GPF has released some great screenshots and news concerning his port of Dosbox the Dos emulator to the Dreamcast, heres what he says:
very cool to play some Commander Keen on my dreamcast, still got some optimizations to do and figure out why sound isnt working, maybe a dosbox.conf issue or still have some coding issues to work out

Commander Keen rules! For those that are too young to remember, the Commander Keen series was written by the same people who brought you Doom. Only it was a "pre-Doom" game before iD got big and famous for Doom.
What would really be nice is the port being able to play Revolution's first game 'Lure of the Temptress' which is now freeware, the release of the emu along with the game would be a great boost for the DC, the game is available here:

I've gotta say this is a total revolutionary emu for the Dreamcast and possibly going to be one of my favs. When everyone was using Windows 95 or later in 96 i was using a good ol 386 computer and played lots of great games. Now i cant wait to be playing those great games on my Dreamcast.

A great idea to port that emu. I can't await to play around with it. Maybe it'll play Comanche?
The possibilities of a DOS Emu for DC are huge!
I'll love to see how good it gets! :)
great work GPF!
