The version I build took 35 minutes to load Win98SE, so I ditched it since it wasn't really usable. However,  if you just want to play DOS games, installing only DOS in bochs is much faster than running Windows, but better yet, try the dosbox package.

Would you like to give me more information on the bochs version you are running? I thought it should be the zbochs. I manged to ran it but only 320x240 screen size. That may result in a little better performance.

yes, i did use a self tweaked version of zbochs and it only ran in 320x240 mode. It ran quite slow so I suspect running it in 640x480 must be much slower unless you got the optimized bvdd version of the sdl lib from atty.

For C1000 user, find the SL-C3000 inside and replace it with SL-C1000, it will make it work.

wow, I tried your version and it only took 27 minutes to load win98! what an improvement!

[vagrant_h]

great! Thanks for chyang.

WIN98 is too "hard" for zaurus, i think DOS may be better.
really wanna play old dos games on the Z

2 qn. I install a dos 6.22 image on windows and xferred it to a SD card.

1) What did u set as the display for the bochsrc. I selected SDL full screen. but display was in portrait and a bit jumbled. will experiment with the SDL libs later again.

2) How do u exit dos if in full screen mode?

1) Whether you select the full screen or not, my modified bochs will select the fullscreen mode. For the default VGA mode will set the resolution of 720x400, which is not supported by Z.
    The problems look like with the SDL, have you used the library in the package? C3000 or C1000? C3000 can directly use it while C1000 need to do some modification to the binary, replace the string "SL-C3000" with "SL-C1000".

2)I also met the same problem. I logged in using network and then using kill. Later It seems that we can write some simple .com file to call the stop bochs, just like the power button in bochs for Windows.

Okie, found out my problems of screen corruption was due to the screensaver kicking in. To solve the problem of exiting, I binded one of the keys to a script in /opt/Qtopia/bin which kills bochs. Finally I can play my Bandit Kings of Ancient China

Dosemu doesn't do CPU emulation, so it won't work. If you're looking for DOS gaming, grab DOSBox, which does do CPU emulation and has a Z port.

Thank you for your info.
i've found dosbox before, but it can only run under pdaXrom. did you ever seen one that can run under sharp original rom?

package removed at 9:30 (GMT+8)

Hello chyang,

is the tar.gz file attached to your posting from sep-1 the new working package, or do you still work on the package and plan to attach it later?

I'd be very interested in running DOS on the Z!

Thanks

daniel

hi, It's the working version. I have deleted the wrong file and attached the correct one. while forgot to remove the message. It seems to be better to include in my first post.

Thanks. :-)
Downloaded it and will try it now.
Would you be so kind to share your bochs configuratoin file and maybe a working DOS image (all versions of DOS 5.0 or above would be good).

The libDSL links the tarball creates existed already and were linked to other versions of libSDL (which did not work for bochs, missing symbols).
So I redirected the links to the versoin supplied by you. I hope it won't lead to any problems with other programs.

Thanks again
daniel
