i haven't really had to bother with emulators yet, so i can't help much.

i was thinking of isntalling dosbox (i think it's called dosbox, anyways..) and tracking down some old dos games. maybe play some leisure suit larry or king's quest.

yeah, it's dosbox. i think emulators don't run well because of ALSA or whatever sound driver they use. on windows they run perfect, but in Linux not at all.

and on my laptop in windows they run like they do in Linux because it is just a shitty onboard sound chip.
