pDOSBOX 1.1 - anyone gotten it to work with any games??

hey, it works!

That's great. tried to load a DOS game (Master's of Orion II), and it didn't work. At 1st it said out of memory, but when I alloted more memory to the program and then tried to load MOO2 again, it just, exited out of the program.

Has anybody gotten pDOSBOX 1.1 to work with any games?

I did a search for pDOSBOX, and DOS emulators on this site, and nothing came up. with all the DOS games out there (and the lack of quality games on the 6700) i'm surprised more people haven't tried this.

Is raptor that overhead jet-type game, like 1942? If so...I freakin loved that game.

Can we possibly get a list of games that work with this?

Also, did you guys follow the instructions and change the config to get full screen, correct resolution, etc?

Great source for old DOS games with pDosbox

Believe it or not, I got Master of Magic to run using this! (I had to turn off sound.)

Anyway, check out http://www.abandonia.com/index2.php for some good games to play.

Consider only running games where you don't mouse-click though, since otherwise you will have to keep the stylus on the screen the whole time. (When you remove it then it sends the mouse click.) There might be a way to change that, since DosBox is very configurable.

I couldnt get it to work.. anyone get this to work perfectly for the 6700?..

I wanna play Alleycat or Battlechess.. please let us know.. thank you

There was a classic tank game.. i cant remember the name.. Its a miltiplayer tank game.. similar to worms.. with much crappier graphics.. and the objective is to blow away the other players.. and your blasts get bigger..
My memory is a bit fuzzy.. if anyone remembers this game.. please say the name..

You think we can get the old GrandTheftAuto games to run??

I was able to get StreetRod to work using pdosbox, but it isnt really playable.

Anyone have any luck getting a game on there that is actually enjoyable to play?
