You can see the dos console. check out http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/DosBox I only put it together yesterday so it may or may not help. There are a few games listed that ive tested and sample files configs. Check out the installation section and see if you got it right.

Tyrian 2000 (http://members.iinet.net.au/~vannevar/tyrian/downloads.html) works well, but still too slow to be really playable.
Is there a way to integrate a Cpu tweaker into this dosbox port?

I've been getting reports of people who can't get it working. It's very odd -- some people have no trouble, some never see it work. I'm trying to figure out what the common denominator is. Obviously, I haven't yet.
I'm also seeing some discussion in the Devel section here that some folks are having trouble with the HW-accelerated SDL. It may be related -- I don't know yet. My first thought right now is to generate a SDL "hello world" app using the HW-accel SDL and see who can see it.
As far as speed -- I haven't really done much yet other than compiler optimization. (It used to be a lot slower, if you can believe that.) This first release was really just to show that it will work -- at least for some people <g>.
I'll try to do some updating on the wiki myself. That's probably the best place to share info.

I have compiled some simple applications that used Paeryns SDL so I don't think thats it.bjimba posted on Feb 20 2006 at 03:26 AM said:
Strangely it worked once for me. But I pressed lots of keys (in shock) and suddenly it was on the black screen again.
Btw you did compile -static didn't you? Or should I have some SDL libraries on my GP2x.

Speaking of which ... if you run arm-linux-strip on the binary, it's only 2.9 MB.

D'oh!
I made the (in retrospect, stupid) assumption that DosBox's Makefile would have run strip. It probably does that during 'make install', which I didn't run. Thanks.

If you're using the dosbox.conf and mapper.txt that I included in the tarball, [Enter] is mapped to the GP2X [Vol +] button.
This, and the other key mappings I picked, are in the README.gp2x file in the 'blockout' directory.
