    I am using a Raspberry Pi3 which runs Mystic and a Proboard BBS (behind Frontdoor) wihtin a Dosbox. Maybe i will switch to dosemu...

    That's not going to happen, until you switch to an x86 based system. You'll have to stick with DOSBox. :)

    Unless he chroots it and installs a debian x86 system on it. I have not
    tried it, yet, but there is a github for it out there somewhere.

    I use a Banana Pi, which runs 2 BBSs - Synchronet and Mystic, but
    they're native Linux BBSs, not DOS based. :)

    When you compile synchronet on the pi, do you use the same codebase that someone who would use an x86 would compile from? I have done that with magicka... compile it on an x86 and, now, my pi... but have not tried it so
    far with synchronet. I was thinking I might one day want to replace the desktop that synchronet runs on with a pi, which is why I ask.

    Since when does chroot emulate another processor?

    Yep, you compile from the same codebase. Recommendation is to use the daily snapshot from the repository.

    I'm not trying to argue, but I don't think that's possible. DosEMU requires
    an x86 chipset to function at all.

    IIRC, the github version includes code from qemu. You could install qemu
    but it supposedly only uses one of the four processors. Again, supposedly, this github version uses all 4.

    I saw it in a youtube video, but the guy who was doing it did not spend too much time explaining it. He seemed to want to talk more about exagear,
    which he pointed out is similar to the github but is commercial and may be easier to install.

    I think the github includes some qemu code but, unlike running it under
    qemu, takes advantage of the multiple pi processers (instead of just one).

    Be very specific, github version of... chroot? *confused look*

    Sounds like you may have missed the key name of some open source project. I hate the trend of everything being done in video, not a good medium for me, for anything other than a brief overview.

    google 'github AlbrechtL RPi-QEMU' will get you there.

    Qemu, no wonder, that's not chroot, but I will take a look anyway. :)
