Care to share the DOS version of this game?
EA has given that game out for free. So it's not illegal to share this game
I could only find the Windows 95 version of C&C Tiberian Dawn...

any chance of a faster version of dosbox for the n900? it's good for old games but not so good for the likes of heretic, cnc... I would love to be ab le to play Dark Forces on my n900.
Surely these games will run on a 486DX60... so shouldn't that work well on a 600mhz? ie 10 times the power?

"Normal Dos computer is like 12-16mhz"??? Are you high???
Perhaps by "normal" you suggest the middle of the dos time scale, if so then yes I could with a sack of salt agree but to say a pc running at 60mhz is a fast dos pc, well that's crazy! quake would not be playable and I know from experience. 90mhz - 110mhz (pentium) that's fast, fast. 60mhz is fastish.
Anyways I take the answer to my questions is "NO!"

[EDIT again] going crazy with edits i know, but it's better than trailing posts... You can see the 'Javis1' (repository binary) performance in the latest graph, vs attempts by me to speed it up. JavisPedro was _right_ when he said 'don't expect big performance wins'.

One experiment would be to update to 0.74,and another experiment is to try the armv4 recompiler instead of the current THUMB one (whose performance on the N900 sucks).

ye I just thought I read somewhere that as a "general rule of thumb" it's something like current processor speed devided by 10 gives u the speed u can emulate i.e the n900 has a 600 mhz so therefore 60 would be doable...
I honestly dono much about dosbox so i may have it completely wrong

What we can see here is that - disregarding sound (which was generated @8khz but not streamed in those benchmarks) - current dosbox is topping out around 3200 cycles, running doom timedemo, on stock N900.
However, setting dosbox cycles to "auto" gives a lot lower numbers, with glitchy sound. There are some things we can try doing to get sound more stable at higher cpu loads and cycles-settings. If anyone has time i can dig up some places to start tweaking.
