Hello, I haven’t posted in a LONG time and haven’t really used MagicDOSBox in all that time, but after getting a new phone(Fold 4) and a controller that fits it wonderfully, I’ve come back to emulation with a vengeance. Got a few ideas for MagicDOSBox and just tossing these out there.
A few ideas:
New DOSBox cores. Numerous new DOSBox cores are being worked on lately such as DOSBox Pure and I was wondering if it would be possible to use them as they are loaded with new functionality and performance. https://github.com/schellingb/dosbox-pure
Global Control scheme. Basically, set a single control scheme outside of all the games where you only need to change it per game.
Ability to move the actual game screen. Since I use MagicDOSBox with my phone + controller, sometimes I would like to move the screen for numerous reasons and would like to do things like center it better.
Duplicate Config Configuration. When duplicating, can we have the option to immediately open the config of that new duplicated game to change it?
Just a few ideas, loving playing games on MagicDOSBox right now!
Hi, welcome back:)
Please what do you mean with:
“Ability to move the actual game screen”?
>Duplicate Config Configuration. … open the config of that new duplicated game to change it?
Yes, this is good idea“Global Control scheme” – this is problem, there is too much specific things related to profile. What exactly do you want to have stored globally?
Hi, welcome back:)

“Ability to move the actual game screen”?
– This one, some really old games will have a low resolution and on the large inner screen of a folding phone, it will sometimes use the top left of the screen, leaving a good chunk of the screen just a black bar. Can we move or center the screen of the game to place the screen where we want?
“Global Control scheme” – this is problem, there is too much specific things related to profile. What exactly do you want to have stored globally?
– This one would probably only be for the external controller/Voodoo Control. Essentially just create one main external controller scheme for everything(global control scheme) with the ability to change only the things you need in the game itself. Pretty much, for a vast majority of games, you would use a very similar control scheme.
Another few suggestions would be:
When creating a new profile, give us a button/checkbox that pastes the Folder name into the name of the profile.
When exporting a profile, automatically deselect the Expert Commands checkbox. I’ve done some exporting and this issue happened multiple times, where the Expert Commands would be selected from the previous profile and it would have all the info of the previous game and override all the other settings.
A key that when pressed, will swap one control scheme with another one. (May be in there, but not sure where.)
