Is there any chance this would play warcraft 1 or 2? Those are some of my favourite strategy dos games.

@pate any way to fix the mouse in windows?

 

[Luigi2012SM64DS]

Short answer: No, I can't.

Windows does not use the mouse coordinates from the mouse driver, instead it keeps track of the mouse position internally, based on the distance and speed the mouse has moved from the previous position. Since the touchpad only has a position and no speed, it can not be emulated correctly. You can make the problem less severe by using the Windows control panel to make the mouse speed as slow as possible, but the problem can not be fixed completely. Well, perhaps by using/coding a specific Windows mouse driver for a touchpad, but I am not interested in doing that.

Besides, running Windows on a DS is just a curiosity item with no real purpose, so fixing Windows-related problems are a low priority for me.

what kind of games are worth running on the DS? i got scumm compatible games allready seperat. running a supercardDS2

 

[slenkar]

loadsa games,
There are a lot of good dos rpgs, some require you to print out the manual though for copy-protection codes
and you have to map a lot of them on graph paper
I like Bards Tale personally,
wizardry 1 and might and magic 2 are supposed to be good

Good work Pate, downloaded the nex version and gave it a spin, it works great!!

Titus the fox is playable , and I allso tested Prehistorik 1(same team), works perfectly aswell, Prehistorik 2 says "Fetal! : Video not 100% compatible" but It could be a bit too heavy for the normal version of dsx86 ,but all in all good work

Can it run windows 95 or 98?

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

Can it run windows 95 or 98?

Windows 98, not in a million years.
Windows 95...Most likely no.

Windows 98, not in a million years.
Windows 95...Most likely no.

why not 98?
Because of the system specs or the DSx86 programing?
Whats the error?

...Windows 98 required 16mb of RAM, and while the DS2x86 has that much, it doesn't have the CPU speeds required. You seem to think the DS is some sort of amazing awesome machine, it's far from it.
