs, I'm personally having trouble with the control mapping. Fortunatly the guy is activly supporting the project and the message boards there get updated pretty often. In other words, its not a dead community, like many projects out there, and updates are being added. Frankly its the most compatible one that I've seen yet, and it beats the shit out of PocketDos, which emulated such a weak system that you couldn't run any "powerful" games. That being said, I still have failed to run Terminal Velocity, Duke3d, and Descent.
However I've gotten much closer with this port than with others. Duke3d actually starts booting up. Plus the issues with these games will be adressed in the future soon. I did manage to run Prince of Persia one and two, but as I said, I'm still working out the quirks in the control mapping. Anyway, I strongly suggest you give this port a shot.

Omg guys, your are very wrong. The above "guest" was me(I forgot to type in bulletcrazy in the username box, and I'm too lazy to register).
The Beta 2 is open to the public, I'm not a beta tester. Anyone who wants can go and download Beta2(and I highly recommend this). Best emulation of dos I've seen yet. The beta-testers simply post the results of what games they tried to run on what system and what happened in the forum.
Its totally open to the public, so in other words.......you're wrong.

I mean maybe it wasn't public before Smile

So any problems? Wink
