DOS PC games on your handheld!

DOS emulation is amazing, but many dweebs don't bother because it's a bit more complicated than most emulation. Today I'm going to try to show you that it's actually pretty darn easy (and cool)!

I tend to not appreciate the various gimmicks that many Youtubers pile into their videos, but yours are tasteful and entertaining. Good job!

[ColinHuth]

The papercraft skits make it, you've found such a distinctive, humorous, wholesome, and touching artistic voice that elevates these videos massively. There's so much polish and care.

You've got my vote for not going Netflix on the Dos gaming series. I'd love to see your list of handheld friendly Dos games.

[crrnz]

Who doesn't love some good ol' paper cut trauma venting?

[cappnplanetcappnplanet]

Please do make a best dos games for handhelds video. I've been in this hobby a long while and this is the first dos for handheld explanation I've seen anyone do. Great content 👍

[TheIzzyNobreShow]

These production values are INSANE. And it’s wild how we had such similar upbringings!

[mcgoastface]

One tips. No need to create a bat file, just click to the right with the dpad over the file you want dosbox to start and it will set that file to auto start. Super Dweebsy, cheers love al your vids

[caldxeero]

Playing with paper dolls is not a waste of time, I love seeing flashbacks of little tech dweeb, they're so wholesome 🥲❤️

[PjetDevjet]

I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate this video. DOS games are my childhood. Where I’m at right now is a place I really feel like I need a little comfort. That’s where nostalgia comes in and for me, DOS games really do the trick. I have Dweeb DOS on my PC and it’s great. What you laid out here will definitely help me to run these gaming gems on my handhelds too. A video on your favorite handheld friendly DOS games would be fricking fantastic!

Oh man... I'm old enough that I remember gaming on a black and white TV with my Atari 2600. There was even a switch on the console to select between color and B&W, depending on what type of TV you owned. Man... what we used to deal with! lol Getting a 19" color TV for my (I think 13th) birthday was such a treat! By then, I was also hardcore into my Commodore 64, so it was perfect for that. lol

The recurring Kat lore is so adorable and captivating, and I’m absolutely hooked 🍿

[ElisBuenas]

I was really really waiting for a video like this. So many great DOS games I need to revisit! Thanks for reminding me of this remarkable platform!

[RyonTeachesMugen]

I need to know how deep this lore with you and Kat dives.

[disconinja]

Thanks, I've learned I need a color monitor to play DOS on my handheld

[itaialter]

Great thumbnail for this video! Good job. Now, let's watch it.

[raniel]

Oh yeah, TECH DWEEB LORE🔥🔥🔥
It's amazing the whole idea of playing dos on handhelds

[crktritual]

Tech Dweeb is the best kinda of wholesome an I’m all for it.

[ndolo_yk]

Dude your storytelling sections are sooo wonderful!!!

[TheIzzyNobreShow]

Ok the time has come. I'll FINALLY figure out DOS on this little thing. I'm well caffeinated and I have my Vyvanse. Focus is at an all time high. Let's do this!

And by the way, I had DOS running great on my late GPD XD (if you look up "GPD XD DOS" my video on it should come up!) but never really explored DOS much on portables outside of that old clamshell classic.

What's funny is that I'll end up just looking at HoMM2 running on it for a while, say "holy shit can you imagine playing HoMM2 portably back in the day?!" and then go right back to Fire n Ice 🤓🤓

Luv ya Dweeb


PS: Totally unrelated but I hate that more companies don't port classic strategy games for the iPad. HoMM3 on it is a BLAST but the industry didn't follow Ubi's lead with that one. My kingdom for some classic C&C on the go with mouse support🥲

[cippalippus]

I miss DOS times, but I certainly don't miss messing with autoexec and config files for sound or memory!
