LOL. I like the Mac on NIT. Very funny.

Nace0, just to make sure you understand: You'll probably never be able to play StarCraft under Windows emulation on an NIT. This emulation stuff is barely fast enough to play a couple old DOS games that don't require much fast motion. I just don't want you to go to a lot of work only to be disappointed.

At the bottom of my dosbox.conf file I have

mount c: /media/mmc2/dos

to mount the directory called dos on my internal SD card in my N800.

does anybody know how to optimize the whole thing? Windows 95 doesn't boot up at all, hanging on some point and advices me to "turn off the computer" (i'd better do i know :-)) and DOS 6.22 takes a minute to load where my 386/20 Notebook with 640k RAM (everything you need) took 5 Seconds, loading WfW 3.11 takes 5 minutes and is barely usable. I can't move the mouse smooth and dragging windows is already too much!

I'll now try to tune things in the dosbox.conf but if anybody knows which parameters optimize things, it would be nice if they share.

Try to run linux on your notebook (running windows I guess) and let's see how long it takes to boot.. you'll end up with same results..

I don't expect wonders but i think moving a window should run on an emulated windows 3.11 better than that. Or am I totally wrong?

EDIT: And further I don't complain on the slowness, I'm rather searching for ways to make it better.
