In short: if you want a DOS emulator (PocketDOS, DOSBOX) on a phone buy something with Windows Mobile (PocketDOS is even for "Windows Mobile smartphone edition", DOSBOX only for "Phone Edition" - the one with touchscreen).Īlternatively you can try to port it, though I do not see any sense in that.

So I had to abandon Nokia and to go elsewhere.Įven if anybody would do that, it would be for S60v3 (QVGA display, more power and the platform is being further developed). I do not know about any real attempt to port DOSBOX to Symbian (and I was searching the Internet for long time). There are promises of "PocketDOS" port for Symbian, but they have been promising it for years. Some months ago when I was thinking about what kind of new phone I should get, I spent a lot of time by looking for a Symbian DOS emulator (I was satisfied with my Nokia 6230 (not smartphone), so I thougth I would buy another phone - this time smartphone - from Nokia).

Additionaly Symbian (which would probably mean a lot of work to adapt it anyway.). Slow processor, too little memory, inadequate screen resolution.
