Dos game Emulation

Post by Mr.Money »

Hi,
sorry if this is the wrong forum.
I have an old dos based game that I would like to be able to play on my dreamcast.
Is there any way I can make this happen?
Thanks

Most surely no.
There is no DOS Emulator for Dreamcast.
The only chance you have to play dos games is to port them over to the Dreamcast (you need the sourcecode) or for Scumm based games you can use ScummVM.
Maybe there is a C64 version of your game?

hey,
I can get the source code I believe. Can you point me in the direction where I can learn about porting to the dreamcast?
Thanks for the quick reply

Myself, I'd like to see the original Scorched Earth (not Worms, and none of that clone BS) running on the DC (1-4 players + bots? Oh yes)...

I'm a worms purist. I had Armageddon but I couldn't get into it. I want the simplicity of the original.
