You're asking for a way to run x86 code on an ARM processor. Straight translation isn't easy, so people use emulators. I don't think anybody has tried to port anything like DOSBox to the HP 50G or that it can be done.

If you have an Android phone/tablet you could install DOSBox and run your binaries there. I'd go for this.

Being there you could also try an Android BASIC like this: http://laughton.com/basic/

A relatively inexpensive recent calculator option should be BBC BASIC on a TI 83+/84+, after installing the official free flash application. This is a classic standard BASIC straight from the CP/M era. Before getting one it would be a good idea to check everything first with a PC emulator like Wabbitemu.

Almost every other calculator would be far easier to program than a HP 50G in RPL, but you'll have essentially to learn their specific language.

Thank you very much Manolo.

I will have a look to TI.
RPL is not a easy thing and I have no time to spend with it.
I need something that makes "my life easier".
