dosbox allows you to run DOS applications and games. The advantage over bochs is that it is
dedicated and preconfigured to run DOS applications. chyang has built a version of dosbox that
runs on the C3000 and C3100. I have packaged it as dosbox_0.6.3-3_arm.ipk. Once installed, you
can edit /usr/local/dosbox/dosbox.conf and add entries after [autoexec] to automatically launch any
DOS application you wish. For example:
[autoexec]
mount c /mnt/card/dosfiles
c:
cd tetris
tetris
The screen flickers a bit when you launch dosbox. Just press the Cancel key a few times. When you
have finished using dosbox, press Shift + Ctrl + Cancel to exit.
You might also need to install libstdc6_1.2.2_arm.ipk if you don't already have the standard C
libraries installed.
Alternatively, you can also install dosbox under X/Qt (or the newer pdaXqtrom package) -
[dosbox-x11_0.6.3-3_arm.ipk].
dosbox has a known bug that keys on non-US keyboards are mismatched and some keys are
missing, in particular the : key. This has been hacked by me for the Zaurus version so that Fn + ; is
:, and Fn + Ctrl + ; is ;
qpose
Emulating the Palm on the Z is possible provided you have a Palm ROM file. Install the following
and once done, use the Files tab to locate the ROM file and tap on it. The ROM will then be launched
by QPose.
qpose-data - [qpose-data_3.5-0.2-2_arm.ipk]
qpose-bin - [qpose-bin_3.5-0.2-1_arm.ipk]
