HELP Need to run DosBox or BOCHS
Quite a regular

See User information
Hello Amigans!

I put some efforts on the DosBox configuration and on BOCHS too and wanna play some games with a PC emulator on my Amiga.

What's the best way to configure and later run DosBox?

And what about BOCHS?

Help is truly appreciated

EDIT:I have around 20 games to be played on DosBox and as BOCHS relative my brother has various versions of Windows to install.

Come on give me your ideas!
I want to configure and run especially BOCHS.
What do I have to do to run it on my system?

I think those two should be easy to install. But Bochs is very very slow so it's not quite useful IMHO.

DosBox is very slow since the OS4 July Update. Is there any new tip to optimize its speed ?

I have OS 4.0 update 4 and I see it is better than Final for DosBox emulation.

How much slow is BOCHS on an Amiga One 800 Mhz in number per cent statistics comparing to a real PC?

What options may I introduce in DosBox to happily run it on my Amiga?

Its of course magnitudes faster than the only existing
"real PC" which had an Intel 8086 (or was it 8088) CPU.
Sorry, could not resist.

On a x86 CPU you can in theory run a PC OS on the hardware
and on BOCHS and you'll get a percentage number. On a PPC
CPU you cant run the PC OS on the hardware ergo you have
nothing for comparison to get a reasonable percentage number.

Oh, BTW:

Murakami say it but it isn't the real important thing.
Back to the question,what are the steps I have to do to configure BOCHS and how about DosBox?

I dream to convert my Amiga on a PC with emulation even if it is too slow.

BOCHS is my choice,but I don't despise DosBox either.
