Second, for a game like Master of Orion, I would suggest setting your "Mouse Tracking" option to "Absolute (experimental)".

This will allow your screen resolution to scale up to the full screen size of your Android device. Each game configuration could be different, but there are at least 2 or 3 steps that will always need to be updated.įirst, scroll down in the configuration and enable "Screen Scaling". Click and hold down on the new configuration file, and when prompted select "Edit Configuration". This is by far the most complicated step. When prompted, select "Copy Profile" and enter the new name of your game in my example this would be "Master of Orion". Once your games are copied over, launch DosBox Manager so that you can create profiles for your games.Ĭopy the "Default" DosBox configuration by clicking and holding down on the icon. If you are using DosBox Manager, then you will never have to launch the DosBox Turbo application directly. Here is an example of where I installed Master of Orion on my computer, and which folders I copied to my ASUS Transformer tablet. Note: You do not have to copy the DOSBox folder. Not all GOG games use DOSBox, thus not all GOG games will run on Android here is a list of games GOG games that use DOSBox.Ĭonnect your android device to your computer, create a DOS folder at the root of your storage, and then copy your GOG games to there.

Purchase, download, and install your desired GOG games onto your computer. Simply install the two applications, DosBox Turbo amd DosBox Manager, from the Google Play store. This is extremely useful and I strongly suggest that you get it, especially because (as mentioned before) it is free!

It is feature rich, stable, and fast.Īdditionally there is a free app called DosBox Manager that helps manage your DosBox configuration profiles for game or program that you wish to run. It costs approximately $3 dollars, but I assure you that it is worth every penny. There are three DOS emulators available on Android, the best of which (by far) is DosBox Turbo. Also, this allows users to run those same games on any platform that has a port of DOSBox available! This is great because GOG can offer the original game experience without having to modify any of the game files or their content. For those of you not familiar with DOSBox, it is the leading open source DOS emulator. Many of the old DOS games that GOG sells come preconfigured to run DOSBox behind the scenes. Not only do they have a great selection of retro and modern games, but best of all they are provided DRM free.
I also tried to copy the files from some games I bought on GOG and had no issues at all, but I do not remember for sure now what games I tested with.If you like classic games, then GOG is the online game retailer for you. A few minutes to set up properly for each game, but well worth it. No need to launch into a DOS shell if you configure autoexec properly to just start the game immediately, for each configuration. Install Dosbox Turbo Manager as well (I believe it is free?) to get a sane way to have different settings for different games and an easy way to launch them. Playing a game that only requires mouse control works better, or if there are only a few keys needed so you can configure them as on-screen buttons.
Keyboard works best in portait mode, so the DOS screen becomes very small.
Set the mouse emulation to relative and it works great to play Panzer General for instance. Note that I have mostly tried it on (turn-based) strategy games though. But to answer the question, YES, I believe that Dosbox Turbo is a good solution.
Maybe that one is for some reason much better. I bought Dosbox Turbo years ago and have not tried any other Android Dosbox, so I can not compare it to for instance MagicDosbox that /u/wa59_mx mentioned.
