Waiting to see if this gets more response than it did when I posted it Mar 29. Not counting this reply.

I'm sure the guy that ported it from memdumps doesn't regret the time spent. Labor of love and all that, to even try it has to be something you just want to do. So much more... fun... than would be having the source to work from.

the best version is the SNES Prince of Persia.

... yes I know, the XBox360 version is way better, but there are no X360 emulators as of yet.

The DOS version is quite good. It's the reason why my 486SX is working. Nice oldskool gaming. :-)

Have you tried DOSBox? http://www.dosbox.com/

Plays nearly every DOS game, some titles require more config tweaking than others - depending on your perferences. But really it is not difficult to use at all. POP and nearly every title I own from the 80's and early to mid-90's works without a problem all under an i7 with Windows 7 64-bit.

Graphic filters including TV-Mode and many others make the games look great on a modern display.

DOSBOX is great. I love it and how you can use it for games you "legally" own.

I also like how Good ole Games makes good use of it.

GOG... is not "Good old Games" any more.

Yes, they still have the old stuff.

They keep getting more stuff, both old and new.

I for one would like other "new" stuff that is DRM free.

I buy from them anyways because of the DRM free stuff.

I might get The Witcher 2 from them down the line and it isn't old.

BTW, free Fallout for 48 hours.

I never played "Fallout" before. Plus I own a LOT of their titles on good ol' CD-ROM from my days of rummaging through the bargain bins at the old Electronics Boutique and OnCue.

The latter I really miss. I got a LOT of fully registered Apogee titles for $2.99 per pressed silvery CD-ROM (by FormGen, of course). I even have a small CaseLogic zippable CD wallet that contains them because they are so precious.

Good stuff...good stuff...
