Dosbian: Boot to DOSBox on Raspberry Pi

I was thinking how to “boot to Lode Runner” on my Pi400, so this might be close enough:)

Of all the things, why Facebook?

jhbadger•2h ago
So many retro things are on Facebook. It's a stereotype that the GenX/Boomer audience interested in retrotech is on Facebook, but it's kinda true.

> Dosbian is compatible with the following Raspberry Pi models:

I am amazed this doesn't run on literally any Pi since forever, it seems to be limited to Pi 3 and up. I have an old Pi 1B+ that I still use to host all of my websites.

teaearlgraycold•1h ago
Shame it doesn’t run on a Pi Zero (or at least a Zero 2).
zokier•1h ago
I'd assume it is 64-bit, which would explain why it is limited to Pi 3 upwards

Projects like this are some of my favorite uses for single-board computers. Another one is Bare Metal C64, which aims for low-latency vsynced Commodore emulation on the Pi: https://accentual.com/bmc64/
rzzzt•1h ago
There is one small difference, BMC64 uses Circle and circle-stdlib to produce a bare metal image and does not rely on a Linux distribution: https://github.com/smuehlst/circle-stdlib
rcarmo•1h ago
I have an original Pi with BMC64 "permanently" slotted in. It seems to work great, even though I was a Sinclair ZX81/Spectrum kid.

Whenever I see stuff like this, the ITX Llama [1], Pixel x86, etc. I think it's finally the time to build my ultimate love-letter to old school DOS and retro computing but always stop short because of the monitor issue.

I feel like a lot of my nostalgia likely stems from the bright super low latency phosphor displays of a proper CRT. No amount of WebGL shaders/filters [2] ever quite seem to capture the original experience IMHO.

High-res high-refresh-rate OLEDs with modern shaders are getting close. Now somebody needs to make one that has a convex shape like an old CRT.

I wish we'd reach a point where modern technology allows us to make new CRTs relatively easily. I don't even necessarily care about the image quality, the screens and TVs I used in my youth were never particularly good. But it doesn't seem that this will become feasible in the next few decades.

This is a fun project - https://github.com/mausimus/ShaderGlass

There's filters on retroarch for emulating or trying to recreate the appearance of a CRT. I have not personally tried them, but the screenshots are noticeable

On the other hand arguably the best DOSBox version now is the new Pure Unleased, just released 2 days ago (Dosbian is using DOSBox Staging)
