i'm looking to play a few old games like.

The only other existing x86 emulator is bochs for xbox.
No virtual keyboard in there but you can use your pc in the following way:

QUOTE

Use the keyboardserver.exe program included in this ZIP.  Run bochs.xbe,
go into the emulation mode (you must have bochs running the emulation first!)
then start the keyboardserver.exe on your windows box like this:

keyboardserver 192.168.123.89

where 192.168.123.89 is the IP address of your XBox.  Now whatever you type
into the window will show up in the emulator.

This was taken from the bochs_xbox_v1 readme-file

In addition to this:

QUOTE

The xboxkey.map file allows you to configure the XBox controller so that
each button corresponds to a keyboard entry.  The instructions for how
to do so are inside the xboxkey.map file.

Also taken directly from the bochs_xbox_v1 readme-file

You can map keys to pad buttons in dosbox, I'm not sure how but it's in the .ini

Performance is like a 386 16mhz with slightly sluggish video.
