does anybody already (tried to) port dosbox to the N9/N950?
I really enjoyed it on my N900

Thanks, but I'm afraid that DOSBOX won't be of much use to N9 users since we don't have the N950 or N900's Hardware Keyboard.
It'll be like running DosBox back on the N800..... difficult at best.

Has anyone tried playing oldschool games via DosBox on her/his N9? Things like the settlers (first game did run on my SE Xperia X1 with WinMo allready) or Anno 1602?

what are the modifications made in the dosbox.conf file in order to get it running?
So far I added a drive letter (and folder), disabled sound emulation and switched fullscreen off. Anyway I am not having any keyboard visible (my old device had a physical keyboard...) so no operations are possible right now. what else is missing?
BTW has anyone tried a Bluetooth keyboard with dosbox?
