Dosbox can emulate a fast 486. Depends on settings.

Yes I have alot of things installed on aros for dos using dosbox... Works nicely...

I have never tried pc task on amiga 68k, how well does that run things?
I think I saw someone running windows 3.1 on an amiga 1200 once. Ran slow as balls, but it ran.

And THANK you novacoder for even attempting this! Yes, prove them wrong!

Would it need a 68060? Can it run wing commander? fast tracker II? Screamtracker?
NEOPAINT? What about star wars xwing?

I doubt it based on the performance of DosBox for the RaspberryPI which I did not find usable. That is 800mhz... I think for Amiga PCTask is probably the best...

My Nokia N900 will load up an almost usable version of Daggerfall with DosBox and it's an 600Mhz ARM.

And that was a game that came out in the era where they were still managing to make DOS games, that also had a 'Windows' version as well.

I haven't tried much else on it.  But the real thing I think that would slow it down would be converting VGA to AGA or something, though I'm assuming anyone attempting DosBox has some sort of graphics card?

I would love to play around with this, alas I only have a stock 040 in my A4000D.  Anyone offering an 060 for a price that won't make me poor?  I have a barely used soul for trade.  :D

Thanks, I'll do my best :)

I'm also working on another couple of AGA ports (including NetSurf 68k) so it will take me a long time to get this DosBox v0.74 port to BETA stage.

This Amiga coding thing obviously only a hobby for me but I do what I can to give people a reason to dust off their old Amiga's and have some fun again ;)

Speaking of DOS, how hard would it be to get a Sierra AGI interpreter running on 68k

I'd love to be able to fire up some fan made works I.E. Space Quest 0 and The lost Chapter.

Just use my port of ScummVM, no need for DosBox 68k...

Will it detect AGI games not designed for it?

Also I kind of figured a direct AGI interpreter could run on systems with less resources, or am I thinking wrong?

Not sure if even a JIT enabled 68k DOSBox running on an 060 would be usable, but some folks have gotten Win98SE running on DOSBox.

Yep I had 98 running on my AROS box.

Fish was planning on adding the OpenGL emulation from the DOSbox port, but I don't think he ever got around to it.

Are the compatibility listing in the original ScummVM homepage which is directed to the mainstream OS such as Windows, Mac is accurate enough for ScummVMAGA?
 
Thanks.

do you mean this link?

The different version of ScummVM support different games, there was no point in me adding support for 'The 7th Guest' to the A600 version for example ;)

The version the supports the most games is ScummVM RTG 060.

BTW, you do known this is a thread about my new port (DosBox 68k AGA) and not my existing ports of ScummVM don't you?

* shuffles feet, look at the floor * Sooowwwyy :o:o
 
By the way back to the DOS AGA, if you manage with whatever skill you have to get DOSBOx working on AGA Amiga 1200 with 20 fps or even 15 fps I will donate money to you till the end of my life!!
 
You would have managed to bring HORDE OF NEW games to the Amiga 1200/4000 giving these system new life with a whole new meaning :D :D
 
I mean already the Mac 68k Emulator gave a new COLLECTION of apps and games into the Amiga 1200 that with AmiMSX and the other emulators out there, with your now new ScummVM AGA plus the already NICE LIBRARY of software and game collections originally designed for the Amiga making the Amiga A VERY fun system indeed!!!
 
Hey in the future see if you can get C64AGA out here and since there is a C64 cable from AmigaKit that allows you to hook real 1541 Disk Drive into the Amiga system and read foppy disk you can just master and perfect almost the original C64 computer emulation and then the emulation requires the REAL Disk Drive hooked into the Amiga...OMG you would have turned Amiga INTO A REAL PURE C64 with complete feel as I will be using the real disk drive to load games instead of emulated disk drive!!
 
Soooowwwwwy I went again off top :( I am just over excited at your super skill in programming. I am just saying you could ACTUALLY succeed in getting DosBox to work then you can easily do C64AGA as well. Then all I have to do is put a stick on my Amiga 1200 case: MSX Sticker, Console stickers, C= 64 sticker and DOS sticker...hehehhehe
 
I am getting all giddy.. :)
