What is rpix86?

rpix86 is a PC emulator for the Raspberry Pi computer. Its purpose is to allow you to run old DOS games on your RPi. It is based on the DSx86 PC emulator for Nintendo DS game console. The author began porting DSx86 to Raspberry Pi in February 2013, and the first version was released in March.

The current status of the emulation is as follows:

  • CPU: 80486 processor, including the protected mode features (for running DOS4GW games) but without virtual memory support. The emulation runs at a speed of around 20MHz 80486 (which equals a 40MHz 80386) machine.
  • Memory: 640KB of low memory, 4MB of EMS memory and 16MB of XMS memory.
  • Super-VGA graphics, with a maximum resolution of 640x480 with 256 colors.
  • SoundBlaster 2.0 (including AdLib-compatible FM sounds) sound card.
  • US keyboard.
  • Two-button mouse.
  • Joystick (since version 0.04)
  • Roland MPU-401 MIDI interface (since version 0.04)
  • COM1 serial port (since version 0.06)
  • COM2 serial port (since version 0.10)
