Posted: Jul 12, 2002 @ 5:33amPosted: Jul 19, 2002 @ 6:26amIs Bochs the x86 emulator?? If it is then PocketBochs sounds amazing! Where can I see these screenshots? (and why hasn't it been released?) Even if it was slow, I think people would still like to see it just for the hell of it!

Seems a bit pointless for me to have to redo the portions of the port that he´s already done, just because he´s (possibly) too proud to release his work in progress because it´s too slow...
Anyway, whatever... Guess I´ll find out for myself whether there´s any point to this port...
PocketDOS is somehow able to achieve usable performance. Seems hard to believe that it´s not possible with Bochs. Maybe the PocketDOS developers deserve more credit than they´ve received on this forum...

PocketBochs emulates desktop hardware so you can run any and all desktop software. PocketDOS emulates an extremely old and unusable, mere novelty OS at -- considering what it's doing -- very slow speeds.
