I want a answer fome someone hwo codes and knows the DS hardware :)
no offence I just want a accurate answer

The Nintendo DS looks like a good choice for a dos emulator. I've been waiting for some one to code a Dos emulator for the DS so far no one has. So is it possible to port DosBox to DS or emulate Dos at all on it. __If not I would be very surprised.

Someone please try to port DosBox or emulate dos for the DS thats the only thing DS does not have. (thats possible to emulate)

ps. I'm not demanding it I just would like to see it happen sooner or later. ;)

I would like to add my support to this request. Just imagine how many great classics we'll be bringing to the DS simply by porting one application.

I've posted a request for Commander Keen to be ported, but now that I've read this post it seems like all efforts will be better spent on porting DosBox as doing so will allow Commander Keen and thousand other games to run on the DS.

Please, some talented DS developers, help us relive our youth :)

Dune 2 DS would be 2 great. Stunts, Master of orion, X-Com 1 and 2... Jagged Alliance, Scorched Earth, I'm getting needs... I would pay 40 buck for each of these games on DS. Really!

Oh baby, scorched earth! Maybe I could finally make DSMS work is Dosbox can be ported...
Was "Doom" Dos? I want the old doom.

i attempted to port my dreamcast port of dosbox to the ds, but was unable to get it to compile because of not enough memory.

I also attempted to port openkeen to the ds, its compiled but runs out of memory during the decoding of the graphics.

I heard that the Opera browser is coming with a memory expansion, so if someone makes a cartridge that takes that and an sd card.......nvm that'd be mother-frickin huge...lol
