Hi,
Is there any way where I can get DosBox running on my rooted HTC Dream? Based on http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 - there seems to be support for running it on Linux based systems. Can someone please point me in the right direction or maybe a project group that is porting it over to Android? Thanks
Nobody with any answers?
I'd imagine it would be possible, but it would probably take some "porting" to get it to work well.
Why would you want to run DosBox on your phone anyway?
To play old DOS games on my HTC Dream. I find the Gameboy, SNES, NES, CPS2 emulators to be very enjoyable. But the type of games are limited on those platforms. DOS games would really hit the spot
Can I install debian on my phone and then install the DosBOX package through it? I have no experience in Linux at all, except following instructions (step by step) from those who know. Anyone can help on this?
Hi there,
i guess this topic fell asleep because there was no other interested users. So here I am! I Just want to give a possible reason for a dosbox implementation for android: Bitmap Brothers Z! Or do you see another way to port this game?
Regards
Micha

There are presently two ways to use DosBox on your android. First being the new alpha stage DosBox built for android which can be found at the androiddosbox.appspot.com and the second way is to download the knock-off called DosBot, which is a port from the original DosBox code and repackaged for $0.99 on the Android Market.
I've not personally tested either of these, because I'm waiting for further releases and bug fixes however if you decide to test them out, i'd be interested to know how it functioned on your specific device.
aDosBox works fine, but with some graphics glitches (like flashing for full screen refreshes).
I use an external bluetooth keyboard with it because aDosBox doesn't manage virtual keyboard (on-screen). I have the Freedom Pro keyboard with has full keys (including ESC which is useful in DOS).

I cannot get it to work on the Kaiser, has anyone tried this yet?
Won't install for me either. Says it's not intended for this device.
I'm running v3.0 Sleuth. Could be it doesn't like WinMo 6.1, but I have no way to verify that unless I reflash.
I have a t-mobile Wing and it doesn't work either. I think it is because all the phones listed as supported are smartphones (without touch screen).
Anyone know a work-around install for touch screen based units?
Just look at the name of the file it installs: SP50.cab = SP= Smartphone.
I've adjusted the CAB a little to allow it to install on a Kaiser. But when installed it's not 100%.
It installs, you can run the MSNDirect.exe through File Explorer, but as the controls are geared towards SmartPhone, it's not all that usable
Perhaps someone with additional skills can tweak it.
Is it possible for someone to tweak the program to be more touch friendly?
I'm pretty bummed about this. I've had a SPOT watch for years and would really like to have it on my Kaiser.
I have a Dash sitting on a shelf at home, that my wife didn't want, but I really can't switch to a Dash for MSN Direct.
its work for me
samsung b7320
but no wethr for iran .......
sucks!!!
but rep+++

Wow I didn't even know this service was still around...I used to have one of the watches, they were pretty cool.
This does not pertain to Kaiser Rom Development. Please post questions like this in the Kaiser General section in the future.
Thank You
It would be very good to see an Installer based application for HTc Touch Diamond.
For people that do not know what Installer is, it is an application for the iPhone that downloads and installs other application on the phone.
And since the Diamond has WIFI I think it would be nice to have this kind of app.
So anyone what to make this kind of app?I will be happy to donate.
P.S Since it is a windows mobile phone it already has a million apps.
oh i would love the guy who make that happen.
Diamond + EvolutionRGB (iphone "game" you can get mith the installer) would be the last thing i need for my diamond. except getting tomtom worked
If I had some experience in writing application I would have tried to make it myself , but I have absolutely no experience
most sites offer a cab file which is relatively easy to install
the app would never work because it would require all developers to have the database in the app or accessable by the app
to unfeasable
the onyl reason iphone can do that is because apple controls everything and distributes via apple
so hence iphone can get them
not gonna happen on wm
You are probably right, I know its easy to install software on wm with cab files,but Im just saying that it would be great and easier
ya would be but
databasing would be nigh unmanagable... unless u get something like linux packet distro's
even so seems to be a lot of work for little effect
are u sure that there is no way to creat anithing similar to the installer.app?
a prog for wm just tu enter these "sources network". i thnink these iphone users calling the thing theyr doin "jailbreaking" and that doesn't sound very legal either.
pls can anyone tell me it is possible.....and if not then pls explain exatly why. so i can stop dreaming of it
thx in advance
Set up some kind of xda-repository (spelled right) just like I see on Linux communities ...
I will be in moscow in a mouth and a I know a few good developers there a might talk to them
Is AppToDate not along the lines of what you're looking for..? Or at least a starting point..?
Google it to find out more (is liked to the iPhone thingy) and take a look at:
http://www.modaco.com/content/apptodate/267096/download-apptodate-supported-applications/
Seems a good idea to me - although at the same time I can never imagine enough people signing up to it!
Hello
I am looking for a Dos Emulator. specificly so I can use some old Games I have. primary a series from TSR Gold box Series.
any way can old Dos programs be used on Mobile Windows?
I've never actually tried it but you can get a build of bochs for PPC.. that should be able to run DOS.
Have a google for "Bochs PPC"
or
pocketdos
or
dosbox ppc
google away
outstanding!!
thanks everyone
now I just need to figure out how to get the sound to work in Pocket Dos/Dos Box
Hey there,
Does anyone also own a Freedom Pro Keyboard ? It works to install the ****ty Firmware but i cannot connect the Keyboard with, so that the User defined Shortcuts are unable to manage .
They (according to their FAQ) know the Problem, but their solve doesnt
work.
So my question to you guys is if you solved this problem.
thx a lot for any helpful answers
I have had nothing but trouble with Freedom keyboards - I tried the Freedom Pro, but I could only get it to do the basic keyboard functions with my HD2, no special buttons or characters. I sold it to my wife who uses it with her Blackberry without any problems at all - possibly this is an issue with WM becoming defunct, developers can't be bothered to produce proper software for the platform any longer.
I remember I had issues with the Universal 2 before that - again, it works ok as a basic keyboard with the HD2, but both keyboards actually stopped working if I loaded the proper drivers!!
Unfortunately, with the departure of Stowaway/iGo, Freedom are in a monopoly position in this market.
Bottom line - if you want a basic keyboard of a good size and ease of use, it's ok, but don't imagine you are going to get fancy features based on my experience.
rjstep3
Ok, thx anyway for information ..
i bought it because of the ability to define Shortcuts
i think i sell it on ricardo / Ebay ..
but i've seen some other Keyboards somewhere in a I-net-Shop.
so hopefully i will find some handy Gear
update:
is it possible to inactivate the WM HID Software ?
maybe this would help .. or try another Bluetooth Stack ?
ok again update:
maybe they fixed something, but i downloaded a few minutes ago
the Firmware (its the File for Broadcomm BT Stack, message to all noobs like i am
installed it again and , hey , it works !!
thx because i was going to be angry ....!!
Sorry if this has already been addressed, I searched but couldn't find a post on it. The only way I currently know of running XDAndroid on my Diamond is to run it with Haret. Unfortunately, I pretty much have to keep my phone plugged into a wall somewhere, because I get about 1 or 2 hours of battery life, and that's it! Is there a way to flash XDAndroid to the phone itself, so that's the only OS on the phone? I'd be happy to completely ditch WinMo at this point.
Thanks!
Thinking about doing this myself, but my diamond shares the same battery life as well. Would installing it as the main OS even help with this issue? Has a fix been found for the battery in XDAndroid?
I am a n00b to XDAndroid, so sorry for my n00bieness, lol.
WM is Useless
I also would like to know if it is possible to do a full flash to android. Android is stable enough that i am prepared to take it on full time.
Would also like to know this, just using android would be great!
NAND support is not high on the to-do list. They finally came up with ext2 support as of 6/12, but it is not yet ready for widespread use. Also, hw3d acceleration requires you to first boot into WM and run Sense or another 3D app for initialization.
The main problem from what I've read is that since the hardware was not tailored to Android, a lot of the low-level stuff relies on WM initializing the hardware before haret takes over. If someone wants to cook up a bare-bones ROM that gets WM up to a point so that Haret can autostart, like someone did this for the Touch GSM, that's as close to "Android-only" as it can get at this point in time.

Android on Diamond...
Hi guy,
Don't think Android will work perfectly at this time. It still building ! It's why there are no ROMs yet: it's easier to update the system from SD card (not in read only mode)
But we are lucky because of XDA
The best way for Diamond is to install the CAB from this post :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5420781#post5420781
With this, you only have to run the XDAndroid shortcut in your start menu
This release allows you to run Android in overclocked mode ! 650mhz instead of 500mhz
Just replace /internal storage/Startup.txt file by /internal storage/devices/diamond-overclocked/startup.txt
You can also add a dual boot manager :

Verry usefull to auto boot your favorite system
