DOSBox Port

This page will help to organize the port of DOSBox to OS/2. Initially, Martin Klingenfuss offered to pay the first person that ported DOSBox to OS/2 500 EUR. He also invited other people to join in and donate some money. To organize and coordinate all activities arround the port, this page was created.

Porting DOSBox to OS/2 is currently NOT a netlabs.org project! (no project homepage, no CVS,...) However, since netlabs.org offers this great WIKI, we decided to host the page here, so everybody can contribute to the content of the page easily.

About the Money

What needs to be done to receive the money

The money will be payed to the first person or group that successfully ports DOSBox to OS/2. A full OS/2 port has to satisfy the following requirements:

• Version 0.63 or above of DOSBox must be ported
• Exactly the same features as on Windows
• Quality of gameplay is exactly the same as on Windows, yes, you can port the bugs too! ;)
• ODIN must not be used
• Source code has to be available from a public place

The money will be payed AFTER the port is done and tested by a few people.

How much money will be payed

Since the first large amount of money was donated in EUR, we use EUR as the currency here. If you need to convert your currency into EUR, you can use the Bloomberg Currency Calculator.

  500 EUR    Martin Klingenfuss
   20 EUR    Robert Henschel; OS/2 User Group Dresden; Money will be transfered to Martin

Total amount: 520 EUR

If you want to donate some money, please add yourself to the list above and contact Martin Klingenfuss (info AT expert-services DOT de)! Martin will tell you how to transfer the money. If you want to contribute anonymously, that can be arranged as well.
