[Question] Why not create a WM2003/2005 version of dos4gw?

Wouldnt this solve the issue with getting dos based games to work on PPC's?

So if some enterprising kid gets a bug up his butt, we could CONCIEVABLY have the tool we need to have ALL of our Dos games PPC compatible.

so what's stopping us?

dosa4gw was the common file found in all the great old games of the dos days - doom, duke nukem, dark forces, etc...

Most DOS games ARE compatible using either PocketDos or the DosBox port to PPC.
