Dosbox Turbo hasn't been updated for years now.
[TouchPad General] eku:
Hello

Trying to mount 2GB image with DOSBOX Turbo , I got the error

"Unable to create drive from file".

The path /storage/EE20-68F0/ is the SD card, on the internal memory it works.

Any solution?

@Echo off

REM Before editing this dosbox.conf, please click on MANUAL MODE under the DosBox Settings preference if you plan to use a custom configuration.

REM Otherwise, DosBox Turbo will overwrite your configuration file at startup.

ECHO DosBox Turbo for Android

imgmount c: "/storage/EE20-68F0/c.img" -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,16,520

imgmount d: "/storage/EE20-68F0/hdd-2gb.img" -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,64,1023

boot -l c

Thanks in advance

It could be related to the new storage permision in Android and DosBox Turbo haven't been updated for a very long time. Maybe try Magic Dosbox?

ISO in hdd?

Hi. So i got the dosbox to work perfect thanks to this gudie. But all my games want the cd even with a crack installed on the pc before i put the game in the hdd. I thought the fix for this problem where to add the iso to the hdd in winimage and then mount it with deamon tools in dosbox. But winimage do not let me put the iso in the hdd. Dose anyone know how to fix this?

The game i want to play is Age of Empires 1.

Thanks!

Place ISO's into a folder first

Hey, AOE1 will work with a crack, I think I may have installed the expansion then cracked that instead of the original exe. The expansion exe lets you choose between both games. I used a no cd fix from game burn world. To use the ISO image put it into a folder before placing it into the HDD.img. Placing it directly into the open HDD.img causes it to fill the space and the image won't work properly after that. There should be a note about it somewhere but either of these should get it working. Also using the ISO may require you to fully install the game first so that it shows up in the registry. Just go through the install then and manually select the D: drive as you install location. Have fun:D
[TouchPad General] alucard136:
Thank you very much, i will try it out tomorrow after work, will wright feedback when i'm done. Great videos btw
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Hey thanks, the videos are a fun hobby:) Let me know if you get it all working. I think I might have forgotten to make a note about ISO to HDD.img problems, oops sry updating that now:highfive:
[TouchPad General] alucard136:
Thanks for everything! AOE now starts! :) I just installed the game from the iso to d like you said.

The disappointment is that my xperia z seem to have huge performance problems, aoe is far from playable with default settings. I think i have to tweek some settings tomorrow. ;)

Performance Tips

I'm happy to hear you got the game running. Try doing a small overclock of the CPU with CPU master. Higher clock speeds help out a lot with performance. You could also try increasing the cycles from the quick menu, you may need to try several different speeds till you find one that doesn't effect the audio too much. If its still too slow you can always disable the sounds for a big performance increase. Have fun

Pc games on note

I tried to to play age of empires 1:The rise of Romans but it shows insufficient memory. Can you please help me . I tried to play in Samsung Note ,
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
How are you playing it, mounting the ISO or using a crack? Did you see the previous conversation about that? We were saying you'd need to use the ISO or get the expansion with a crack.

Hangs at startup

Hey Roland,

I wanted to try this out and get Fallout 2 running, followed the video/guide but have run into a problem.

After doing everything all the way to the point you run DosBox, it starts up and I get the fallout picture with the green bar loading on the bottom. It then goes to the next fallout pic at which point a windows popup box shows up saying Windows has updated the time due to daylight savings bla bla. With an Ok button to press.

This wouldn't be an issue but I can't move the mouse cursor at all. Also pressing any keyboard keys do nothing (Esc, Enter, etc.). It seems to be hanging at this point and can't get past it.

Unsure what to do.

I'm using a Galaxy Note 3 phone.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for everything!

Aaron
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
I've fixed it and updated the links!

Hi Aaron,

As soon as you start the app open the keyboard and press enter repeatedly as its booting. It should be fine after that, have fun

Edit: I have fixed the problem and I'm reupload the files. It should be done in about 5mins. Redownload them and the problem will be fixed. Also new Config files with new CPU settings.

valid cputypes are: 386, 486, 386_prefetch (*), 486_prefetch (*), pentium, pentium_mmx

# (*) = requires normal core setting instead of dynamic

You should have lots of fun with that Note 3, my Note 2 is jealous.

Try Doom3 out, its a great game if you have a powerful device:victory:

[TouchPad General] traybourne:
Hey man this is a pretty awesome tutorial! I'm running into problems on my Nexus 4 though and I was wondering if you had any idea what would be causing it.

I load up Dosbox Turbo and I get that Fallout splash screen, but once the desktop starts loading, it locks up at the message I have attached to this post. I can load up just fine in safe mode so I tried disabling the option automatically adjust clock with the DST settings, but the message still comes up when it loads and then locks up. I can move around the mouse just fine before that message comes up too.

EDIT: Never mind, I didn't see that this was resolved in one post before mine. I was looking at this thread last night before that was posted and just posted today. Ignore me lol and thanks for the fix!:p
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
All fixed

Hey Traybourne,

So I have fixed this problem if you want to redownload the fixed image. Also the config file has changed because there are new CPU settings.

valid cputypes are: 386, 486, 386_prefetch (*), 486_prefetch (*), pentium, pentium_mmx

# (*) = requires normal core setting instead of dynamic

Edit: I see you solved it while I logged in, sorry for the inconvenience, have fun:D
[TouchPad General] bottad:
It works..

Hey Roland,

Thanks, that new version did the trick. It all works now and can get fallout 2 running. My only issue now is trying to get it running fast or at least at a playable speed anyway. Right now it's to slow to even play.

Could I ask how you were able to setup your Note 2 to run so well?

I have a feeling it may be the CPU governor on mine. If I use cool tool and monitor CPU usage when I get fallout 2 running, it never goes above 50-60% which seems fairly low. I haven't rooted it yet, been waiting until the rooting methods for Note 3 get a bit more stable so I don't void my warranty.

Thanks a lot for all the help and the instructional videos!

Aaron

PS. The Note 3 is pretty awesome.. ;) I'll have to give Doom 3 a try and see how it runs.

using img bigger than 2gb

is there any way to create and use an hdd.img file bigger than 2gb

Also...does the size of the img affect the speed? Can I place a 300mb file into a 2gb img? Is there any way to increase speed performance.

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for the guide.
[TouchPad General] bottad:
Figured out what my problem was. I was running the restoration version which had the hi res patch enabled as default, along with some other settings I needed to turn down. It runs well now but running into a scrolling problem, will have to play around a bit to try and fix it when I have time.

Thanks again!
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Info and Fixes

1}yes checkout Dosbox for PC, their guide and information applies to Dosbox Turbo as well.

2)The size of the image won't effect the performance but you can set virtual memory to use empty hdd space and this might improve performance. In win9x go to System properties/ performance Tab/ Virtual memory/ Let me specify my own virtual memory settings. In addition overclocking your CPU will give you the biggest speed boost but you'll need to be rooted in order to do this.

Hey Aaron,

Yep the restoration project is more intensive to run but you should be able to handle it on your Note 3. Higher resolutions will make Fallout much harder to run. Make sure you have the power saving option turned off as this will cripple performance by capping your max CPU speed. To improve screen scroll get my Fallout2 custom configs(in the guide) or just open the fallout2 cfg and change the art cache size to 512 or 768. This will help to smooth out the screen scroll but setting it too high could cause the game not to load. Let me know if this helps.

Cheers

creating hdd

vogons .org/ viewtopic.php?t=17324

I tried the instructions here to use the HAL9000 MegabuildB6 but it says that the maximum size is 2GB. Is there another program or process that I am overlooking or could you point me in the right direction?

Also, I have a device with maximum clock speed of 1.3ghz and I have a rooted device that allows me to set the performance setting on my cpu to maximum at 1.3 but I've tried multiple apps and cannot find anything that will allow it to exceed that to increase speed.

Again, thanks for all of your help.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Hey,

I've heard of people making 3GB images but its not necessary since all the older games are under 2GB. What device are you using? I'm not good at guessing;) Are you sure that you're rooted? You can't increase the clock speed if your not. A custom kernel would make further overclocking possible but its likely you have an older device and might not find one available.
[TouchPad General] theonyxphoenix:
3gb

I am trying to run Ever17 and other such games...which I had hoped to get running since they don't seem graphically demanding...but they are too large. I had found one a bit smaller but it was choppy. Perhaps it is just too high of a demand. I'm actually using a Nabi 2 stripped of the educational stuff.
[TouchPad General] Mattbarker1:
Hey RolandDeschain79, this is Matt Barker from YouTube. You asked me to post on this forum because you couldn't see my image links.

My comment was this, "Hey I am having problems.. I have watched the Instructional video and read the word document, and still nothing. I have the Win9x or whatever loaded but my﻿ games just don't work. I followed all the steps perfectly and I am running both GoG.com versions. Please help!!

The links below just need to be completed due to Youtube not letting me post links. Planescape doesn't even copy over right and Fallout just doesn't load, but copies right.﻿ Help ;[

i.imgur com /GKksT4Z.jpg

i.imgur com /DNen9S8"

So first off here are the fixed links to the images: i.imgur. com/GKksT4Z.jpg and imgur. com/DNen9S8 ---Alright, I guess since I'm new the site won't let me post links, so just delete the space between the dot and com on the links above and it should be the full link. Sorry about that!

Okay, the first image you don't really need to look at because it doesn't really matter anymore; it's the problem I was having with Planescape:Torment in copying the game over to the hdd. I infact did use your tutorial on how to play BG1/BG2/PST with GemRB and it worked perfectly, but I was concerned because in the video I believe you mention that the games ran like 10-15 minutes then crashed or something? That's why I figured your newest video using DosBox Turbo to run any PC game would run PST as well, but I guess it doesn't run PST? I'm a little confused! haha. (Also, I haven't played PST yet so I can't comment on if it indeed does craft after 10-15 minutes!)

The second link shows the image of where I am now with Fallout 1. I'm completely stumped. I've followed your instructions in the video perfectly, uninstalled and reinstalled DosBox Turbo twice-because I figured a refresh would maybe remedy things?Idk...- and I've also coped over Fallout 1 with and without the version 1.1 patch+DOS, and had the same DirectX result pop up.

All my games I've been trying to install are GoG versions and my phone is the Galaxy Note 3, so it should be able to run them perfectly fine I'd say.

Please helllppp!!! :(
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
1)You can't put 2.5GBs of data into a 2GB image. I've already told you to run Planescape with GemRB.

-Read the supported game list on the first page or written guide.

2)You can't run fallout 1 from a Dos link in win9x Dosbox turbo emulation. You're thinking of the the Dos or QEMU videos. The Dosbox Turbo version of this mod is more focused on playing Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics. Since Dosbox turbo is the fastest Dos Emulator;)

If you've already got it setup for Dos just use this method for the best Fallout 1 experience, No windows overhead. Don't bother using any config files unless u have issues. You're Note3 is just a bit faster than my HP TP.

Lol I look like such a hippy with a Webcam in this video

[YOUTUBE]C7MWMInQeCE[/YOUTUBE]

So just copy the whole fallout 1 folder to the device or put it in a folder and copy it. Run the app CD(change directory) to that location and run the fallout.exe.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
get the app

There's an app for that. Don't people Google things anymore?

[TouchPad General] bottad:
Ok, I ended up just reverting to regular version as the scrolling error seemed to only happen in the first temple level. I wasn't able to scroll the screen up to move forward in the level, dunno what was causing it. Everything works in the regular version except there is no sound fx.

I've set the fallout2.cfg to be like yours, unsure why no fx. There is music and speech however.

Aaron
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Maybe because there are two cfg files and one turns them off for slower devices;)
[TouchPad General] bottad:
I took the one labelled as with the sounds for videos and ambient effects. It's the sound fx for things like punching in combat, button presses, the combat indicator in the bottom right changing status, etc. I can hear some static when those sounds are supposed to play but that's it.

Thinking it must be something with dosbox as the sound works when I run the game on my PC.

Will have to play around some more and see if I can get it working.

Thanks for all the help!
[TouchPad General] Mattbarker1:
Alrighty sounds good I'll try it out and tell yah' how it works!
[TouchPad General] Mattbarker1:
Good news! Got Fallout 1 to work, yay! Although I do have some minor-if that at all- issues if you can help resolve them.

1. Mouse is a little difficult to move; even with the stylus.

2. Sounds a tad bit iffy, but nothing really major

3. Videos are still a little messed up.

I'm pretty sure you addressed all three of those problems in other videos of yours but I forgot where at? Let me know if its an easy fix!

Also I did have to move over some config files to start the game. It froze at the loading screen at first and then after copying them over it worked!

Now to get HL1 and AoE2 on there... Hmmmmmmm. Any videos about that? :cyclops:
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
HL1, AOE

You should use the quickmenu to set the CPU cycles to auto since the custom configs are meant for the HP TouchPad and your device is much faster than that. This should fix the sound but the videos are just choppy and won't run properly till you have a Note 6 or so;)

HL1 is slow but will run better on your Note3, I played AOE2 in the video on the main page. You should try Fallout 2, that should run well for you and it's more fun and longer than Fallout 1.

Sound issues

That might be a new sound issue. Are you manually increasing the cycles? This tends to cause problems with the audio. However since your device is so new their could be unknown bugs or issues. Have you tried any other games yet and if so was the sound fully functional there too?
[TouchPad General] Mattbarker1:
Alright so I tried finding the CPU cycling but the only place I could find it was in the advanced settings but I was unable to change it due to me having to run the game on manual mode for it to load?

Also some other questions: is there an easier way I can load between AoE and Fallout? It seems like I need to copy over the two different DosBox.config files to play one or the other since it's on two different OSs.

And the other question is I notice you mentioned CPU ovetclocking? Would you recommend it; like would it help?

Also for your concern about me playing Fallout 1 instead of Fallout2... I think of it as playing BG2 first instead of BG1. You gotta do the first one first man! Unless I've been missguided? (Not to mention I started with Fallout 3 lol)
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
[YOUTUBE]aAsFVUL0b_w[/YOUTUBE]

I use the quick settings to changes the cycles at 3:15 Its also mentioned in the guide so be sure to read that. You have to be rooted to overclock.

Overclocking:

-You will need to be rooted in order to Overclock your device. Increasing your CPU speed can have a large impact on performance and could make games playable on older devices.

-Get a free overclocking app from the Play Store such as AnTuTu's CPU Master (free). Open the app and increase the speed in small increments of 100-200Mhz and then run AnTuTu's Benchmark to check stability and performance. Once you've found a stable overclock start up Dosbox and have fun.

Playing Fallout in the order it was released makes sense for your first time. I just assumed you had played if before since its from 1997. It best to play if from Dos since thats the best method for that game and app. Get the Dosbox manager to quickly switch between your config files
[TouchPad General] Mattbarker1:
Ah right. Didn't even know that menu existed, haha!

And I've always had rooting in the back of my mind but never actually went through in doing it? I've had some positive and some negative responses from friends rooting their phones; ranging from it being absolutely essential to having it brick their phone in an hour lol. I've also had more than one friend lately tell me that Samsung roots are crappy and never work properly? Idk... Your opinions on rooting?

Yeah I've always been meaning to play Fallout 1 and 2 but with my MMO and the influx of new PC games each year it gets neglected. So hopefully my Note 3 is an awesome remedy for that situation since I will be able to play it while multitasking or if i'm out and about and bored!
[TouchPad General] bottad:
sound problems

I just leave it on auto normally. I tried picking different cycles just to see if there was one that worked well but nope. Though the sound comes out as less static now and more sounding like the old school pc speaker. The pc speaker is set to "false" in the dosbox settings.

Not sure where the problem lies. Going to try just reinstalling the game and see what happens.

I've played Stonekeep and sound has no issues, though it's not in the windows boot, just regular Dos.

I tried Arcanum (GoG version) but it crashes on startup, any advice for getting it working?

Thanks!
[TouchPad General] bottad:
Try this..

Reinstalling Fallout 2 didn't change anything. Even tried an unpatched and patched version.

I think the problem lies with the soundblaster emulation.

Roland, not sure if this would be a valid test but what happens on your Note 2 when you boot into windows, go to start menu and run the "dxdiag" tool, then go to sound tab and press the button to test the sound? When I try it on mine I just get a bunch of static and bad sound, similar as in the game itself.

hello, I'm trying to run this image with a Transformer Pad TF300T.

it's freezing after I get a popup about how the clock has changed because of daylight savings time, after the desktop wallpaper appears. any idea?

cheers
[TouchPad General] bottad:
This should have been fixed. I was having this problem and Roland fixed it. Have you downloaded the windows image he posted in the last few days?

Also, if you bring up the keyboard as soon as you're able and spam press the 'esc' key while it boots up. You'll need a keyboard with that key though. Hacker's keyboard is a good one.

Aaron
[TouchPad General] salaminizer:
ah, thanks. no, I downloaded it maybe two weeks ago and forgot to test it, looked around and couldn't find any related post.

I noticed right before I reopened this thread that I could spam the "esc" key :D anyway, I'll get the new image then, thanks.
[TouchPad General] RolandDeschain79:
Sound, Rooting, Gaming

Hey Aaron,

Running the dxdiag tool doesn't work properly in emulation and will cause crashing and errors. So no thats not a good way to test things. Also you can't compare dos and win9x emulation. It could be just a win9x issue or it could be the game setup, try different games with the same platform.

Have you tried using my fallout 2 custom configs? This might fix the sound issues since it forces SB16 compatibility for fallout 2. Compare your sound quality with the clips from the video. You'll have to test it with another win9x game like starcraft or AOE. Read the supported game list on the first page. Arcanum it too demanding for current hardware but it's possible to run if you modify the exe. When devices get a little faster I'll add notes about playing it.

Rooting will give you more control over Android but will void your new warranty and won't give you much of a performance increase. It's dangerous if you're not careful and rush through the instructions. If you find my instructions here difficult, then I would just leave it as it. Your device is plenty fast and a slight overclock isn't worth voiding your warranty. However it is nice to remove the bloatware that Samsung loads the phones with.

Let me know if the Fallout 2 configs help and try another game and see if your sound is ok. Have fun and thanks for answering the previous daylight saving times question.

Anyone getting the Daylight saving times crashes should redownload the newer images:)
[TouchPad General] bottad:
Hey Roland,

Yeah, I've tried your fallout 2 configs, I get the same sound issues. I was also able to get Diablo running but it has the same sound problems. Though I could never able to get into the game playing itself, it would always crash when I picked single player game. But when the intro starts it has the same sound problems.

Do you think it's an issue with the soundblaster emulation in windows? Also I've noticed it's fairly unstable on my Note 3, it crashes quite frequently and get the blue screen a lot. That may be normal though.

Thanks for the help again!

[TouchPad General] gene_wildhart:
Are you using DosBox Turbo v2.1.8? There were a few sound fixes that went into that version. If so, can you try going into the optimization settings and change it to "ARMv7 Only" and let me know if you still experience sound issues?

Thanks!
[TouchPad General] bottad:
Hey Gene,

I'm using v2.1.8 yes. I tried switching the optimization settings just now, tried Full, ARMv7 only and None. Still get same issue. Also tried turning on and off the Turbo options (Audio, Cycles and VGA).

Everything I've tried in the dosbox settings and fallout2.cfg has (regrettably) had no affect, I think I've tried turning on/off nearly every setting. Kind of stumped at this point. Need to get someone else with a Note 3 to try it out to see if they get the same result as me. Maybe it's something to do with Android 4.3.

Thanks for all the help!
