DOSBox - Coming soon to a dreamcast near you

[wraggster]

GPF has posted news that he is working on a Dosbox port to the Dreamcast:

Iv got the shell running so far on my dreamcast hardware, still needs some work and don't know how fast , compatibility ,sound etc are working yet. Still need to figure out how to mount the dc gdrom as a drive to load dos games from also.

If it could load stuff from the GD-ROM it'll be good, i always thought DC Linux should of had that feature.

I'm sure he meant GD-ROM drive (meaning getting the drive mounted so you can play what's burned on the disc). DOSBox's default drive is Z:\ and you have to mount the drive that has the games in order to get to them.

This sounds awsome, will keep an eye on this one!

we'll need to find/write some small dos app to launch programs for those (like me) who don't own a keyboard.
