Quick menu

You can get to the quick launch button by bringing up an additional menu along the top. Do this by swiping down on the screen, swipe up to hide it. In the upper left corner you can find the button to bring up the quick menu options. You can also set an overlay button to bring it up in the settings menu, that's covered in the guide. Changing the setting to "Button Only" should fix the problem but obviously somethings wrong if its crashing the app.

Install and run this free Alogcat app from the Play Store.Next start up DosBox Turbo and crash it a few times, open the alogcat app and go to settings(3 Dots), save it. Connect the device with the USB cable, open the storage and look for the alogcat folder. Copy the small text file and upload it here. Also let us know what kind of device you're using and the version of Android you're running. Now the developer can take a look at your alogcat and solve the problem.

Cheers
[TouchPad General] Bojamijams:
I was hoping the 'Button Only' would indeed by the fix I need but the menu still pops up when I move my analog stick to the left for more then a second. Something has to be odd about that right?
[TouchPad General] Bojamijams:
Just an update for others who might be having the same issue too (that being, the QuickMenu pops up when you move a Dpad/Analog stick left for more then a 1 second

The issue was that I mapped the physical Dpad on my Moga Pro to the left/right/up/down but used the analog stick to fly. You have to map the stick that you will use for movement (ie. will be held down a lot) to avoid this problem.

Not sure if this was it or the fact I've switched to CM10.2 but bringing up the QuickMenu (intentionally now) no longer crashes it. Also I was using IntelliDemand governor before but am now using Interactive. That may also have been it.

Anyway Privateer 1 with Moga Pro on my phone is amazing. So much nostalgia!!

noobies need help

ive already do all of that.. but how to boot..

c:imgmount d: /sdcard blablabla

c:boot -| c

then error
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
what you talkin bout willis

You've already done what now?? Its all setup for you, you don't type anything..... Time to rewatch the video.
[TouchPad General] gene_wildhart:
I think your problem may be the last line. It needs to read:

boot -l c

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

Just a note that any inputs that are not mapped in the DosBox Turbo button mapper will be ignored by DosBox itself and passed directly to the underlying Android OS. Depending on your ROM/OS, a left dpad or stick movement often defaults to something similar to the back button.

Glad you were able to resolve the issue by mapping the analog stick!

Joystick in WinX box?

Roland,

Have you been able to get the joystick working in your Win(x) machine? I have note 3, installed Falcon 4 and Xwing vs TIE, run like champs but need a joystick.

Thanks
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Which joystick?

Can you be a little more specific about "the joystick" are you talking about a particular model or connection, OTG, Bluetooth?

As you can see I'm more into strategy but I'll be trying some more games next month
[TouchPad General] VenomousWoe:
Roland sent me here. I've been having trouble getting the Joysticks on the Nvidia Shield to be recognized by the Win 98 image in DOSBox Turbo. As far as the image is concerned, the joysticks don't exist. I have it set so that DOSBox emulated a 2-axis joystick, and Physical Joystick is selected in the options. Neither the Add button in Gaming Options, nor the Add Hardware Wizard detect the sticks. Naturally, this puts a damper on my plans to run X-Wing Alliance on the Win 98 image.

Curiously, the joystick is detected when running a DOS game, namely TIE Fighter.

If Gene can help pin down the problem, I would appreciate it.

Something changed in the past week. Turbo is completely ignoring the autoexec.bat for 9x emulation. Win9x used to work but the bat just disappeared and went to default. I re-entered the old imgmount and boot from page 1 here but it's being ignored. Manual mode is unchecked. The only difference between my dos and win3x games that work and 9x that doesn't work is the isa pnp and 3dfx checkboxes. Everything has a custom autoexec.

My autoexec is basically this from the front page here, except everything is on the onboard chip of my ME301T running Android 4.2.1..

imgmount c: /sdcard/c.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,16,520
imgmount d: /mnt/sdcard/external_sdcard/hdd-1gb.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,64,520
boot -l c

It's just being completely ignored.

I can't even figure out where the config is because it's not where the DosBox manager settings say it is.

I ended up deleting the original profile. It boots now with one imgmount, but refuses with two.

Hi all

Hello,

I am trying to run w95 games I loved to plae years ago.

I got mechcommander gold to run pretty well but a bit slow to get it smooth and nice to play.

I am now trying to run Space Empires IV but I get a windows socket inizialization failed and it seems I need two dlls in windows c image but I dont know how to proceed. Those dlls are: Winsock.dll and Wsock32.dll I think, both of them linked to somethin more or less to TCP protocols?

I am not an expert so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.
[TouchPad General] gene_wildhart:
I don't use the joystick in Win9x so I haven't had a chance to test the following; however, I believe the joystick is autodetected wrong in Win9x and you have to set it manually. Can you try the following:

Windows wants to use address 200-207, but it needs to be 201-201.

Go to Device Manager->Joystick

Switch from "Basic Configuration 1" to "Basic Configuration 0" in "Resources" in device properties for joystick.

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

Can you double check your paths? The big change in the last revision of DosBox Turbo & DosBox Manager was to default to the "officially sanctioned" external sd paths allowed by KitKat (Android 4.4+). You can still override the defaults by changing your autoexec; however, be aware that KitKat and above only allow writes in very specific paths on your external storage, so if you upgrade to KitKat and notice things not working (ie. unable to write to sd), that is likely the problem.

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Sounds like Space Empires needs network access. Currently, DosBox Turbo does not emulate an ethernet card in Win9x due to limitations on Android that dis-allow capturing of raw packet data (needed to emulate an ethernet card) unless you have root access. I have successfully tested ethernet (network access in windows) in experimental builds of dosbox turbo; however, it would require a rooted device. I might just enable it so that at least rooted users would be able to emulate an ethernet card and use Internet Explorer! =)
[TouchPad General] BigD145:
I don't have KitKat. I have 4.2.1.

Here's my exact autoexec now that I have a bit of time to sit down at a computer. This will not boot c.img.

imgmount c: /storage/emulated/0/dos/win9x/c.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,16,520
imgmount d: /storage/emulated/0/dos/win9x/hdd-1gb.hdd -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,64,520
boot -l c

Right now I don't even know what I had in my autoexec before the last couple DosBox updates because they were all erased or something. My conf's all disappeared after updating. I haven't updated my device because I can't root it with the latest Asus Android versions. Things stopped working with the DosBox update this past month.

If I cut out the entire second line (imgmount d: ....), that second hard drive, then the c drive boots. Otherwise, I end up in dosbox with "Drive C is mounted as local directory /storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/files". That's where the win9x.conf exists in "config location" (which is greyed out) in the DosBox settings.
[TouchPad General] MystyDust:
Hi

I had same problem as you. But I have kitkat and I didn't know that problem about the sd...it seems dosbox turbo was unable to load anything in the external sd card (by the way any way I can load images from the sdcard?...any folder dosbox turbo could load from the sd?)

I checked and rechecked the paths and I finally moved the images to internal storage. Curiously when I set the paths you show us, that were supposedly the rights paths, dosbox couldn't load my images, but I tried and changed this: "imgmount d: /storage/emulated/0/dos/win9x/hdd-1gb.hdd -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,64,520" to that: "imgmount d: /sdcard/dos/win9x/hdd-1gb.hdd -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,64,520"...I dind't had the images in folders just in this path: "imgmount d: /sdcard/hdd-1gb.hdd -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,64,520"...that means directly in the root of the internal memory...I don't know why changing that paths made dosbox turbo to load...but if you want to try out you are welcome.

Hope it helps!

It would be great just to try out because I think space empires IV is really apreciated game by many people. But, isn't there another way to do it? Maybe just placing those dlls manually in a folder inside win9x image to fake space empires? I just don't know if I am sayng a complete stupid thing...because I need to play space empires just alone without network acces...maybe modifiying a cfg file of the game...?

Any help is greatly apreciated.
[TouchPad General] BigD145:
No, changing to /sdcard/ or "root" did not work. I tried every combination of the c.img and hdd1gb.img in sdcard and dos/win9x folders. It was a good try.

[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Auto exe and Kitkat Issues resolved

Hey Sorry for the late reply I was discussing this problem with DBT developer Gene. I also encountered this error with the recent update and no manner of switching the config files would solve it. This problem should only be effecting android 4.4.2 Kitkat users but some sort of bug while updating may have occurred.

To resolve this problem reinstal the application, set the app back to manual mode and those auto exe lines should function normally now. Sorry for the inconvenience but Kitkat has added accessibility problems for people using the external SDcard.

Android 4.4.2 Kitkat External SDcard Issues:

For anyone experiencing problems with Kitkat, DBT developer Gene has the following fix for accessing your external SDcard.

Android 4.4.2 Kitkat has changed the way permissions work for accessing the external SDcard.

1. You can still read/write from the devices internal storage normally.

2. You can write to external sdcard but ONLY in a very specific directory...

imgmount c: /<path to sdcard>/Android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/c.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,16,520

imgmount d: /<path to sdcard>/Android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/hdd-2gb.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,64,1023

Note:The directory paths in Red can vary across devices. Use a file explorer to view the location and find out the proper path.

On DosBox Turbo, this means that if you have your games in the external SDcard, you'll have to move them to:

/storage/sdcard/Android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/

DBT default config file line for external SDcard data:

imgmount c: /storage/sdcard/Android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/c.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,16,520

imgmount d: /storage/sdcard/Android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/hdd-2gb.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,64,1023

The above path may differ depending on the device used. On Samsung devices, the proper directory in your DBT config should be.

/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/

Samsung devices default config file external SDcard path:

imgmount c: /extSdCard/Android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/c.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,16,520

imgmount d: /extSdCard/Android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/hdd-2gb.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,64,1023
[TouchPad General] BigD145:
I uninstalled everything, lost all my configs, restarted, reinstalled, and restarted again. Nothing has changed. I can't even copy my old configs (backed up before the uninstall) OR edit the configs made by the launcher to include all that autoexec text by just copying the autoexec text with 920 text editor (which has handy tabs and is also not the default text editor, sadly). It won't stick. I had to manually enter the imgmount stuff again within the DBT editor. Very unfriendly to a user that should know what they are doing.

Turning manual mode on does not help, it hurts. The autoexec is still not functioning. I can't edit the config in manual mode because Document Viewer (thinkfree txt viewer) refuses to open it and I don't know how to point that at another program. I even tried to point "Config Location" to the win9x.conf in "com.fishstix.dosbox/files/dosbox/". By default it was pointing to "com.fishstix.dosboxlauncher/files/dosbox.conf".

Windows still boots without the imgmount d.

Something I am noticing here with 4.2.1.

"DBT default config file line for external SDcard data:

imgmount c: /sdcard/Android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/c.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,16,520"

^^^^ That is not external. /sdcard/Android/data/ is the internal storage on an Asus Jelly Bean device as seen from the File Manager. http :// i61.tinypic.com /hwef4h.jpg

BRB, testing this and manually typing dos commands into DBT editor because I can't copy/paste with a proper text editor into a conf file.

NOPE. Did not work. I tried placing the img files in the com.fishstix.dosbox/files folder without success. Truly frustrating now that all my profiles are gone.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Please follow the instructions

Please attempt to carefully read the responses and instructions. I'm telling you that this setup if for android 4.4.2 kitkat devices and you're using android 4.2.1 jelly bean:rolleyes:... It's not supposed to work for you. Several examples are shown for non kitkat devices just above that in the OP. The heading says Android 4.4.2 Kitkat External SDcard issues!

Its only possible for you to use one config file at a time with DBT so you couldn't have lost multiple configs, this makes no sense. Are you talking about the Dosbox manager?? That's a competently separate app, you can't back that up or edit it from PC. You could also move the regular config file to your PC and edit it there, the one for dosbox not the manager app.

Before reporting problems test what I have suggested and stop trying to customize the configs or move around the files.

1)Uninstall the app, reinstall the app.

2)Follow the default instructions, enable manual mode Before copying over the default win9x config files provided. Do not attempt to modify them or change any directory's.

3)launch the app and report back with the results. All we need to know is if your still getting the "Drive C is mounted as local directory /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/files" message or something similar. Clearly state what app you're trying to use Dosbox turbo or the Dosbox manager, don't assume I know. The instructions in the guide are not meant to be used with the dosbox manager you'd have to manually enter the info there, from the app. I'm asking you if the internal storage is working.

I have already contacted the developer and if there is a problem related to your device he will find it. First we must determine if the problem is with some new changes to the app or just you misunderstanding the instructions. I assure you its frustrating for everyone especially the developer but we need your help in determining if there is a problem or not. Like I said I had a problem but fixed it by starting over and reinstalling the app. I had to change nothing else.

Thanks

[TouchPad General] BigD145:
DosBoxTurbo does not have a built in text editor. It uses the device's default text editor. In my case that editor does not recognize .conf extension and crashes trying to open them from DB settings. When editing with other editors that don't care about extensions the changes get overwritten/reverted by DBT.

I'll go back through the original instructions and see what happens.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Come on man, are you talking about the config for the dosbox manager or dosbox turbo, its separate.... I think you're right the text editor was removed, there used to be one, sorry I forgot.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Problem Spotted

Ahhhh its looks like you're right about editing the regular config from the app, thats not working(My apologies). You can still edit on PC and move it over so just try that. I would still like to know if you've tried the internal storage. Again some changes have been made for Kitkat and this latest update is likely the cause of any problems. Use all the defaults with the internal storage and there should be no problem.
[TouchPad General] BigD145:
I was working through the Manager. Regular Turbo also would not open the config. Both acted exactly the same.

I've gone back through the original instructions, placing both img files and dosbox.conf in the default location when opening my device from Windows. After checking manual mode and 3dfx, I looked at the config location and it is defaulted to /storage/emulated/0/Android/com.fishtstix.dosbox/files/ . I rolled that back to the /0/ and that finally got things working like they used to.

This whole thing started from Turbo and/or Manager deleting or rolling back config files. Many many months ago I had both img files in a folder and things worked. I don't even remember how, but the update changed everything.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Nice work and now we know where to start looking for a problem. Now that you've got the internal storage working with DBT try out the manager and see if that's back to normal. Sorry you lost the configs for that I didn't know you even had it installed. I only meant for you to uninstall the main app:( I was also pretty confused when the update caused all of my defaults to not work too, I only had the one config to loose though. Sorry if you have to set those all up again, you could have dozens.

Edit: /storage/emulated/0/Android/com.fishtstix.dosbox/files/ seems to be the default now for my note 2. I guess its a problem with the update. The dosbox config does seem to have permission issues when trying to open it from the app or any other app, it won't save the changes(tried several now). I'm just booting up my HP Touchpad to see if this is the same for Kitkiat too. It looks like you can just get around this by manually editing the configs from your PC, that's what I always do. I was just playing with the manager too and its not functioning, I could have sworn DBT had its own text editor but I could be wrong.
[TouchPad General] BigD145:
About two dozen, a couple of them win3x games. Finding the original bat's and exe's names will be the most annoying part of recovering all this.

I changed the manual config location in the Manager just like I did in Turbo and that works as well.

I tested SimCity 3000 Unlimited with no success using 256mb RAM. It gets past the intro video (sound included) and just hangs at the SC3000U splash screen. It doesn't show all the menu options and clicking does nothing. I had been itching for an older SimCity on Android and figured I'd go big. Ah well.

Holiday Island seems to work, although the color palette is messed up. I think it worked better under win3x.
