Description:
pDOSBox is a PocketPC port of the infamous DOSBox DOS-emulator. pDOSBox 0.63-p1 is based on the latest DOSBox 0.63 (as of April 2005).
pDOSBox has been developed on a PocketPC 2003 SE, and it should also run just as well on PocketPC 2002.
Like DOSBox, pDOSBox emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, DOS-like directory filesystem/XMS/EMS, mouse/joystick and EGA/VGA/VESA graphics system. The DOS o/s being emulated is rather rudimentary, but good enough to launch your favorite DOS applications, and even batch-file-driven DOS applications. You may choose to install other o/s like MSDOS, FreeBSD, Linux, etc on top of the CPU emulator.
Unlike DOSBox, sound system emulation (SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card) is not available in pDOSBox. This may change in future ports depending on popular demand.
pDOSBox is statically linked to SDL library. And pDOSBox can be run off your Storage Card. This means you need not install some user dll or executable into the precious storage memory of your device.
The author has released a beta version which run much faster. Those interested in testing the beta version can visit here (pDOSBox R2 Beta 2.0).
