Dear PocketDOS users,

This thread is intended to be a place for people to list applications that they have tested successfully (or unsuccessfully) under PocketDOS. Please do not post anything else in this thread, or your post may be deleted. We intend to keep this topic as a resource that can be used to determine which applications and games do and don't work with PocketDOS, and so postings may be edited to maintain a uniform appearance.
