Classic PC Games for N900
 
Hello,

I wish to know if it is possible to play classic dos based PC games on Nokia N900. The classic games such as :

Pacman, Prince of Persia, Mario etc...

Are there any developers who can develop such games for N900. The classic PC version games are easily available for download on the internet & freeware.

Pacman and Mario are not PC games, you can play them with console emulators in repositories. You might try Prince of Persia with DosBox but I'm not sure how its performance will be.

DosBox is an application you can download through the Application Manager. I think you need the extras repository enabled.

For using DosBox, check their wiki: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Main_Page

Prince of persia can be played on picodrive, the sega megadrive emu. (it's better than PC)

you obviously need the rom though ;)
