Oh, and before anyone asks neither DesqView or Windows 2.0 will work. Windows 2.0 wants to use 640x200 even in MCGA mode and DesqView uses lots of dirty tricks to enable preemptive multitasking on the 8086. Also note that not even Dosbox can run Windows 1.x so don't bother with that either.

Anything that won't work on an 8086 (including protected mode stuff) won't work. That means no DOS4GW or CWSDPMI. Anything that relies on a 640x??? graphics mode (including Windows 2.0) also won't work. Oh, and Ultima 1-5 don't currently work even though they are 8086 compatible but should be fixed in the next version.

Most of the games I tried to use were games I used to play in dos,

Bio Menace loads but then comes up with an opcode error

the oldest game I could find [Roomz] didn't work either

Keen4 works quite well though and Duke Nukem does too

I really thought that I would never see DOS on the DS, So I'm already content.

Great emulator already. With mouse support and a higher resolution mode it would bring so many cool programs to the DS.
