Indulging Nostalgia, With the Palm OS

Installing DosBox on my laptop made me a happy man. After many years, I was finally able to play classics like Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?, flashback, and even the first version of Civilization.

So when TamsPalm posted some screenshots of a Palm OS port of DosBox, that was big news for me. There are some shortcomings though: aside from limited (or maybe even none) text-input support and horizontally-cropped output (only half of the Dos screen is shown), I also wonder if the Palm OS can truly handle DosBox's notoriously voracious system requirements.

This is still a first step though, and a big one at that. Expect future updates from The Smart PDA.
