Tamakoshi Hiroki,

i appreciate your quick reply,

the reason i'm asking about user mode is that i'm hoping to try wine in qemu user mode on the n800. i'm not expecting anything amazing, but if we could run, for example, an old PC game that is neither executable under dos or scummvm, that would be awesome.

if you're interested, would you try wine and share your steps in doing so?

i found a post of people trying this very same thing on a predecessor to the n800, the Zaurus SL-C3100.
