So I've searched and posted in a similar thread in the games sections. I don't think x86 emulation belongs under games so I'm posting here in order to help gets a much larger audiences feedback.

I've noticed the maemo community has a dosbox build. What I'm wondering is how extensive of emulation is this. I noticed someone in the games thread stating that it was for running old dos games (which is awesome to me, as I'm a die hard fan of more than a few), but not for running windows.

Is this a build limtation, or does the phone in general lack that kind of software emulation? Ie. can the phone work with the BOCHs plugin for 4/386 emulation?

I know hardware wise the phone more than meets the requirements to do so. I mean I've run windows 95 (albiet rather slowly) on a 6 year old dell axim x3 300mhz running winmo.

Anyone have any experience in this field? Perhaps using the N810 for example?

Would it be possible to install a desktop Linux build?

Any feedback is appreciated!
