This is the first I have heard of this...
Any more info on this? This would be so awesome, running all my dos favs
from my amiga 68k....

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

Okay stick to linux box for dos emu. But I would still like to see a working port...
and I applaud these efforts...

Best regards,

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!

Root (linux)

\ Windows

\ DOS

\ AMIGAOS3.9

\ AROS

\ATARI

\C64


Linux runs it all. If you like software and trying things, linux lets you run everything... Windows too but its sexier with linux.

Nice video of pctask but if the frame rate during gameplay is so bad, its not really relevant....

I would really like to see warcraft,wing commander,xwing and tie fighter on an 060 amiga 1200.

warcraft,wing commander,xwing and tie fighter on an 060 amiga 1200.

Anyone get these running? Run beautifully on AROS...

Have not tried that.... Lately I've been installing hordes dos games on my linux box. I'm up to like 6 gigs and counting. I  would prefer to get them running point and click... I have alot of icons and shortcuts to create...

When most dos games were out, I missed playing most of them because I was running a bbs 24/7 on my main pc at the time... I mostly used my amiga 500 for myself and the pc for the multi node bbs... Its funny to see how much I missed.

I forgot to ask... Does anyone know a good joystick that works with dosbox?

Will an old school one that plugs into the sb joystick port work? gotta check the back of my machine but I think it has this port, otherwise will a usb joystick work with dosbox? I never used a joystick much on a linux box.

Even if its for winuae only, or for amithlon, its still a great adition to classic amiga os.

If your running a dedicated emulation system, you can add thousands and thousands of
dos games to your fun box.

Keep up the great work novacoder!

I still have huge amounts of dos games on my linux system. Someday I'll have time to move them over to my aros box, but most of my hobby computer time is spent on linux these days.

Congrats to novacoder for even attempting porting dosbox. I never tried pc-task but I know its a bit more complicated to setup I've heard. I already know how to use dosbox quite well on my windows and linux box... Couldn't be simpler.
