Can they play old dos games, with graphics et al? I've used dosemu just a bit.
I use dosbox for playing "Master of Magic" - prior to finding dosbox, I was only ever able to make it play in the OS2 dosbox. (which I have long ago given up on).
I got it to work under XP, does that count? Gosh, I wonder where my installation disks for that game got off to. It would be fun to play again. I suppose I can probably "pirate" it from classictrash.com or something.
I have one here called "RailRoad Tycoon". It works OK, but it opens in a small window. I think the game's best resolution is 640 x 480.
There's an open-source engine very similar to RailRoad Tycoon called OpenTTD that runs natively on Linux. If you have the data files from RailRoad Tycoon, I believe it will load them. Check out http://www.openttd.org/ maybe you can stop emulating DOS entirely. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
