DOS for Smartphone?

[Guest sixonenine619]

I wanna play DOS based games on my smart phone, is this possible? The games are all about 1.44mbs if thats matters at all

Sounds like you need to get a developer to do a DOS emulator.

Maybe what you seek is SCUMM which is an emulator that makes it possible to play fx. "Monkey island" and "Day of the tentacle". You can play the ported versions of "Doom", "Duke nukem" and "Quake". If it is some specific dos games they probably has to be ported first. I don't know much about this but thats the way I have understood it.

its SCUMM actually :)

and hte smartphone version is called pocketSCUMM --> small review (by me) of it here :lol: --> http://www.smartphonestuff.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=41

Sorry....was a bit to fast with the keyboard hehe

[Guest markgamber]

Nope, there's no emulator.

Hm maybe it'll come out once, there's one for pocket pc's. The best I tested emulated an XT computer, which isn't really that fast... must be a lot of emulating :)

I never got pocketscumm to run on my c500, dunno, doesn't want to load.

I have had a Compaq Ipaq long time ago and I found a dos emulator for that one as far as I remember. I don't know if it could run programs and so but you could write the basic commands and move around in the directories. Maybe that one could be portet for smartphones.

The version I got was only a demo but it was possible to buy a full version I think.

the screen looks pretty bad i think

but as it is availble on pocket pc i am pretty sure it can be ported......

but think of that very small resolotion

and you cant even read the texts you have writtten....

maybe on higher resolotions smartphones(when availble!) it works better....
