Overview:

Amiga 68k port of DosBox v0.74-3.

DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very
easy to port to different platforms. 
DOSBox has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows,
BeOS, Linux, MacOS and AmigaOS.
Unfortunately this special 68k port is very slow on real classic hardware
but older PC games should be playable on a Storm.


Requirements:

1) An RTG Amiga
2) 68060 processor or better (PiStorm CM4 recommended)
3) 64 MB of RAM
4) AHI installed and configured (see links section below)
5) CAMD library for native MIDI playback (see links section below)
6) Some old PC games or demos


Features:

 * SDL based port
 * Native MIDI support (CAMD)
 * AHI Sound support
 * Fullscreen and window mode support
 * 32 bit scaler support

 
Configuration Options:

When running from the shell you must specify a stack of at least 300,000.
The AHI device used will be the one configured in your AHI Prefs (Unit 0).
You will need to install the CAMD library if you want to use an external MIDI
device.  The DOSBox log file will tell you which core it is actually using.
Read the DOSBox readme to figure out how to use it.


Performance Considerations:

1) The number of cycles you set for the CPU emulation is critical
2) The fastest core to use is 'simple' but it's also the least compatible
3) Fast File System isn't, use PFS3 instead
4) Use v4.18 of AHI as the later versions are too slow on real hardware
5) Stick with the 'FAST' 8 bit Mono/Stereo++ AHI modes
6) Full screen 8 bit mode (no scaler) will be the fastest option


Limitations:

1) No network support
2) No physical CDROM support but ISO images can be mounted


Version History:

0.74-3.09 - New version based on the offical 0.74-3 release.
0.74-3.10 - Updated config to disable closewb by default.
0.74-3.12 - Updated the screen mode detection algorithm.
