Any thoughts anyone on if this is worth porting to a 3?

My thoughts are the effort to get it onto the later devices may not be so major, but fear the emulator overhead would kill the point on the lower devices.

Input anyone on that?

I guess you were poked via PM, too? Sigh. Well, it's like this: AFAIK, Dosbox is SDL-focused. That's fine, but we don't have a SDL video output driver for the K3 (yet). That's probably all that is needed, but there aren't many developers here in the board who like to play with C code - simple as it might be. (In fact, it should be very simple! It's just adding 4bpp framebuffer support.) I probably could, but am not quite motivated. Plus, I have some other things in the pipeline I'd rather play with instead. I don't expect much from Dosbox, but I'm admittedly not very focused on gaming. And I'm not really inclined to get good' old Lotus-1-2-3 running, either.
