You asked lcuk to build CVS, while we're both Northerners, I'm not him but thought I'd try anyway :P

latest binary from CVS built in Diablo_ARMEL: http://freefile.kristopherw.us/uploa...y12/dosbox.txt (rename from dosbox.txt to dosbox)

Nothing special done, just a 'CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=armv6j -mtune=arm1136jf-s -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=softfp" ./configure --prefix=/usr' and that's it.

EDIT: if it isn't obvious , you want the deb below. Javispedro has put out an awesome build!

You can check my port, it has the following goodies/quirks:

- The usual hildonization: icon, task navigator, window title, CFLAGS, mouse pointer hidden.
- Stores dosboxrc in ~/apps/DOSBox 0.73 Preferences.txt, and mapper.txt in ~/apps/mapper.txt
- The keymapper gui has been "compacted" so that it fits a Maemo 4 window. Launch with "dosbox -startmapper".
- ARM Dynarec compiled in (enabled by default for protected mode applications).
- An nearly complete rewrite of dosbox builtin keyboard layout. It is now more FreeDOS keyb 2.0 compatible ( original dosbox keyb did not support some keyb2.0 features; freedos keyb does not work either: you can choose between a working, but beta implementation or a non-working finished one). The "keyb" command itself uses a different syntax.

If any of these "features" bothers you I can remove it. Or you can get the source.

Remember to thank the DOSBox Team and ArnimS. They've done all the hard work.

Download: dosbox_0.73-3_armel.deb

Changelog:
0.73-3: fixed some keyb bugs.

I am also distributing a FreeDOS keyboard layout library with support for US & spanish n810 hardware keyboards.

No, this didn't have the dynarec enabled - configure.in doesn't have rules for enabling it on armel devices and I assumed it wasn't available for ARM. Glad to be proved wrong. But, anyway, like I said, this was a straight build and uploads of better binaries would be appriciated. Oh, you did so while I was posting. Thanks.

OMG, this is an awesome build! Thank you!

big speedup in prince of persia - now fluid without sound hiccups
doom load time much faster
wing commander a bit faster w/o sound hiccups
test drive 2 noticeably faster

mad props! cycles can now be upped from ~800 to 1100 in some games

edit:
Ultima 5 speaker sound glitches fixed
Ultima 6 almost playable fast now in tandy mode
Ultima underworld loads 50% faster

biggest increase with dynrec seems to be on 386 level cpu-bound games.

tip: add a sdl_disablecursor or whatever to startup

Please patch it to run Daggerfall properly.

I was always a big fan of DOS.

Are there extra settings that need to be adjusted to get games to run right?

I've tried

Master of Magic (sloooooow, froze while "building worlds' after character select)

Warcraft 2 (reset n810 during dos4gw load)

//ED: Where in time is carmen sandiego (super slow / choppy)

Tips / suggestions?

For Warcraft 2 try Stratagus - runs with decent speed on my N800.

Thanks.

I'm not really all that interested in playing WC2 (beat it like 10 times), I'm just trying to see what I can run in dosbox.

these games are too new. dosbox on n8x0 is still essentially a 286 @ 12mhz

also forget daggerfall ukki.

the games you mention there, aren't they for 386? (i know doom is)

///EDIT
i found a torrent with 3000 old dos games in it. hopefully i can run some of them!
