Hello, i was install dosbox 0.74 (sudo apt install dosbox). It's very slow, even if games run in window. Old Wolfenstein 3D (and Spear of Destiny too) run somehow OK, but Duke Nukem 3D (or DOOM, or Shadow Warrior...) are unplayable. I know that there is RetrOrangePi or Lakka, but this isn't a solution. I don't want swapping microsd's forever... Have OPi PC.

I doubt this will work easy on any ARM device. Why swapping microsd's? RetrOrangePi has Desktop Linux (Armbian), OpenELEC (just don't try to upgrade it) and game emulation, which is compiled and optimized for ARM and GLES acceleration. There is nothing better than this and it's only matter of menu choice (from RetrOrangePi to Armbian), starting script (from desktop to RetrOrangePi), or rebooting (from/to any above to/from OpenELEC). I tried DOOM and Quake there and they were performing ok.
