DOS emulator for games

Hey, does anyone have freeware (or even demo version) of a DOS emualtor? I'd like to try it for old sk00l DOS games.

Thanks!

I'm interested in the same question myself.

I found this MSDOS emulator:
MSDOS emulator

but it seems a bit steep at $40 :crooked:

Can anyone recommend a DOS emulator?

Don't know how fun that would be, as most DOS games were hard-coded for a certain number of characters as the width of the screen. Therefore you'd be doing an awful lot of scrolling side-to-side (assuming the DOS emulator supports this) on the Axim screen. :) I doubt there is actually a DOS emulator for PPC that goes to the extent of resizing while constraining the accurate screen ratios.

Actually microsoft provides this as freeware,
but I've only got it to work if I installed this
PocketConsole driver also...

http://www.symbolictools.de/public/p.../cmd/index.htm


You will need from their site:

CMD <-- Provided by MS
PocketConsole <-- SymbolicTools (Driver)

Symbolic Tools also has their own version of CMD....

I must be missing something. Do I have to have the one from Microsoft's site? If so, please post the link. I'm not sure of all the components I need to make this work...
