Thank you very much, Pushwall! I modified mapper.txt and assinged Alt to zoom key. Now I can enjoy my old favorite HP calcurater on N810. Awsome.

Hello, I'm very new to the tablet.
But it seems to me that the dos box is a pain to install /setup.
would it make any sense to have a tablet Guru make an install or setup for it?
I hope my terminology is correct I'm also new to Linux.
I did like dos when it was popular, I still use it for a couple of Apps.
I would like to see an automated install into an Sd card or thumb drive.

thanks
Victor

There's everything you need: the dosbox deb installer, the xkbd deb installer, the ruby repository and the rubybox installer.
Install XKBD first http://pupnik.de/xkbd_0.8.15m-2_armel.deb, than DOSBOX http://pupnik.de/chinook/dosbox_0.72-0.2_armel.deb.
To use Rubybox to configure Dosbox you have first to add this repository http://gronmayer.com/it/dl.php?id=216 to your application manager, then by installing RUBYBOX http://pupnik.de/rubybox_0.3.3.deb every file needed will be downloaded automatically.

I forgot to tell you: browsing this page with you NIT will make things really easy, you will have just to click on the links I posted with you stylus

Phooey. I just got my new Nokia 810, wanted to install DOSBox so I could play "Master of Orion I", but I can't.

I dutifully followed the instructions in Tablet 101, which upgraded my N810 to Diablo. Unfortunately, XKBD requires libxpm4, and libxpm4 is currently incompatible with Diablo.

I guess I'll have to wait.

It should install fine, maybe you need to use dpkg or enable red pill mode?

It's an N810; why do you need xkbd? (Serious question; maybe that game needs other keys or something...)

Thanks. As it turns out, it needed red pill mode

No, you were probably correct the first time. I seem to have suffered a senior moment and temporarily forgotten that the 810 has a sliding keyboard.

I recommend you get RubyBox, with it you can configure Dosbox with a nice GUI, and save config files for all your dos games. You may be interested in this page (shameless propaganda) http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...d.php?p=211078, it has links to how to install everything.
