I watched the video and have no clue what qole saw in that.
I calculated this in my head just now, and by seeing that, I figured it's running about 4 fps.
Why not just use VNC and get Windows XP or Vista instead?
I can get about twice the frame rate going in that direction.

Next I'm going to try some games to find out which ones would be usable without a full keyboard and mouse..Btw, it became much faster when I set the frameskip to 2 and cpu cycles to max. Still not as good as my first PC, 386sx-16, but anyway, I think pretty impressive for a pocketable computer that has to emulate the whole hardware.
(If one wants to fool around even more, he might install the S3 video drivers into Windows, doesn't Dosbox emulate a S3 video card and might then get some speedup perhaps?)

Btw, it became much faster when I set the frameskip to 2 and cpu cycles to max. Still not as good as my first PC, 386sx-16, but anyway, I think pretty impressive for a pocketable computer that has to emulate the whole hardware.

If you really want to push it. Go frame skipping 4, cycles between 2600-3000 (someone correct me if I'm wrong about this), and kill off any sound drivers.
You should see a much better performance than the settings you already have.
Anyway, big props for testing this. Most of us wouldn't even bother trying, well, except for qole who seems to be delusional this week.

But for a simpleton such as myself, it feels like I am even though I'm just viewing the screen of my home computer.

How about Wine on the N900. Is that even possible? I am sure this has been discussed before in the context of Maemo 4. Does Maemo 5 change the landscape in this area?

The only ways to make x86 programs run on it is to either recompile them for ARM or run them in a virtual machine.
