if you install the PI with gentoo you can just emerge the abovc :=)

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

what homepage ?

well seem no gentoo ebuild for this yet

but problem is that the PI is imho lowmem :/

 DP> I thought you would like to know.  Enjoy!

use gentoo is less fun :=)

maybe just port dos games to dot net, then use it as dot net games on the pi ?
