Fallout Tactics update

Hello Fallout fans. Today I got a new Fallout launcher working with DosBox turbo. The Result is that you can play Fallout 1 and 2 on Android very stably with a fully touchscreen interface, on screen keyboard, Joystick and Bluetooth devices. I still have to finish tweaking and testing it﻿ but very soon I will make a new video about it. In addition many other X86 PC games will soon be playable on Android. So stay tuned to see the future of PC gaming on Android. Please Stand By!!

Here is the first screenshot ever taken of Fallout Tactics running on Android. Currently the cut scene videos crash the game but I was able to load and play the game.

Fallout 2 runs betters than I have ever seen on a mobile device and is much more stable than using QEMU. Killaps Restoration project is also working with DosBox turbo.

Dosbox Turbo updates

Well I am working on it this weekend but I still need to do more testing and write a guide about using it. The HP Touchpad is my main priority so I tend to put other projects on hold when we have Touchpad development. Here are some new screenshots. Currently I am messing around with the CD support.I have tested Homeworld 1 and Jedi Knight: dark forces 2 but adding CD emulation makes things very unstable and tricky to setup. Wish me luck, back to testing now:fingers-crossed:

Black sreen upon emulator start (can't get to Windows 95)

I really like what you’ve done here and appreciate it a lot. Having trouble though. I’m able to get bochs to run the IMG files but libSDL encounters a black screen upon launch of the emulator. I first tried Version 1, then Version 2, now I’m starting over again with Version 1. 'Unknown Sources' is enabled.

I’m on Galaxy S3. I’ve tried the sdl.conf file in many configurations. Here’s my desired config:

/storage/sdcard0/libSDL.apk

/storage/sdcard0/sdl

-	bios.bin

-	c.img

-	d.img

-	sdl.conf

-	vgabios.bin

-	vgabios-cirrus.bin

/sdl -L . -m 512 -boot c -hda c.img -hdb d.img -usb -usbdevice tablet -soundhw sb16

The c.img and d.img images run great with bochs, and by that I mean Windows 95 starts and I can play Fallout 1 and 2 but the performance is not acceptable in-game. I’ve uninstalled bochs at this point in case there’s any conflict with bochs and libSDL. I use Advanced Task Killer to keep background apps at a low and I’ve tried restarting the phone.

Is DosBox Turbo the way to go?

Any help you can provide is extremely valued! thanks
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Use the default setup

Hey, glad you're liking the fallout for Android project:D Looks like you've modified my default sdl config line, why aren't you using the default?

/sdl -L . -m 256 -boot c -hda c.img -hdb HDD_2Gb.img -usb -usbdevice tablet -soundhw sb16

If anything is off even slightly, then it won't launch. Once you get it working, then you can try modifying it. Its setup for compatibility and noob proofing, modifying the setup before you get it working is inadvisable. Secondly what is your d.img? It should be the hdd images from the package provided. Others may not work correctly. Test just the c.img at first to see if the d.img is causing you problems.

The new DosBox Turbo version also has different hdd images that are setup specifically for the app being used. I am working on a new video for that today and it should be available soon. The release of Android 4.3 caused a delay with the DosBox turbo app but it should be available with Voodoo support soon.
[TouchPad General] mendlo:
RE: Black sreen upon emulator start (can't get to Windows 95)

Thanks for the quick reply. I deleted and re-downloaded/re-extracted the Version 1 RAR. I kept the default sdl.conf untouched and extracted and added HDD_2Gb.img to the sdl folder. I placed Fallout 1 and patched Fallout 2 in HDD_2Gb.img and saved the image.

I deleted the sdl fodler off my phone and uninstalled libSDL. I then copied the new sdl folder and libSDL.apk from my computer to the phone. I reinstalled libSDL and I’m still getting a black screen upon launch of the emulator.

Here’s what I currently have on my phone:

/storage/sdcard0/libSDL.apk

/storage/sdcard0/sdl

- bios.bin

- c.img

- HDD_2Gb.img

- sdl.conf

- vgabios.bin

- vgabios-cirrus.bin

/sdl -L . -m 256 -boot c -hda c.img -hdb HDD_2Gb.img -usb -usbdevice tablet -soundhw sb16

I've also tried:

/sdl -L . -m 256 -boot c -hda c.img -usb -usbdevice tablet -soundhw sb16

I’m on Android 4.1.2
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Sound

Remove the -soundhw sb16 from the config and try it again. Also try the DosBox version I put in the last response. Did you see what I did there:cool:
[TouchPad General] mendlo:
Removing -soundhw sb16 didn't help. DosBox Turbo is able to run Fallout but the in-game performance is similar to bochs. I've been trying a bunch of different settings to try to get it run faster. Thanks for all the help!
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Performance should be faster

Hey np but there must be something wrong with your device or setup. My HP Touchpad is not as fast as your S3 but runs Fallout 2 much, much faster than bochs. Bochs performance is completely unplayable, are you certain that you don't have a lot running in the background? Try running fallout 1 from dos with DosBox Turbo, if that's not playable something must be wrong.

[TouchPad General] mendlo:
Fallout 1 is running pretty smoothly! This is a huge step forward. Just Fallout 2 is running slow. Thanks!
[TouchPad General] mendlo:
I found that Fallout 1 runs best directly from DOS via DosBox Turbo. Running Windows 95 is too much overhead.

New Thread and Info Now Available

Hey np glad you're enjoying it as much as I am. Don't forget to leave Fishstix a little feedback on the app page too Cheers:D

So as you suspect emulated Voodoo 1 support is a very new feature. It works but in a limited capacity, performance in software mode is still better. Fishstix does the Android development and I'm just taking care of the Win9x support, workarounds & videos/guides.The Voodoo support has only been working for a shot time, testing has been limited. So for now 3Dfx Glide support is best consider experimental.

I hear Development for Voodoo 1 support will resume soon, so you can expect improvements to be made in the future. Having a fast Android device will give you much better performance for now.

Checkout the new thread for this topic below. I have a little bit of the Dos games section i'm working on now too. You may need to add the following file into your game directory. Have fun:)

How to Use DosBox Turbo with 3Dfx Glide Support in Dos Games

To Play Classis GOG.com Dos Games with Glide 3Dfx Support do the following.

1)You will need to have the DosBox Turbo app installed on your Android device. Run the DosBox Turbo app and open the settings menu from either the pull down menu at the Top or left side swiping menu. Go to “DosBox Settings/Advanced DosBox Config” check “3DFX Glide Support” and “Manual Mode”. You must restart the app before these changes will take effect.

2)GOG games have data image files called "game.gog", you will need to mount these in order to play your games. I suggest you add a line to your DosBox Turbo config file. You can also mount your iso images in this way.

In this example the game data is located on your Android device in a folder named "tomb".

imgmount d: /sdcard/tomb/game.gog -t cdrom

In this example the game data is located on your Android device in a folder named "blood".

imgmount d: /sdcard/blood/game.gog -t cdrom

3)In order to play some Dos Games with Glide support (Blood, Tomb Raider) you may need to place this Glide dll file into your game folder. Download glide2x.zip:

I got a question! If I want to put the virtual memory add-on, is it just a blank hdd?
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Empty HDD is best for virtual memory

Hey, yes you just add an empty HDD image or if you have a lot of empty space on one already you can also allocate that to the virtual memory as well. I generally think its best to use a separate image so that the size of this virtual space doesn't change. Have fun
[TouchPad General] tokenpoke:
Thanks, Will do!

Thanks a ton. Ok, now I'll go break it again or find some other weird tweak to do to this. I'm trying to see if I can somehow push the whole system to sd card. I know it should be a config change but I can't remember what it was, I'll let you know if I don't find it.
[TouchPad General] sf3:
It works with the Steam version of Fallout 2? Or I need a CD or ISO image?

Thanks
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
DRM Free or cracked copies of the Games are required to play them on Android. I recommend using the GOG versions of the games here: The older CD versions will also work fine. Have fun
[TouchPad General] phunky123:
4) Open the “Batch_work’ folder and copy and paste these files into your Fallout 2 install directory. Run the f2.bat file (A window will popup)

I am not finding the f2.bat file, has that name changed? in the batch_work folder the only .bat is delete_tmp_files.bat
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Hey which patch are you using, the restoration or just the regular unofficial one? They both have a batch file but the official ones will not. You may need to disable your antivirus/spyware as they might consider the batch file a threat and just block it right away.
[TouchPad General] phunky123:
I found it, it was in the 2.1.2b only, 2.2 and 2.3 don't use that anymore it appears. Great work on this. running now with the dosbox turbo damn near perfect with the 1.02 official patch, the Nvidia Shield runs this really fast. 2.3 RP (released the 23rd) didn't fix the scrolling issues in the temple of trials. I was able to get 1 save to work from PC inside the temple but I think bugs are present, all other save said corrupt or crash game. On the one save that worked, killed the next 4-5 rad scorpions and never got 1 tail, never seen that before. too bad... killap said he will be releasing 2.3.1 before years end, maybe fixed then not sure if win98 issues or not.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
2.1.2b works best with Android

Edit: After installing RP 2.3 last night I discovered that the batch files still exist for both 2.2 and 2.3 but now you run "master_dat_fix_up.exe" insteald of f2.bat and that installs the batch folder stuff for you. I will test this out today on Android and see if I can figure out the scrolling issues. Its seems that 2.1.2b works best with Android at the moment. I see that the links for that in the OP are down and so I have replaced them with the 2.1.2b version. Perhaps there is something in those batch files that was needed and has been removed now hmmm. I had meant to post about the issues in killaps thread but found that I couldn't get into my no mutants account. Edit: I was able to get into my account now, looks like they updated the site a bit.

I've discovered that we can fix the screen scroll issue but it makes the game unplayable. If you use direct draw7 and the set the ignore PC scroll option then the problem is fixed but it also ruins the performance. I'll have to ask Killap about this but thanks for pointing out that there were some differences. I have updated the instructions to work around this for now.

You can now get the 2.1.2b version in the OP. Have fun
[TouchPad General] phunky123:
I see where you posted on NMA, nice.... Where is the PC scroll option? I didn't see anything in the f2_res.ini either :silly:
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
I'm still trying to sort that out it doesn't seem to fix the problem if I change the one setting manually. It does work if you set it to direct draw 7 and then set it in the screen options menu but in any other mode the settings won't stick. I'll let you know if I get it sorted out but I'll probably have to post back and ask Killap for help:cowboy:
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
RP2.3 fixed on Android

Hey well I have figured out a work around for using the RP2.3 with Dosbox Turbo, I'm still working on figuring out a solution for the QEMU version. My solution might actually fix a lot of issues that PC users were experiencing too. Killaps is going to release a new build tomorrow RP2.3.1 so this might get fixed just in time for the new year.

To get RP2.3 working you will need to install this older High Res Patch and replace the current files. This both fixes the scrolling problem and improves the performance in every mode, even Direct draw 7 which was previously unplayable. Regular non RP users will need to get this patch as well to fix performance issues introduced my Mash's new High res patches, this works for both QEMU and DosBox Turbo.

[TouchPad General] phunky123:
Nice work man! Trying this out now.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
RP2.3 testing

Please let me know if it works for you, its being discussed and tested at No Mutants right now too:highfive:
[TouchPad General] phunky123:
Fixed the issue for the scrolling for sure. My problem now is no scorpion tails. first 2 you kill should both produce a tail to pickup, have you seen any tails? 2.1.2b has them and 2.3 PC version has them.

Nice find, been watching that thread too. Also waiting on 2.3.1. :D
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Thanks I will be very happy to see this fixed and in the latest 2.3.1 version. I seem to remember there being tails in 2.1.2b so that might be a bug. You should join the No Mutants conversations and let Killap know that its missing. I wonder if that means no rad scorpion have tails you can harvested at all in the newer versions.
[TouchPad General] phunky123:
I may do that, just seems like I am having issues. I still can't load a game on Android from PC. Not sure what is going on. I even tried a fresh install on an XP box. Just loaded a 2.3 save from a Win8 PC to the XP but same save crashes Android version. I tried the GOG version today also. Few more things to test but not sure why I am having issues. :confused:

Oh and tails are in 2.3 on my XP install using win98 patches.

EDIT: well no luck for me, I can not get a save game to transfer over to Android no matter what I try. Everything works fine on PC to PC versions but when I load on Android I get crashed back to the OS. sucks...really wanted to transfer games for portable play at times. Unless 2.3.1 changes something for me I am stuck with 2.1.2b on Android...but still cool stuff!
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Hey hmmm that's very strange I transfer my games from PC all the time. Actually I just read that Killap has improved saved game compatibility with his just released RP 2.3.1. I have yet to test it but Killap said he would fix the Hi Respatch problem, which was also causing PC users issues. So if its not fix I may just have to make an Android modified version with the older files. Either way it should be working properly on Android sometime soon again. Oh and I should note that you need to uninstall the game and remove the leftover files or that may mess up the newer version. Let me know how it works out for you and Happy New Year.

"Note: Previous 2.2 save games should be compatible, but to ensure no problems come up please start anew. There are some areas that will potentially break with old saves unless you enter them for the first time. 2.3 saves are even more compatible but better safe than sorry. You've been warned. "
[TouchPad General] valexi:
Can you use high resolution patch with Snapdragon 800?

I have Note 10.1 2014 Edition, will it have enough juice to run this with high res?

EDIT: It doesnt work! I installed all the patches mentioned in OP, but it keeps saying "This is windows NT executable".

Sadly I bought Dosbox turbo.... :(

Wrong Emulation Thread

Hey don't get your emulators confused, this is the QEMU emulator thread. If you're using Dosbox Turbo the fallout setup instructions will be different and so will the files used. These mods work but you have to do the correct setup for the emulator that you're using. Below you will find a link to the Dosbox Turbo thread, have fun

Now it's possible to launch Fallout 1 & 2 using Exagear RPG. It works much more smoothly than through QEMU.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
ExaGear Awesome

Nice its finally out in the wild I've been waiting for this to become available, I've been following along in the forums since this was just being talked about. I'm going to give it some testing and possibly make a video, are you the developer by any chance? I was wondering if this will also run Kilaps fallout 2 restoration project, I love that mod:fingers-crossed:

Testing Fallout 1 and 2 Vanilla: Performance and load times are very good on my Note 2. Videos are choppy and the controls are a little difficult with a bit of a learning curve. Asking $7.99 for just the Ferrum controls to play just two games seems rather steep and could be a deal breaker when the app is past the Nov, 9th demo period. For kicks I tried to install the app on my HP Touchpad but unfortunately I got an error message, "The virtual memory is not 3G/1G split", so HP TP users may have issues with this app and data media builds.
[TouchPad General] Vervolf:
Roland, thanks for your feedback!

Yes, I'm a developer. We are planning to enhance Fallout mods support. About bug, there may be two reasons:

1. Kernel on device compiled with 2g user space. Usually it' rare case, but we plan to support such kind of kernels in future.

2. You install/copy Exagear RPG data files (image) on sd-card without exec permission. We'll fix that in future releases too.
[TouchPad General] Vervolf:
Thanks for Restoration Project's installation instructions. I'll process it and add to Exagear description.

About inapps. We suppose that usually user is interesting in one, may be in couple of games. So, from this point of view, there is no problem that controls purchased separately.

But really we just at the beginning of way in understanding what is the fair scheme for both users and developers in purchasing controls. Cause adopting games and making controls needs sufficient effort from out side too.

We have a lot of ideas how to improve Exagear usability and etc, but it needs resources. But for involved users like you it's no problem to give a promo version.

I sent you a PM a while back but haven't heard back, I hope everything is going well with the development.
