Fallout 1 is played with Dos, Samsung phones have SDcard issues

Are you using the stock android Rom with an unrooted Note 2? My Note 2 has had issues with the SDcard not working properly with the stock Roms. It was actually breaking my SDcards and I was unable to access the data form it, I think its a software problem. I was waiting for my warranty to expire before rooting and trying some customs roms. I wonder if this is the same issue for you or not? It seems that there are a lot of issues with Samsung phones and SDcards not working properly. You can Google "samsung phone sdcard problems" to see the scope of the problem. The solution might be to root the phone first and try a custom rom but I've still got a few months left on my warranty before I give it a go.

Have you tried reading the instructions? I hear that helps when you have questions;)

Full Fallout 1 install instructions:

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 "Manual Mode". You must restart the app before these changes will take effect.

2)Download and install Fallout 1 the game on your PC. I got it from a free promotion @ GOG

3)Download and extract the Fallout 1 Dos files below. You will need to add these Dos files into the fallout 1 folder installed on your PC. Copy and paste them directly into that folder.

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 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:

Config V4.0 For all devices, 256MB mem, cycles set to default Max, Auto.exe :

Optional) Install the NPC patch: This allows you to edit your NPC follows weapons and inventory, like in Fallout 2. Download, extract and place the "Data" folder into your fallout 1 directory.

5)Look Inside the Fallout 1 configs folder. The second folder called "DosBox Config" has a modified Dosbox Turbo Auto exe Config File. You will need to copy and paste it into the root directory of your Android device along with the Fallout 1 folder. Make sure you have done step 1 or this will not work and you will have to recopy the file after redoing step 1. The Root directory is in the internal memory, the default location that opens when you plug in the USB cable and explore the device. Now you are ready to launch the DosBox Turbo app from you Android device and begin your adventure into the Wasteland.

6)(Optional)Get the free Hackers Keyboard from the Play Store. It has a better layout for playing games and includes directional keys.

Using Virtual On Screen Buttons:

-In the DosBox settings menu check “Overlay Buttons”.

-Open “Button/Controller Maps” and choose “Add button Mapping”.

-A new label will appear, click it “Map custom Button (x)”

-At the top select 1 of 4 custom buttons to map

-Now select “Dos key mapping” and assign a key to the button.

-Once done select ok and repeat this for all 4 buttons.

-A good setup for playing fallout would be:

-Btn A=space, Btn B=b, Btn C=I, Btn D=s

-space=end turn, b=change hands, i=inventory, s=skill index,

-There is a Fast Forward button at the very bottom of the “Dos key mapping” menu, scroll down all the way.

-Map this key and you can hold it down to increase the cycles.

-This helps to speed up long load times, but note it will distort any audio that is playing.
