Emuverse and some Inception thoughts :)

After seeing Inception yesterday i had some thoughts how emulation actually resembles dreaming on various levels :)

Just some random thoughts:
- emulator in the emulator - recently i tested running DOSUAE on E8Dosbox. It was slow as hell, but had this creepy feeling, seeing Amiga Workbench appear on the screen. Having this, the original piece of S/W, a string of its thought, bits and bytes, a machine code, they are completely disconnected from its 'REALITY', from real H/W, from real CPU, registers, memory, etc. Even worse, even its host (E8Dosbox) is disconnected as it runs on top of some MobileLinux.

- computers that never were - how about writing an emulator of the computer/OS/platform that never was? and even better, writing some apps for it? - an architects role, bend the physics, create totally crazy rules for such computer, and apps that shall obey/live to them

- emulation network - something for Google i guess :) - distributed environment where all legacy applications live, can be searched, run, on every platform/OS that ever existed, interconnecting with each other - an EMUVERSE.

And last one:
- in-game NPCs - playing in Dosbox some oldschool RPGs (like Daggerfall or Ultimas) and meeting NPCs. They will never realize (assuming some little personalization of their source code) that are just projections in 2nd level dream.

Android Dosbox for Moto Charm and Moto Flipout in the works :)

Based on aDosbox, and my previous works for UIQ and E8, Dosbox 0.74 for Motorola Charm and Motorola FlipOut is in the works. It will provide support for 320x240 screens, with paging and shrinking options, customized keyboards, on screen keyboards and such :). Like E8 version below.

Pitty, i dont have any of these devices yet. Any sponsors ? :)

Dosbox 0.73 port for Motorola ROKR E8

To celebrate 1st anniversary of DosboxUIQ, 2nd anniversary of my son birth, and 6th anniversary of my daughter birth - e8dosbox is released :). Most Koli Joco's improvements for S60 and my support for on screen virtual keyboard are piggy backed to E8 version.
