Well someone complained about it wanting libsdl-net. Let me know how things work for you. Favorite games, dosbox.conf tweaks.

I installed dosbox for the sole purpose of running old Sierra games on my N800. After tweaking for a few hours last night with the good old trial and error method, here are a few tweaks that i found to give better performance, at least for AGI and early SCI games. it wouldn't work on any of the newer SCI games.

Fullscreen=true (note: alternate input method is required as far as i can tell. Break out the bluetooth keyboard)
fullresolution=800x480
memsize=16 (n800 seems to have no problem with large memory sizes. i tested up to 64. it just starts up a little slower)
frameskip=0
scaler=normal2x (make the game fill the screen)
cycles=auto (VAST performance increase over any other value i tried)

That's all the good tweaks. I got sound to work at about 99%, but only on one or two games, but it was enough to give me hope for the future.

Now, if only we can get Space Quest 5 to work, then i'll be thrilled!

Space Quest 5 works. It's just a little slower than I would like, but i can't complain. If anyone knows of an implimentation of Sierra's AGI or SCI engine that will work on the N800, please post. I'm thinking something along the lines of what Sarien was on the Palm platform.

Viva la Abandonware!!!!!!

Just tried my dosbox 0.65 on it2007he and had horrid (HORRID) performance - dropping bt connection, synergy timeouts etc. Games wouldn't start. No idea what is up with that.

If anyone has reports of it on it2007he i'd like to hear feedback.

For later sierra games, there's a program called freesci that should be port-able to maemo. Il'l start a thread in developer to see if anyone wants a go at it.
