Problems with Dungeon Keeper 2

Hi, so far i have gotten the image with dungeon keeper 2 on my phone (Normal HTC One m8 Rooted), and dosbox turbo does start up in the home screen, but when I try to launch the game, dosbox turbo crashes. So, can anyone help me with fixing this? I have the config file to pentium_mmx cpu type and the memory size to 512.(The copy of the game was from GOG.COM)
[TouchPad General] Borchuck:
I'm afraid that pentium_mmx emulation doesn't wor well at this time. It boot windows but crash every time I try to run any game. On pentium mmx everything work well but without game that require mmx.
[TouchPad General] Crossfire44:
So, what should I do? Use a previous version of dosbox Turbo?
[TouchPad General] Borchuck:
Try to run it without MMX.
[TouchPad General] Crossfire44:
Tried it but it does not work. Anything else I should try?
[TouchPad General] Borchuck:
Does it crash immediatly?
[TouchPad General] Crossfire44:
Takes a second to load before crashing.

Takes a second before it crashes.
[TouchPad General] Borchuck:
Does any other game work? On gog.com you can read that minimum OS is WinXP.
[TouchPad General] Crossfire44:
The original Dungeon Keeper Works, Fallout 2 and Tactics work as well.
[TouchPad General] Borchuck:
Well maybe gog version just don't work on older Windows...
[TouchPad General] Crossfire44:
The first dungeon keeper was from gog.com.
[TouchPad General] Borchuck:
But sequel could have higher requirments.
[TouchPad General] Crossfire44:
True, but the list of supported games at the start of the forum is wrong then
[TouchPad General] Borchuck:
It surely depend on device. You could also try ExaGear.
[TouchPad General] Crossfire44:
I have adjusted the .conf file (mmx to 386) and now the error is an illegal operation and closes the program.
[TouchPad General] Borchuck:
Have you tried ExaGear?
[TouchPad General] Crossfire44:
No?
[TouchPad General] Borchuck:
You can try it for free:

Reduce the amount of memory to 128MB or 64MB.

What device and version of android are you using? Try using the default location of the internal memory and reduce the memory amount instead of increasing it. Its indicating that there is not enough free memory so you may need to reboot or clear away background apps, android is a memory hog.

Vault-Tec Desktop Crashing:

-If you get a "Low memory" error message or your device crashes to the desktop when you run the app, then you will need to reduce the amount of memory used. Try 128MB or 64MB.

I am trying to get Civ2 running in Win95 in Dosbox Turbo. I have so far tried on my Nexus 6 running 6.0 and my Note 3 running 5.0.1.

In both cases, I can boot into windows, install the game, and double click the CIV.EXE to run it. When I do, Dosbox Turbo immediately crashes with no indication of an error message. I've tried both V1 and V2 versions and no difference.

I tried the same exact HDD images on doxbox daum for PC and it works and the game runs great.

Not really sure how to troubleshoot this. I've tried disabling 3dfx, reducing memory from 512 to 64, changing processor types, and no difference.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

Disregard. Still no idea what happened, but I found the Gold version of Civ2 and tried it and it works fine. Something about the original CD version that won't run on DosBox Turbo.

[MENTION=4597570]RolandDeschain79[/MENTION] help please. I have Note 4 SM-910H. 3GB RAM and Exynos octa processor. Age of empires 2 lags too much as hell. I tried setting memsize to 1500 or even 512 it crashes. I have cycles at max value. Disabled audio as well but it sill lags. What equivalent processor my phone has? Any idea why it lags.

Same here on g901f S5
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Emulated CPU too slow for this game

AOE2 is a rather demanding game for DBT, increasing the memory amount won't help in this case. The best emulated CPU is a Pentium 1 @ 75 - 90 so you won't meet the minimum game requirements. Try using Exagrear RPG instead for this game, the emulated CPU is more powerful and will get you playable speeds on your device.

Bridge Commander

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried installing and playing Bridge Commander using Dosbox Turbo for Android with Windows '98 image? Is it even worth attempting? Thanks very much!
[TouchPad General] bchliu:
Not sure if anyone has asked the question or anything. But is there a way to get a bigger C: Drive from the Win .img files with this post? Having 48MB left is not very healthy. Wanna see if I can get some things installed on C: drive (eg Office and Visio XP). Thanks in advance..

When I open the app, I get prompt saying Insufficient memory to initialize Windows", together with the suggestion that I close some memory resident programs and/ or alter the autoexec.bat and config.sys to make more memory available.

Already changed memsize in the file but didn't work

Dosbox Turbo has had some issues and is in need of an update(Last updated October 23, 2015). If the app refuses to launch on your device try using Magic DosBox here or ExaGear for an easier setup. Have fun:cool:

[TouchPad General] OhMiBod:
doesn't magic dosbox require me to install a virtual windows 95 os on the pc and bringing it over to android so dosbox magic can run the os in order to play games? I saw someone do it on video tutorial. I mean, If I can just use magic dosbox like how dosbox turbo did where I just download the dos/gog games and put the directory into my phone and launch the dosbox app, that'd be cool.

plus, I don't want exagear becuase it seems to have a smaller list of supported games and i don't like the price point for the value.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Both apps are DOS emulators

Both apps are DOS emulators so the same files and commands will work on either app, mostly the interface is different. No need to make the img files when you've already got them here. In magic Dosbox you setup the Expert commands to modify the Dos config file and mount your image files. If one of these apps is incompatible with your device just try the other. ExaGear will actually run more non DOS games but does cost a lot more than the free apps.
[TouchPad General] OhMiBod:
Do you happen to have a tutorial of your own? I'm not tech savy and I don't understand the guy who owns the magic dosbox channel. Plus, do you happen To know where the dosbox turbo files and folder are in the phone? It seems the settings are permanent even when I uninstall. I need to reset the root and everything I screwed up.

Also, do I need to the installed directory of the game.exe and files in my phone or do I run the game in dosbox with ISO file? I'm confuse
[TouchPad General] OhMiBod:
So it seems like I got magic dosbox installed and was able to get daggerfall installed through the exact same step the developer did in his YouTube.

Took quite some time and is different from how dosbox turbo games were launch.

The confusing part is I got quake and Gabriel knight dos file off Emuparadise and they both ran through magic dosbox just by locating the directory where I the exe is located .

With elders scrolls I had to locate the game root directory, the installer, and enable CD file, then setup and install the game, restart then locate the application and run it

I was wondering what would be the appropriate way to do it? Though I ran Gabriel knight and quake simply with a click, Gabriel knight was laggy with no audio.

I read a post you made that you had the longest journey gog running on dosbox? Would u mind showing me how I can possibly do on magic dosbox??

That's the one game I'm doing this for. I have. Gog directory of TLJ but when inserting it in , I get error saying dos files can't be played or something . Not sure if it's because the game isn't supported or do I have to use another method
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
The TLJ is not a DOS game, so it cannot be launched from DOS. To play it you'll have to mount the img files and launch windows. Sorry but I do not have a tutorial on Magic DosBox. I offered to make instructions for the developer but he would prefer to do it himself. That's his youtube channel you're watching so be sure to like his videos, lots of work developing an app and making instructional videos. Basically Magic DosBox uses an expert settings menu instead of manual mode. You'll need to add the following lines to the bottom of the dosbox config to mount the image files and launch windows95. DBT directory information is on the first page, I recommend reading that info over if you're confused about the file locations.

imgmount c: /sdcard/c.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,16,520

imgmount d: /sdcard/hdd-2gb.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,64,1023

boot -l c

DOSBox Turbo vs Magic DOSbox

Just wanted to chip in, since I've spent quite some time trying to make FO1 run decently on my LG G Tab 8. In Dosbox Turbo it was unplayably slow and obviously four on-screen buttons are less than sufficient to offset the control scheme of a mouse and keyboard game. Installing another app on top of that to get some decent controls felt redundant and definitely wouldn't improve the performance.

Then I've tried Magic Dosbox Free - game ran MUCH faster to the point of being actually playable (still slow pathfinding though). Decided to pay for Magic Dosbox since the performance was better than anything else I've tried and it's a beast - runs well (no music for better performance, other sounds are not distorted in the slightest) and after customizing my control scheme it's a blast. See for yourself (the controls I mean):

i.imgur.com/3COzZX0.png (sorry, can't post normal links yet)

In conclusion: Magic DOSBox is worth the price of admission if you want this level of customization AND best performance (from my experience).

P.S. The "notepad" feature of Magic is great for older games to keep notes without pen and paper or switching apps.

Hi there,

I got Pixel C with phisical keyboard - it got Nvidia Tegra X1, 3GB RAM and arround 15GB free storage.

II've done all the stuff you said and managed to run fallout 2 restoration mod 2.3.3, but...

Still go some issues...

1. sound at windows loading and in game is inttermiting (in same way as on youtube tutorial)

2. can't run any typical dos games like raptor call of shadow, hocus pocus, ugh, dune 1 and 2 or any under windows...

3. can't reboot sytem or leave to full dos

4. MAIN PROBLEM - can't set memory to memsize=512, whenever i do this i get message insufficient memory to run windows... and after next dosbox start i got menu with safemode possibilities. When i set vmemsize to 8,16 or 32 it doesn't change anything (at least it doesn't stuck) but i can't get with normal memory.

5. Sometimes it stucks on loading windows sometimes not, how to stabilise that ?? I mean that Tegra X1 should handle Win with dos easliy but cant manage it properly.

6. And what aobut coretype maybe i shuld set it from pentium_slow to pentium or pentium_mmx to get better performance ?

Please help me with this.

Edit #1:

Menaged to run on 256mb but it's laggy, sound is stucking and game crashes/stuck ofen. When 512mb or more of RAM, gets message:

Insufficient memory to initialize Windows.

Quit one or more memory-resident programs or remove unnecessary*
utilities from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, and restart*
your computer.

Press any key to continue...

Is any possibility to force win 9x on 512 or even 1gb ram (got 4GB on pixel C). Should i change some in himem or any other file?
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
It helps to read the post history I've already addressed this several times. Your device and OS are newer than the app and it causes issues, alternate methods are offered for those having problems.

You're not supposed to run dos games from windows, that's just wasting resources. Run the dos games from the dos app itself for better results here.

If you want to get back to the regular dos prompt unselect manual mode from the settings. The preconfigured dosbox config is meant for launching win9x easily and won't exit to dos when shutdown.

The sounds is a little buggy in win9x but is better when running just DOS games without win9x.

Running the Fallout 2 restoration project mod 2.3.3 can be very resource intensive for Dosbox turbo and might be better experienced with ExaGear RPG. However the regular patched Fallout 2 will run more fluently with Dosbox Turbo.

[TouchPad General] droidgames37:
This is a fantastic guide, i found it quite easy to get windows up and running on my phone. I downloaded version 2b of the gaming package so i could have cd support via another mounted image file and it all worked great. I had tried multiple times to create my own image file and install windows 98 on it but i was never able to find a boot file that worked, the windows install would always fail somewhere after i had started the setup in dosbox. My question is does the OP have larger c.img files with windows installed on them? The provided file is only 256 mb and since the OS takes up over 200 mb that leaves little to no room for installing additional games. I would really like a 2gb harddrive with windows and drivers already installed, does anyone have one?

The dos version im guessing . Your physical ram is low and you specified no video memory. Neither of these would account for no sound. Your audio looks ok. You could lower your prebuffer and the rates a bit but not the cause of your issue. Theres nothing wrong with your conf. The issue must be on the software end. What format is the game in? Are you mounting the cuefile? You would still have audio not mounting the .cue , you just wouldnt have any music . Please include your autoexec (the actual mount/ imgmount command your using ).

Do it like this in autoex:

you have to mount something like i am mounting an image file (c.img) which contains a win98. And another drive which contains your games.

If you are using it for playing Rise of Rome & AOE II, I will suggest you to use exagear strategies. It works surprisingly great. I use it to play AOE - Rise of Rome and AOE II Gold. works smoothly.
