   if you install the PI with gentoo you can just emerge the abovc :=)   
      
    DP> So, dosemu is not an option for RPi.   
      
   why not ?   
      
   i think emulators should not be used in the PI for other reasons, but   
   compileing it there should work fine, else make a bug report upstream

   use gentoo is less fun :=)   
      
   maybe just port dos games to dot net, then use it as dot net games on the pi ?
