I love dosbox, and I'm quite glad it's on my n800.
Any links to instructions on boosting dosbox speeds? It should all be pretty standard, since we're looking at the same hardware, no matter what n8x0 you're looking at.
Just for the record, I am a DOSBox fan too (of course), only I use it for old applications more than games (thus the reason I'd like DOSemu better, but that's not possible).
Well Stereoprism, the list of what to do in boosting speed can be rather long and extensive.
Main thing to realize is that removing Soundblaster in Dosbox and installing a game without music support is the strongest method to enhance performance.
I'll try to post several little suggestions though in a couple of days.
Sorry Javis for not mentioning you like DOS as well.
How could I have forgotten the dude who compiled this for us?
Maybe we should start a new thread on Dosbox performance tricks or something.
Maybe with enough feedback from a few of us we could get better final results by adding the compiled suggestions of everyone.
I'll start with the first trick:
I believe having the game folder located in your internal flash memory gives you about an extra 50 cycles speed boost when compared to using a memory card.
Maybe we should start a new thread on Dosbox performance tricks or something.)
Do you have a benchmark or some game you can easily measure performance?
If so, may I ask you to try a modified build of DOSBox I just made?
Debian package:
dosbox_0.73-7maemo4test1_armel.deb
Gzipped binary:
dosbox.gz
Use one of the above, not both (whatever is easiest for you).
