I've got 16 bit color games already, plus SCUMM plays plenty. I'll stick with games designed for PocketPC or specifically ported than trying to run clunky DOS on a tiny screen just to play an outdated game with horrible controls when it debuted on the desktop!

I couldn't get Commander Keen 4 to work... just said "Initializing... please wait" for about an hour

I just got wolf for the gba. It's a good game, but I feel as though they could have improved going through doors a bit. Many are in small, narrow places that require very good allignment to go through. Maybe they could have rounded the corners and let you slide through them.

No and no. Both required procs and screens higher than whats emulated.
