Alright, I just tested it out on the latest DosBox Turbo v2.1.12 using the Moga Universal driver and I had no problems mapping any of the DPAD inputs and playing games with my MOGA controller. I'm going to try and film a video and put it up on Youtube so that you can see the procedure I used and determine if you did something different. Give me an hour or so to get the video up.

EDIT: Video is now online. Also noted that you are using a different controller than I am using (I've got the Moga Pocket controller). My Moga Pocket doesn't have a DPAD, had to use the left analog as a dpad, but it still seems to work fine as DPAD.
[TouchPad General] rubejb:
Thanks for taking the time to test it.

I have a Moga Pocket as well, but I recently upgraded to a Moga Hero Power in order to get extra buttons and a d-pad. The universal driver doesn't work with the Hero, so I've just connected it via the Bluetooth menu, no extra software required.

What's odd, is that the Dosbox Turbo setup detects that I'm pressing DPAD_UP, DPAD_RIGHT, etc. So I can map all of the buttons just fine. But in game they're ignored. Or rather, X-Wing ignores them, I haven't had a chance to try any other games.

I also haven't really had a chance to muck around with the settings any more. Perhaps I'll figure out whats going on at some point. It's probably my fault again. :)

Diablo 2 for Dosbox Turbo

It's here "How to Play Diablo 2 on Android with Dosbox Turbo" Turns out our image files work fine but you need a particular version of the game which appears to be modded(1.05b), look for that link in the videos description. 4PDA Forum thread post here:

Amazing, thanks for the video and the links!

I have a 2013 Nexus 7, and I agree that it's not what I consider playable. Still a pretty awesome thing to mess around with. I'm wondering if there are any Dosbox tweaks that could be done to get it to run better?
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
No problem, I was thrilled to see it work finally with Dosbox Turbo. Performance is slow but disabling the sound and increasing the cycles helps a lot.

I'm having an issue while using DOSBox:

I can't play shooters like BLOOD etc. using the right analog stick of the Samsung Gamepad for Android (EI-GP20) which is connected via Bluetooth to my Galaxy Note 3.

Everything else works but the right analog stick is just not being recognized (simply as if there wouldn't be one).

I'd like to use the right analog stick for mouse strafing but don't know how to solve / configure this.

Any suggestions?

Dungeon Keeper Gold

Me again, hope I'm not being too much of a bother...

I've been trying to get the GoG version of Dungeon Keeper Gold running on Dosbox Turbo, but I really don't have much experience mounting drives and whatnot.

When I try to launch either Keeper.exe or Deeper.exe from Dosbox Turbo, it launches the game loading screen, but then just goes to a giant red CD with a question mark on it. I can only assume this is the "Disc not found" error screen. Can anyone help me with mounting the CD drive in TB Tubo?

Here is the .conf file that comes with DKG if it's any help:

[autoexec]

# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
[MENTION=279333]ECHO[/MENTION] off

mount C ".."

imgmount d "..\game.inst" -t iso -fs iso

c:

cls

keeper.exe

exit
[TouchPad General] gene_wildhart:
Looks like some people over on reddit have got a guide on how to get the GOG version of Dungeon Keeper 1 running on DosBox Turbo. Did you try copying the CD contents to your sdcard and editing the keeper.cfg like they suggested in that thread?
[TouchPad General] rubejb:
Ah thanks! I was doing Google searches using every search term I could think of and coming up with nothing. I didn't even think to search Reddit directly.

Problem with the launch in Dosbox Turbo

Hi,

Thank you for this very good tutorial, but I have a problem at the end to launch the game (Civilization II). I'm a newbie in emulation in android and I have never used Dosbox turbo. I followed the guide until the 8. so I have hdd.img, c.img, and dosbox.conf in /mnt/storage/ in my tablet. Now I don't know what I must do to open the game in Dosbox Turbo.

Thanks for your help

paulo
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Watch the video clip

Whats the problem? Did you watch the video @7:33? You have to launch the game from your emulated win9x environment.

8) Once the data is on your android device you can disconnect the USB cable. Now you can start the DosBox Turbo app and play your retro PC games on android, have fun.

[TouchPad General] paulo97:
Thanks ! I just saw that i installed Dosbox turbo after copying the files. I will test again

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

I have now an other problem, the tablet reboot automatically after that I launch Dosbox
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Hmm never heard of a tablet rebooting, what tablet is it? If you have 512MB or less memory you may need to change the default amount.

DosBox Turbo Performance Tweaking:

-If your android device has 1GB of memory or more, then you can increase the usable memory from the default of 256MB to 512MB.

-Open the dosbox.conf file and change the value to memsize=512

-Once the value is save the changes and transfer the dosbox.conf file over to your device.

-Increasing the memory can improve stability and performance.

-If you get a "Low memory" error message, then you will need to reduce the amount of memory used. Try 128MB or 64MB.

Before:

[dosbox]

memsize=256

machine=svga_s3

After:

[dosbox]

memsize=512

machine=svga_s3
[TouchPad General] paulo97:
It was a problem of memory ! With 64mb it begins to boot but after the picture of fallout it closes :(

I have a Archos 80 G9 8go 512mb, I think it's not powerful enough !
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Sorry but you only meet the minimum system requirements, so you might want to try running Fallout 1. Fallout 2 might be more than your tablet can handle. You will need to read the setup info for Fallout in order to get it working properly, have fun.
[TouchPad General] paulo97:
I tried again this morning and it has booted :D ! I couldn't install Civilization II because my HDD.img was too small. I will replace it by the 2gb one.
[TouchPad General] paulo97:
Now ici have the hdd 2gb and i modified thé config file. but when i launch dos box turbo, w98 shows an error message : "There is a problem with your display settings ...." and he says that my hardware is not adapted.
[TouchPad General] paulo97:
Thank you very much for your help ! I have replaced the files c.img and hdd.img and it runs now !

total annihilation

I'm having an issue with getting total annihilation to run in dosbox. I downloaded it from gog.com and made the image which I can access fine following this tutorial but when I click the exe file it hits me with an error message saying "d:\totalannihilation-commanderpack/win32.DLL expects a newer version of windows, please update your version" and behind this error is another "d:\totalannihiliation-commander pack/totala.exe a device attached to the system is not working" . I'm using a nexus 7 2013, I've had diablo 2 running but slow. I was hoping to get this going :( I don't know enough about DLL files and wouldn't of thought so but could it have anything to do with installing the game on a different version of windows? Any help is appreciated.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Total Annihilation use the Older cd version

Generally GOG games have good backwards compatibility but in some cases the original CD versions work best for playing games through emulation. Try using the older CD/ISO version of the game, I believe that is the one that will work for you with DosBox Turbo.
[TouchPad General] STEAKTASTIC:
Unfortunately I don't have a CD drive because I'm using a notebook. I just downloaded an older version which cost twice as much for some reason, instead of saying win32.DLL I get DVM.DLL with the same error message. I have an iso maker but I wouldn't know what files to use out of the installed directory (all of them?). Anyone actually had this game running?

help please with fallout 1

Im not very good at this stuff but the video for fallout 1 helped. I managed to do everything on the list. I have the g.o.g. version of the game, downloaded in moved over the files that were in the video. I can get the game to start, it shows the video and start screen, I can move the mouse and make a selection but when I click on intro or new game or load I get a black screen with a flashing c: in the top left corner. Am I missing something? Also is it possible to play SystemShock 2 this way and if so how? Thanks for any help I can get.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Try reducing the memory

Hey don't worry this stuff is complicated and it takes a little patience, lets see if we can get it working for you. First off please tell me what type of Android device you're using. So it sounds like you've done everything correctly and the game is launching but then crashes when you try to start a new game. It could be your device doesn't have enough free memory so open up the Dosbox config file and reduce the memory size from 256MB to 128MB. You can do this from the app by scrolling to the bottom of the dosbox setting menu/advanced dosbox config and choose Edit config file. At the top of the config you'll see the following.

Before:

[dosbox]

memsize=256

machine=svga_s3

After

:

[dosbox]

memsize=128

machine=svga_s3

Next up try disabling the sound if you're still unable to launch the game. You can disable the sound from the fist page of the settings menu about halfway down. You will need to restart the app before this takes effect.

I haven't tried playing system shock 2 on here but you'd need a very fast device to even attempt to run it, probably like running Half Life. Don't forget to read the system requirements and supported game list on the fist page. Have fun

I'm rocking an nvidia shield and will try what you suggested when I get off work
[TouchPad General] benpwarner:
OK so I adjusted it to 128 and it still doesn't work. I'm using an nvidia shield. It has 1gb of ram available. I also tried to get daggerfall to work but it says I have the wrong CD inserted.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Troubleshooting

Hey lets try to stick to troubleshooting one problem at a time. What happened when you tried to disable the sound?

According to the Nvidia's specs the Shield has 2GB of memory so that's not going to be an issue for you.

Take a good look at the instructions and make sure you didn't miss anything. Step 4 requires you to add a fallout 1 custom config to the fallout 1 folder. This corrects the path for the game data and could be the reason why you're unable to get past the start screen.

4)Download and extract the Fallout 1 configs files .zip below. Locate the fallout 1 config folder inside. Here you will find two different Fallout 1 configs to choose from. If you have a fast device place the config file from the "Config With Video & Ambient sounds" into your Fallout 1 install folder. If you have a slower device, or experience performance issues, then place the config file from the "Config without Video & Ambient sounds" into your Fallout 1 install folder. Once you have all the necessary files in the Fallout 1 folder copy and paste the entire folder into the Root directory or your Android device, this is the default location that opens when you plug in the USB cable and explore the device.

Download Fallout 1 & DosBox Turbo Config files. Notes:For all devices, 256MB mem, cycles set to default Max, Auto.exe:

Also on Nvidia Shield here, got it all up and running using DOSBox Manager as well and I'm using the V1.0 Non-CD version of Win9x. I actually tested out V2.0 and was able to successfully install my CD copy of The Journeyman Project Turbo onto the Shield using Daemon Tools...but just as you say, it wasn't very stable :(. Now I'm on V1.0 trying to find No CDs or work arounds for a number of my games like Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 and Might and Magic 6 and other Steam/GOG Win9x games. This is the start of my experimentation phase and I'd be happy to test things out if need be, got a big batch of GOG and Steam games waiting to be patched/No CDed and tested.

Just redownload the package to get the fixed image files, have fun

None yet, its not currently supported and Gene told you he'd consider working on it if enough people showed interest. I would encourage you to leave him some positive feedback on his Play store app page and request this feature. If enough people request it then he'll start working on it.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Thanks for testing

Hi, thanks for letting us know you've got "The Journeyman Project Turbo" working with BDT. I will add it to the supported game list with the CD/ISO support needed message. I would appreciate your help in testing out games, its great that you already have a full library of GOG games. Please let me know what games you've tested and got working, add your notes about whether or not you needed CD/ISO support or a NO/CD fix. When testing out games try looking for NO/CD fixes at places like Game Burn World. I also was looking for a work around for Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 but hadn't found one. I've had a few requests for Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive, so if you've got that game on hand let me know if it works. I look forward to hearing about what you've tested out. Have fun:highfive:
[TouchPad General] atarumoroboshi18:
I think the best way will unquestionably be the NO/CD fixes. Since the CD version of Windows is rather unstable, maybe people can create preconfigured games that already have the No CD fix enable or at least post their working No CD fix. This was already done with Half Life, so maybe it can be done with other games.

Also, would it be okay to increase the size of the main Windows image and give it some extra free space to install games and the like with it? Oh yeah, what about installing the latest DirectX drivers and things as well on the Windows image too? Like DirectX 6 or 8 or something along those lines? Just throwing out questions. Unfortunately, I don't have Desperados in my huge list of GOG games, so I can't test that one.

I'm also starting to think it may be that Windows itself, as an operating system, may be the unstable portion in our equation, DOSBox Turbo seems to still be running even when the game or system itself has crashed. So my guess may be that Windows itself is at fault for any issues, but that's just my opinionated guess.
[TouchPad General] luvher:
well, i'll try.. let's see :)
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
1. NO/CD fixes are useful but don't work 100% of the time with emulation. The pre configured game files (Diablo 2 and HL 1) are modified to work but can't be distributed due to copy right concerns and forums rules. Do NOT post those here please, you'll get banned(YouTube is another story). Figuring out workarounds (modding game files) for getting the games to work is the most helpful, like I have done for Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics. DRM free games are the best and easiest way to play, that's why testing all your GOG games and posting the results here would be very helpful.

2. You can just direct games to be installed on the 2GB blank image file, no need to increase the c.img. You can compress a blank image a lot more than a full one.

3. It's win98 the drivers haven't been updated in years, all the drivers are up to date and DX9C is installed.

4. Emulation is a tricky business and not everything runs perfectly, that's the problem not so much windows.

I look forward to hearing your testing results, have fun.

total annihilation

Hi, thanks for making this guide (your gemrb guide for playing baldurs gate is great too). Im struggling getting total annihilation working as the guy in this thread was. I can only seem to get my hands on bin and cue files or mdx files. Sorry if its a stupid question but is it possible to use these file types following the method (dosbox win9x ver 2.0) stated in the guide? I've tried putting the bin and cue files into a HDD IMG and had no joy but I wasn't sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree with the file types or if I'm going wrong somewhere else. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
[TouchPad General] YellowNote:
I saw that Age of Empires was listed as compatible, but I've tried running it (version 1.0c, since no other nocd crack would work) but it keeps asking for cd inside dosbox. Are the games listed regardless of package version (maybe it would work on v2 but i get stuck on clock updating) ? Or am I missing something ?

Thanks
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Fixed package V2.0 redownload it.

Hey, thanks for letting me know that it's the version 2.0 that's having the day light savings time issues still. It was mentioned but no one specified which package or when they had downloaded it. I have fixed the link now so that you get the proper working 2.0 version, there are a few fixes here so everyone should redownload the V2.0 package.

AOE does work with a NO/CD fix and the V1.0 package. I belive the cracked exe I was using was for the AOE1 expansion. I'll look for the link to the correct fix and post it if you need. Try looking for an AOE torrent with the expansion and crack. If its being problematic you can always use the V2.0 and mount the ISO, now that its fixed:highfive:
[TouchPad General] YellowNote:
Thanks for the update, v2 is up and running.

I found a working AoE game so i'm good now, and a TA version that doesn't need CD.

I also found that Warcraft 2, Anno 1602, Populous The Beginning, Alpha Centauri and Strategic Command work fine on my N5.

Combat Mission Beyond Overlord, Simcity 3000, Europa Universalis 2 and Lionheart are running too, but they are way too slow (well EU 2 could be played on a Note 3 i guess since it's just a bit too laggy).
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Nice work!

Hey, I'm glad you got AOE working and thanks for posting the list of games you've tried out, I will add those to the supported game list in the OP. Could you please tell me if you needed to use version 2.0 for any of those games or were the all fine with a no/cd fix? It helps to know what methods are needed before I add it to the list. Let me know if you test out any others games:highfive:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 94jepd:
Hello, i747m Rogers user here that's pretty new to rooting and flashing ROMs but can follow the directions given easily enough.

I flashed AOKP Milestone 2 (after doing a factory reset, cache, dalvik wipe) and once I had it all up and running I thought my old stuff like photos and music were wiped clean off the device, which is fine since I was just going to re-copy the music anyway.

I go into storage and it says, however, only about 3 GB of space was free (I have a 16GB model).

So, I install Root Browser and try to find where it has saved all my stuff and I couldn't find it. /sdcard, /storage/emulated/0, /storage/sdcard0 all redirect into the "empty" folders; no music, photos, nothing.

HOWEVER, if I boot into Clockwork-based recovery, I can see my old stuff, from before I ever flashed a ROM; I can just "choose zip from sdcard" and it'll take me to /sdcard/ and it'll let me browse all my old folders. If I want to go to my normally accessible stuff, as in when I'm booted into Android, I have to go into /sdcard/0/.

As of now, I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1.2, the newest stable version and it's still the same. I changed to this because it seems to have fewer issues than AOKP (better battery life, working camera), but that's beside the point.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

CWM is v6.0.3.6
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
When using a Rom that is 4.2.2 or later, internal storage is moved into /data/media/0. Sometimes when you flash to one of those ROMS, the info doesn't get moved. Just manually move everything in /data/media to/data/media/0 to see your stuff on the aosp Rom. When flashing back to a TW based Rom, just do the exact opposite, moving /data/media/0 to /data/media, then delete the 0 folder after everything has been moved
