So whats new everyone? Anyone play anything amazing lately?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
Im waiting for touchpad support to play something like arena or ultima underworld :D i can't install UW2, though.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TheVicious:
Im trying to find good settings for my games. I have Settlers 2 Gold, Lotus 3,Master Of Orion and Elite 2 Frontier. Frontier 2 First Encounter still doesn't work... But other games works - some goog some avarange. Settlers 2 works ok but scrolling map is little bit difficult, Lotus in menu works in 25% speed but race works great. Frontier 2 works great but to many buttons is needed :-).

Im still love this emulator and i must try UFO 2 and Colonization - best strategy games ever.

Do you know any first person dungeon crawlers (like eye of the beholder and stuff), but you actually control just one character? Besides ultima underworld, i mean :P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Mysticales:
Try "Serfcity" that is "Settlers 1" I remember that game has gamepad support. Which may make this game easier. Dont remember if Settlers 2 had that support tho. Only reason I remember about serfcity was because I did local MP play on this. Split screen. One side was mouse player, other side used gamepad.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] opdrago:
how can i use the "o" gamepad key

its relate to the "back" key.

when i remap the key "o" to a letter and mark the map back button to "none" the dosbox turbo thinks i want

out from the app.

any solution?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Mysticales:
You can remap that in the options.

Does Dosbox Turbo support mounting a cue/bin file?

I tried to imgmount a .cue file, but it says it cannot read the .bin file. I made the .bin file with magiciso.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gene_wildhart:
Yes, cue/bin and iso mounting are supported as in the desktop DosBox.

I'm not sure why your cue/bin file didn't mount. I haven't had any problems mounting iso or cue/bin. You could take a look at the .cue file and check to see if the filename pointing to the bin file is correct.

You might try creating an .iso file instead if you don't have any mixed mode CD with music tracks, its a little bit easier to handle the mounting in DosBox with an iso. Otherwise, substitute the MyImage.iso below for MyImage.cue and make sure the bin file is located in the same directory.

IMGMOUNT E /sdcard/MyImage.iso -t iso

would mount your MyImage.iso located on your sdcard as the E drive.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
It's a mixed mode CD, so iso won't work for me. (Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries)

My bin image is in the same directory. I'll try to see if magiciso formats it in a way that just isn't compatible. I can use my generated bin files with fpse, but not dosbox turbo just yet.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
FYI I figured out my issue.

The bin files that MagicISO creates is not compatible with Dosbox. I had to use another program imgburn to create my bin/cue files.

Now the next issue is that Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries crashes when I turn on textures...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Mysticales:
Stupid question. Hows dosbox been doing as far as serial modems? (Null modems)

Makes me wonder.. if that was up, we could emulate over our phones connection a way to multiplayer these games. (Think about Populous vs someone!)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gene_wildhart:
Unfortunately, serial emulation doesn't seem to work on Android. I think all the Android DosBox ports are lacking that feature, as well as missing MIDI emulation due to the OS not supporting midi. :(

---------- Post added at 05:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 AM ----------

Can you let me know what settings you were using? (ie. Memory / cycles). I'll try it out tonight.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
At one point I had it up to 64 MB RAM and 15000 cycles.

At 15000 cycles the game runs fast, but the sound is garbled and slow.

...

I tried the same cycle settings on AnDoxBox (15000) and the game ran fast with the sound working much better.

In both DosBox Turbo and AnDosBox turning on textures caused the same crashing error... I assumed the game was trying to use some Windows specific 3D calls that was causing it to crash...

I'm using the MS-Dos/WIN95 version of Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries. It does say 3D enhanced or accelerated (can't remember which) on the CD label...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
Apparently Dosbox on my PC also crashes when I turn on textures :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gene_wildhart:
Ideally, the memory should be set to the lowest value that can run the game properly.. Having said that, as promised, I just tried out Mechwarrier 2, and the settings that worked well for me with DosBox Turbo 1.3.8 (on my HTC Sensation) were:

- 8MB Ram

- Cycles set to AUTO

- Mouse Tracking: Absolute

- Update to the latest DosBox Turbo 1.3.8

The game seemed fast and quite playable. I tried turning on both texture options in the options menu, and I experienced no crashing... :confused: Not sure why its crashing for you, maybe I could be using a slightly different version of the game? As for the sound, with the cycles set to auto, the sound seemed pretty good. I did notice an occasional hiccup, and adjusting the pre-buffer setting may fix this. PM me if you need more information about the version of MechWarrier 2 that I'm using.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] eksasol:
The irony. I just got my Galaxy Nexus and one of the first game I wanted to try out is Betrayal at Krondor. Well maybe its me, but Dosbox Turbo don't work well with ICS or CM9 so I can't go into the settings, had to port them over from the Play. Then it didn't ran the game as smooth as expected, probably due to the 720p screen. On the other hand, the Play can do it smoothly and a whole lot more playable with a gamepad.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] HankKing:
Hey can DosboxTurbo run M.U.G.E.N? Iv been trying with mugen1.0 and i get the error saying that this game does not run in DOS mode.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] crono141:
Anyone else having graphical issues with Wolf 3D? When starting a level, the 3D Window is garbled, but corrects with left or right movement. I'll post a screen shortly.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] HankKing:
also on a side note, can you run games with only the .iso file? I only have battlebeast.iso and would love to play it on my x-play.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gene_wildhart:
Strange. I develop DosBox Turbo on ICS, and it actually takes advantage of some features of ICS Roms. I don't think it's CM9, because I'm using an HP Touchpad running CM9 as a test development device. Could be the galaxy, but I've a few users on the Galaxy Nexus who haven't reported a problem. What problem do you have with the settings? Is it just with betrayal at krondor? I'll try out Betrayal at Krondor and let you know how it runs for me.

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

You can mount iso files in DOS using the following command:

Z:\>IMGMOUNT E /sdcard/MyImage.iso -t iso
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] tenshin_76:
Hi again Gene,

Thanks so much for that latest release, it´s just what this emulator needed, a total hardway mapping function! However, just one little question seeing as how you programmed this so you probably know a lot more about it than us. I try mapping Up-Down-Left-Right on Prince of Persia 1 (the first POP released on PC) and the little dude doesn´t move, lol. I don´t know what these mappable controls (up-down-left-right-center) represent, arrow keys or numeric pad on pc, but would you know the reason why Prince 1 doesn´t work with these controls? Also, would it be possible that these mappable keys work on impulse rather than character? What I mean is on all other Android emulators, when you map a key, it says "press key" and it records that character code rather than you having to type the "a" or "w", etc. Hope I explained it properly! Cheers!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] eksasol:
Its the overall Settings screen for the app. When I access it, it shows the menu and freeze, I can't scroll or tap anything. Same problem using AOPK rom on my Play.

PS. Yes I purchased and using latest version.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] svenk919:
Got the same problem :( not just at start of lvl but also randomly during the lvl while playing.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] opdrago:

can you make the "map back button" to remap abc letters?

Fyi, Sharkys 3d pool plays very well with the xperia play. Can use D-pad and the X and O for the mouse usage very well.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] aros2k:
Has anyone tested Carmageddon 1?

An awesome feature would be some way to save the input of starting up a game, like the shelf in the screenshot, could just be text with a title you choose (name of game) so that you get a scrollable list of installed games and one click boot
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] crono141:
I think it happens whenever you are looking exactly straight down a corridor. Not sure how dosbox messes it up though.

Out of curiosity, are you using the steam release of wolf3d?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gene_wildhart:
Are you using a custom ROM on your Xperia Play? A few weeks ago, Mysticales pointed out to me that some custom Xperia ROMS assign the 'O' button differently than the stock SONY Rom, which would cause problems with any app relying on the developer docs that Sony published for the Xperia Play.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

Thanks for the info! I'll look into the problem and push out a fix for the next release!

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

I tried Wolf 3d (non-steam release), and I too noticed the graphical glitch upon startup when looking down the hall, that went away after moving the character. Not sure what's causing it, but I'm looking into it.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

The UP-Down-Left-Right refer to the arrow keys. I can't remember, but I think in POP1, you cannot use the arrow keys to move the guy (correct me if I'm wrong).

As for mapping arbitrary keys, you can already do that in DosBox Turbo. Upon startup, if a keyboard is detected, you can remap any key on the keyboard to a control function.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Zerosuit Connor:
Hey guys, currently using DkV14 and True Ancestor. How would I use this app? Any tuts available?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gene_wildhart:
Here is my original post regarding the "O" button mapping. For some reason, some custom ROMS are not mapping the "O" button properly. The Sony ROM maps it as "BACK ALT", while some custom roms are leaving out the critical simultaneous "ALT" keypress that allows the app to distinguish between a normal BACK press and an "O" button press.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] opdrago:
so is it possible making more mapping keys to the "back" button, like ABC letters?

thanks.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Mysticales:
opd. If you have issues with the O button. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1561203

I have a zip file in there which "can" change things for you or least allow you to fix it yourself. Atm after all the discussion on roms and apps, we said Key 305 SHOULD be "BACK ALT" which is what Gene will base his app on too.

However some roms map it as "Button_B" which is what my zip file would switch it to. However you could alter it yourself if needed or least see what yours is mapping like to figure out the issue.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] tenshin_76:
Hi again Gene,

Could you tell me where that is? I can´t find the function that supposedly lets you map any key on the keyboard to a specific function...

Thanks
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] crono141:
I tried using the steam dosbox.conf. It completely hosed everything up, so I ended up building one using the built in config menu in Dosbox turbo.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gene_wildhart:
Sure, in the Settings Menu, its under Button/Key Mapping -> Hard Keyboard Mappings.

Remember, you'll have to have a physical keyboard present at startup to access these settings.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

The standard dosbox.conf has lots of options that do apply under Android (SDL scaling options, midi, serial etc). Its best to let DosBox Turbo generate a config file for you, then modify it to suit your needs.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] tenshin_76:
Aah ok, I DO use that option on my HTC Desire Z when I map game controls. However it only lets you map a certain number of keys, not the whole keyboard.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gene_wildhart:

X-wing or Tie Fighter Controls

First off all: GREAT APP! I've tried another Doxbox Android app or two and this is by far the best. The DosBox Manager is wonderful, it makes running games so easy.

And now a question: I don't have an Xperia Play (so jealous of those who do :) ) but I figured I would ask a question anyway since the developer seems to frequent this thread.

I have X-wing on my Tablet, a Motorola Xoom, and I'd like to use my Sixaxis controller with it (I also have the Sixaxis app installed). I get to the initial screen that wants me to calibrate the joystick. I do as it asks, moving the joystick into the corners and center of the screen. But once I'm in the pilot registration room, the cursor is very erratic, moving all over the screen.

Is there a certain setting I should pick to fix this? I've tried a few different control options, like onscreen joystick or physical joystick. But I can't seem to get it right.

Thanks!

Hi. Brilliant app... I just have one small issue :(

On the Galaxy S III I'm running UFO : Enemy Unknown with absolute mouse positioning and the mouse cursor doesn't *quite* reach the top or bottom of the screen (in landscape mode), which means you can't scroll up or down in the tactical missions. So frustrating because it's so close to being perfect! I've been waiting for the chance to play UFO on a phone for a LONG time :D

I've been using relative mouse mode as a workaround of course but it works much better in absolute mode :)

I know it's an experimental feature but would there be any chance you could take a look?

Sure, ISO images can be mounted in DosBox.

An example of mounting an ISO image in DosBox Turbo would be:

Wish I could help you here, but I've no idea how GOG packages their games. I can tell you this, on the non-GOG version of Dungeon Keeper, you need to have both the installation directory and the final game directory on your Android phone. I generally like to perform the install on Android instead of the PC, as just copying over the final installed directory from the PC is not enough and results in the CD question mark screen.

My suggestion would be to try to perform the install within DosBox Turbo and see if that resolves the problem.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

For technical reasons, when reaching the edge of the screen (top or bottom edge) with your finger and due to the way the touchscreen works, you may (or may not) get that final edge pixel coordinate before your finger moves off the touchscreen. The way to solve this is to use the "Screen Scaling Factor" at set it to something like 95%. You'll want to create just a little 'buffer zone' around the screen where your finger can move and still register. Make sure you tell DosBox Turbo to keep the screen centered as well. Hope this helps!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cynewulf:
Great, I'll give that a try. Thanks :)

Don´t know if this got answered....

Hi again Gene!

Don´t know if this got answered but is there any way to save settings and hardware keyboard mappings so as not having to do it every time u start Dosbox?? Or is Dosbox Manager the only way? And how come Manager makes you upgrade Dosbox Turbo to the latest version? Why won´t it work with 1.3.5 which is the one I installed some time ago?? Many thanks in advance... App would be PERFECT if it let you save keyboard mappings and general settings without the aid of Dosbox Manager or if said Manager could work in older versions.

Hey Gene, any news on adding the Dosshell?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] VenomousWoe:
I don't know about X-Wing, but I have TIE Fighter installed and the sensitivity on the d-pad is pretty bad. Either it's too rigid and stiff (if you use it as a mouse) or it's too loose and floaty (if you use it as a joystick). I've been trying to make the sensitivity work, but to no avail. I've also tried using the touchscreen as a joystick and a mouse, but that doesn't seem to work either. In mouse mode, it's impossible to calibrate (as TIE Fighter makes you do it every time you boot the game), and for the joystick, when you calibrate it, it seems just impossible to control.

I'd like to be able to play the game, but the sensitivity is just too much to bear. Could Gene or someone give me some ideas as to where to go? I've tried everything from editing the sensitivity in DOSBox options (which the game doesn't honor), to editing the config file for sensitivity (which the game doesn't seem to honor either). I'm using the Xperia Play from AT&T, stock ROM.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gene_wildhart:
Sorry. I've been out of town for the last month, with limited internet connection. I've one more month to go before I come back. Been working on a few things, and have several updates that will make the next release, but it will have to wait till August when I get back.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

I haven't played tie-fighter, but is there a keyboard mode that can be selected? The DPAD on the XPeria Play basically emulates keypresses on the keyboard. By default, the dpad is set to the cursor keys, which works fine with most games. I'm not too sure about tie-fighter, if the only way to play it is with the mouse/joystick, then you've got a few options:

1. Touchscreen Mouse (Mouse)

2. External Bluetooth Mouse (Mouse)

3. Touchscreen Joystick (Joystick)

4. USB/Bluetooth Gamepad (ie. Xbox 360 controller) (Joystick)

I'm also working on getting the analog touchpads to work on the Xperia Play (for mouse/joystick). I have them working in test builds; however, due to the API Sony implemented, they made it such that it is not backwards compatible with Froyo or lower, so by implementing the analog touchpad, the app would only work on Gingerbread devices or higher. I'm looking for a workaround, or perhaps I have to bite the bullet and release a separate Xperia Play version.
