Dos emulator?

[kevinwit]

is there an opertational dos emulator somewhere out there for the pda? if so where can i find it. I was looking at some old games i used to play and think it would be kewl to run on my palm pilot.

PalmDOSbox is in the preAlpha stage, and even compatible with some games.

There's a review at TamsPalm, and some discussion at emuboards.

Here are the release notes from the download page:

Notes: Test Release. Graffiti input should be working. Use UDMH or other (if any exists?) memory manager to gain more free RAM for mulation. BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE USE! Expansion card mandatory (memory stick, SD, MMC). Do not store your games nested to deep in directories if possible. Naviagation keys should work as scrolling (except on Zodiac, I fear). All the others should work as left mouse button. If graffiti is not working, create a dosbox.conf file and put it on your expansion card (in the root "/"), but do not set any options, just enter mount/cd/start game commands. Although options should also work, you might screw something up by setting, for example, screen resolution to 1024x768?!

Theo's blog has more info on the required dosbox.conf file. Here is a sample file:

[dos]
# xms -- Enable XMS support.
# ems -- Enable EMS support.
# umb -- Enable UMB support (false,true,max).

xms=true
ems=true
umb=true

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount c /
c:
dir

Has anyone tried getting a quakec compiler to run on this? I attempted to use frikqcc but got errors requesting files, so I googled the files and downloaded them. When the compiler can find these files, it causes a soft reset and adds a file in the directory of the files, with a similar name but different extension.
