Game title Status Mhz DOSBox version1 Year Display mode Link to conf file2 Comments
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]


1The latest, 0.74svn, was released on November 9, 2010.
