- vunderba 4mo agoAt least the ARM-based binary of DosBox-X (a variant of DosBox) runs natively and works great for everything I've thrown at it like old Apogee games, etc. https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x
- benoau 4mo agoWow that brings back some memories, but I was playing those games on a 386 running them on any hardware from this century must be absolutely trivial.
- vunderba 4mo agoOh yeah for sure. I used to play Commander Keen, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Major Stryker, etc. though it was on a 486 SX 25 MHz back in the day too!
