What's a good DOS emulator? I'd like to play Star Control II...

I've got an itch to play some old DOS games and it'd be awesome to be able to on my PPC.

Are there any decent DOS emulators out there that support sound and all that?

WarCraft, Star Control II, etc all sound like a bit of fun.

n/a

as in...doesn't really exist. i heard of one that was just OK but nothing to write home about...

the big concern i have is those games would not really be great to use without a keyboard, and yeh you can easily get a keyboard for most any PPC device but...yeh.

although pocket Raptor: Call Of the Shadows is enticing.

There is PocketDOS. It's an IBM PC/XT DOS emulator for Windows CE based devices. It's really designed for terminal applications, but people have also gotten some compatible DOS games to work on it. And it includes an on-screen keyboard as well.

It's your best bet to get some stuff working...

I've managed to get this working with a few issues....no sound yet and inputs is still kinda buggy, but it's very promising!
