Somewhere on dosbox-x website i found that there exists way how to install mouse driver which can work like dos driver and then is possible to get absolute mouse work, but I did not search for it deeper
Hi,
This seems to be similar to daggerfall. In daggerfall it was possible to do, because it supports absolute mouse. This is problem in win95. With absolute mouse you can define start and end of mouse dragging. This is not possible if game does not support absolute mouse. What you can do is put over self two widgets, key widget on top and mouse widget below. Key widget will be “non blocking”. Mouse widget will be “click”. This way you trigger both widgets at once and you can swing with relative mouse to do attack.
Yes. However, people will still need dos knowledge. The biggest difference between f.e ps1 emulator and dosbox is the need of setup. Problem what I face in emails is setup, in 90% sound setup. This is automatic in ps1 emulator, because is always same, in ms-dos games it must be done manually, because is different game by game.
Hi,
It is nice feature. I can check the patch. But if it will not be easy then I mustnskip it for now. I work on public storage optimizations due google’s restrictions for android 11+ devices.
To reduce speed change performance (in game profile) to custom. Start game and tune cycles/power from general settings.
Other way is manual setup “expert settings”. You must be familiar with manual dosbox config. Here you can set
cycles=3000 or cycles=auto
Just play with values
https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Dosbox.conf
If game runs slow it may be because you set wrong cycles, wrong sound card, but probably you need set correct cycles value
Just tried pickle wars. After I set sound blaster with 220/5/1 it works fine. I am in level 1 screen
In main menu us “backup”. It creates zip, copy it to other phone, unzip
Set drive c, like is in new profile
I dont understand what is “root/phone”? Can you make screenshot please? This sounds suspicious.
Yes, all your profiles are usable on other phone. That’s why was made that special prefix <games> – you only change location based on your phone.
Okay, maybe I understand. So new profiles shows it correctly, but existing do problem, right? Were these existing profile made with old version of mdosbox? What is set in “drive c”? It is not seen on screenshot.
I see there potential bug. You set drive c, but further, path in “main program” does not exists under current context of “drive c” and I incorrectly show content. But I am now on vaccation I cant check sources. Tomorrow I will be by pc. Can it be this situation?
Please make screenshot from global settings. I need to see paths.
Then open game profile and make screenshot from profile, i need to see paths. (Or export whole game profile and share it)
If have problems share it here, you can send it on my email. magicbox@imejl.sk
Hi,
.MagicBox folder contains game profiles. Inside is folder Games. Inside are data for profiles. I unluckly named this folder as “Games” but it should be “Profiles”.
I recommend this:
Create folder Games in root of storage and copy your dos games here.
Then run survey again (welcome screen). Grant permissions on folder “Games”, on next screen grant permissions on .MagicBox
Press next several times to main menu.
Open game profile and update “drive c:”. It automatically sets <games>. The same should be done with CD paths.
It is because since v85 we must agree with google’s restrictions, which blocks access to storage and we must work in sandbox, in other words, if you write something like /storage/emulated/0/Games then Magic Dosbox does not know it anymore, because restrictions block it. Google blocks further development without this. All applications will disappear from store if they dont agree. There was no other choice. The only thing what we can do is to make porting more user friendly, any ideas are welcome
Other way is copy games to private folder. You can use total commander to copy games there (/android/data/bruenor.magicbox/files). In this location MagicDosbox knows absolute paths. You can use there <games> prefix too. It is much more comfortable then writing long path
I must implement my own file browser to copy games there, to get rid off external file browser
I tryid M.A.X mexhanized assault. Absolute mouse works without issues, no additional setup is needed, it does not work for you?
