Fantastic list, kudos for that.?
Small addition regarding C64:
The most recent version of VICE is v3.0. But in mDosbox, 3.0, 2.4 and 2.3 are broken or running badly. v2.2 is the best here, it’s running 100% stable in mDosbox.

[Al ex]

Thanks.?
That font is from Planescape Torment. I really like it, and will probably use it for my Ultima layouts, too.

[Al ex]

Not a Dosbox problem. At least not Magic Dosbox. The mouse works just fine, even if I restart the game several times.
Strange, but this seems to be related to the game version somehow.

[Al ex]

Standard Dosbox answer: don’t use pirated versions of the game. Most rips are woefully broken. ?
You can get an official version over at GOG.com for 5,59 EUR.

I can confirm that Jagged Alliance is working 100% without any tweaks in Magic Dosbox. The mouse cursor is visible, both relative and absolute mnouse emulation modes are working flawlessly. All you need to do is add a new game profile, select JA.EXE as “Main Program”, SETSOUND.EXE as “Setup”, configure sound (SB 16 for Midi and Digital), then run the game. ?

Best of luck. ?

Basically, the expert settings in Magic Dosbox are the same as the normal Dosbox .conf file every Windows/Linux user has to fiddle with. Magic Dosbox makes it a lot easier to set up most games with its UI optioms. DKeeper was only a very weird and special case.

So as a general piece of advice, I’d suggest you read the readme that comes with the Windows version of Dosbox.

In my case, all these files are in the same folder as the keeper02.ogg, keeper03.ogg etc sound files:

|-DKeeper (with keeper.exe, game.gog, keeper02.ogg, dosboxDK.conf, etc)
|–data
|–ldata
|–levels
|–SAVE
|–SOUND

[Al ex]

…which means, the keeper.exe is missing. I suspect it’s also located in the /data folder.
Now this is getting rather complex, because your directory structure seems to be different from mine.

Two options:

1. Try this:

[autoexec]
mount c: /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1/data
imgmount d /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1/data/game.gog -t iso -fs iso
c:
keeper

2. or copy keeper.exe, dos4gw.exe, keeper.cfg, game.inst and game.gog to /DKeep1, and use this:

[autoexec]
mount c: /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1
imgmount d /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1/game.gog -t iso -fs iso
c:
keeper

[Al ex]

Not quite, but that doesn’t matter. Change the imgmount line to:
imgmount d /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1/data/game.gog -t iso -fs iso

[Al ex]

Right, we’re getting there. The image file must be placed inside your DKeep1 folder, and labelled game.gog. That’s the way the GOG installer copies it during install.

[Al ex]

Lol, this is getting more complicated than I’d thought. I hate it when apps try to be clever…?

Ok. Replace the [autoexec] section in your expert settings wih this one:

[autoexec]
@Echo Off
mount c: /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1
c:
imgmount d /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1/game.gog -t iso -fs iso
keeper

The file behind my link is a very basic .mgc file that you can import into MagicDosbox (tap the orange + symbol, then “Import profile”.
I’ve set the mountings so they (should) match your game folder.

[Al ex]

Try this file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jv1ngh8qb4c8lq5/Dungeon_Keeper_Gold.mgc

[Al ex]

That’s because your mountings aren’t correct. In which folder have you stored the game on your sd card?
For example: on my phone, it’s “DOSGames/DKeeper” on the internal sd card.
Don’t worry, we’ll get this sorted out. ?

[Al ex]

Ah, sorry for the confusion. I’m using Roland MT32 midi, which requires MT32 ROM files, which I can’t post here for legal reasons.
If your game is set up to use Soundblaster music, you don’t have to change anything, just ignore this. ?

[Al ex]

OK. So, the GOG version has a litlle quirk. It comes completely preinstalled, and bundled with DOSBox. The problem is, that it’s installed to a virtual C root drive, and has issues with CD detection. It needs a “-t iso -fs iso” extension, and everything must be in the correct folder. DKeeper’s own config.cfg file can be edited, but at least in my case, this messed things up even more.

My workaround is to activate expert settings. Mind that I’ve set an MT32 ROM path and my own path settings under [autoexec], which you’ll need to adjust. Your S6 doesn’t have an external sd, so the basic mounting (storage/emulated/0/) should be correct. Simply copy & paste the following into your expert settings, overwriting everything that’s in there, adjust the mountings, and tick the check box “expert settings”:
