A Dos Emulator for the iPhone?

Hi,

would it be possible to emulate Dos on the iPhone and play all those old, cool games for Dos?

I'm currently working on porting ScummVM to the iPhone.

After that, I intend looking at DOSBox, too. Don't know how efficient DOSBox is, though, and how well it will emulate an 80386 on an ARM.

I'd rather see a CBM64 emulator

...but that's me

i cant believe people still play old dos games, but then again, I sure like Leisure Suit Larry!!!

Sounds great, thanks in advance for the hard work

Wouldn't a Apple ][ emulator be better?

@ruudboy

that is a great idea, i think the iphone is "made for" scummvm, way better than psp or ds, because with the touchscreen the games will actually be playable,

what state is your developement in?
do you need any support,
i ve got coding experience but not on iphone or with scummvm
so if there is anything i can do pm me

Wow - had my iPhone for a few days and after whacking the NES application (which is a bit naff control wise) on the first thing I thought was Monkey Island would be perfect!!!!!!

I hope you pull the Scummvm app off and that it is realistically possible!!

Please keep us up to date, Indy, Monkey 1 & 2 wow would be great!!!!!!!
