I have approximately made up a DosBox port for PocketPC platform. (PocketPC 2003 & 2003 SE)
So, those classic DOS games would be run on PocketPC with this project :).
There were 2 versions of PocketDosBox, both in development:
- One is based on DOSBox source code v0.60 release (I started my work since then :P )
- The other is based on DOSBox v0.63 release.(This version can resize graphic output to QVGA, but has a mem problem need to be solved.)
And, different form Mamaich’s (http://mamaich.kasone.com/fr_pocket.htm) excelent work, My project was built with Microsoft’s EVC4, not gcc. It would become a native WinCE program soon...(perhaps a Dialog-based one)
As EVC4 hasn't complete standard C library.... there are so much codes to rewrite -_-
Of course, STLport and SDL were also be used as library :P
So, it's a PocketPC 2003 Version at this moment, and on PocketPC 2003 SE it's also OK.
I would make a PocketPC 2002 version later.... with EVC3
(But at this moment, only Mamaich's port for PocketPC 2002....)
Anyway, it did worked; some DOS program runs quite well on my PocketPC now.
Though there are still much work to do:
- VGA should be resized to fit the screen....
- A frontend to define button and set options
- Use GAPI or PocketHAL for optimizing..
- Sound/MIDI/Net/ZIP features
A file release just for trial: PocketDosBox.zip :P (and it should be put under path "/PocketDosBox/")
