---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Battle Isle 2 | Works well | 801 | 0.74 | At 4000 cycles. worked well - played first map - touchscreen and nubs did an excellent job -[1] | |||
Civilization 1 | Perfect | ? | 0.74 | [2] | |||
Commander Keen 4 | Works well | 700 | 0.74svn | 1991 | EGA | Cycles set to "max", almost perfect but occasional slowdowns. | |
Dune | Works well | 500 | 0.74 | [3] | |||
Dungeon Keeper | slow | ? | 0.74 | it is very much sub 5FPS and I had to overclock to 850, whack up DosBox's cycles to a mad amount, and stick on the dynarec -[4] | |||
Elder Scrolls Arena | Playable | 801 | 0.74 | 4000 cycles. too slow. but it was in a way playable but only if you´re a die hard enthusiastic. -[5] | |||
Elder Scrolls Dagerfall | Not working | 801 | 0.74 | 4000 cycles. too slow. installation processed finished but afterwards it didn´t want to start, cause of some cd problems. will look into that later. -[6] | |||
Eye of the Beholder (series) | Works well | ? | 0.74 | [7] | |||
Fantasy General | Works well | 801 | 0.74 | 4000 cycles. played first map - touchscreen and nubs worked very well -[8] | |||
Jazz Jackrabbit 1.2 (CD) | Works well | 850 | 0.74 | 1995 | VGA | See instructions here. Might have weird bug of "left" being held all the time... Okay at 500Mhz, "More-or-less fullspeed" at 850Mhz[9] | |
Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos | Not working | 801 | 0.74 | 4000 cycles. intro worked but after selecting a character the game crashed. might have to try that another time. -[10] | |||
Master of Magic | Works well | ? | 0.74 | at low clock runs great, but a few 'traqnsitions' (when switching between screens) slow down, so you have to run clocked up so that its playable; I didn't complete any sessions, just fired it up and fiddled around, but looks like it'd be playable. -[11] | |||
Might and Magic 1 | Not working | 801 | 0.74 | 4000 cycles. dos version always wanted the cd and I had no time to find out how to cope with it. -[12] | |||
Might and Magic 3 | Perfect | 801 | 0.74 | 4000 cycles. excellent -[13] | |||
Might and Magic 4 | Perfect | 801 | 0.74 | 4000 cycles. excellent, absolutely playable -[14] | |||
Might and Magic 5 | Perfect | 801 | 0.74 | 4000 cycles. excellent, absolutely playable -[15] | |||
Princess Maker 2 | Works well | 700 | 0.74 | Runs sluggish at 500mhz, touchscreen is a useless mess. Playable at that speed but will have sound slowdown. Ran fine at 700mhz. 800mhz+ might prevent occasional music skip. -[16] | |||
Privateer | slow | ? | 0.74 | tried privateer and i thought it was too slow to play -[17] | |||
Raptor: Call of Shadows | Works well | 500 or 600 | 0.74 | Runs pretty well. -[18] Video | |||
Second Reality (demo) | Playable | 500 | 0.74 | at 500mhz it didn't work so well, but setting the pandora to run a bit faster it was pretty smooth on most parts with sound. -[19] | |||
Star Trek 25th Anniversary | Works well | 500 | 0.74 | "I have no idea if it's actually full speed, but all the graphics look sweet, the sound and midi music play fine and the mouse / touchscreen is very useable!" -[20] | |||
System Shock 1 | slow | 801 | 0.74 | 4000 cycles. worked but too slow even at low details -[21] | |||
UFO | Playable | 500 | 0.74 | "Touchscreen seems to work OK at 500Mhz but it goes a bit odd at 750Mhz so I had to use the nubs instead :) The zooming in and out of intercepts is jerky but tactical games seem to work fine." -[22] | |||
Ultima Underworld 1 | Works well | 801 | 0.74 | 4000 cycles. [23] | |||
Ultima Underworld 2 | Works well | 801 | 0.74 | 4000 cycles. intro of UW2 [played] without stuttering or anything, but without a mouse it´s quite exhausting to play -[24] | |||
Wacky Wheels | slow | ? | 0.74 | VGA | tried wacky wheels and its very slow -[25] | ||
Warcraft 2 | Playable | ? | 0.74 | SVGA | being in SVGA does slow things down quite a bit, but with some overclocking it actually plays pretty well; with a lot of action going on it might slow down, but you can definitely play the first couple levels (I did) in the scenario -[26] | ||
Warlords 2 Deluxe | Playable | 800 | 0.74 | Playable at 500mhz, touchscreen works fine. Still sluggish at 800mhz though, scrolls map tile by tile pretty slowly. Don't try this one if you're not patient. -[27] | |||
Wizardry 6 | Perfect | ? | 0.74 | [28] | |||
Wizardry 7 | Perfect | ? | 0.74 | [29] |
