Dos?

[whiskthecat]

Anyway that gp2x could run DOS?

 

[Gandysampras]

Dosbox emulator is one solution

 

[whiskthecat]

Cool. Cuase theres a huge library of great dos games.

GPH said that DosBox is already being ported over!

 

[reallynotnick]

Its not going to run that fast though, so don't get your hopes up.

Rather look for ports like wolfenstein, doom, quake, and duke nukem (just to name a few)

 

[whiskthecat]

I was thinking along the lines of blood? Incase you dont know that game it runs on my 200mhz laptop with 42mb ram so do u think itl run?

Hate to sound negative but don't get your hopes up at all. It probably run at the same speed as the PSP port of DOSBox. ie EXTREMELY slow.

And to answer your question: no.

that would be badass to play Curse of the Catacombs on the GP2X.

Blood is an extremly difficult topic, as the source in not available, and rumor has it that it was actually lost

But there is this Quake1 based version called transfusion, that could maybe be ported:

Doesn't Quake already run? If so, then it shouldn't need to be ported, it's should just a case of using the mod datafiles, so long as Transfusion is using the original Quake engine and not some modified version, and doesn't isn't meant specifically for one of the OpenGL version of Quake.

**EDIT**

Nevermind, gotta stop drinking Nyquil.

On the subject of old PC games-
Think that a scumVM for the machine will be able to play Broken Sword and the other more advanced games the PC version does?

I'm not big on the idea of dos games for the gp2x even if it was perfect, the control system just isn't there for all the decent ones that there are (keyboard...)
