Is Dosbox on the E5-00 Possible?

Hello.

I've been trying ever since I got my E5 to run Dosbox on it (It's been a boyhood dream of running Windows 3.1 on a tiny mobile device). When I first attempted it, the program wouldn't even start.

Well, I've poked around the internet for awhile now, and I've found pretty much nothing except this:

Yeah, I know I've got an E5, but I tried doing the steps, and after installing dependencies and an SDL thingy, I got the program to show a gray screen for about a second before going back to the menu. Hooray for progress.

Has anyone had Dosbox working on an E5?

Thanks.
