Did you know Dune 2 runs on an PocketPC?

[stefanhendriks]

I have an IPAQ 1915 lately, it runs on 300Mhz (using XScale overclocking, which is legal as the chip is made to run on 300Mhz).

Anyhow, i have also PocketDos and tried Dune 2 on it. It runs, but it runs as slow as on an 8086! Like in the old 'good' times.

Thought you should know,

also i am downloading an SDK for the PocketPC and try to dig in some manuals, perhaps i can write a Dune 2 on the pocketpc, perhaps not. Just a wild idea. Btw, i also heared some dude was already doing this, hows the news on that?

great to know it works .. never thought you could just run it, so never realyl tried. . .I might try it out on my PPC's alpha. :)

Don't expect to much, it really runs slow and you need to play a bit with the memory/system settings to get it working a bit better. The emulation only goes as fast as 8086, so it aint fast. Perhaps there is a Dos emulation that runs faster? ;D
