Hi Ales, yes this is great idea, I can implement it next week 🙂 Thanks

Edit : And various new options will be added in one of next updates to game profile, will be added “advanced” option to “Simple” and “Expert” options.

Hi,

thank you very much. I am not sure what you mean exactly. There are two things what you may need.

1. https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/KEYB
Unfortunately, this is not extended to UI, but can be set in expert settings. Good way is setup game in UI and then on right side to Main Program is button what generates config to clipboard. Then you can replace expert settings with clipboard content and modify it.

2. Visual look for magic dosbox inbuilt keyboard. By default it has English layout. And only other supported look i russian. It is hardcoded, but in of next updates it will be rewritten and will support other looks.

Keyboard functionality is result of both points. Dosbox must be set to correct keyboard and visual look must support selected language.

Hi,

Ok hard to say now. I must try it. But, maybe you can try switch to second core “SVN”. Is result the same?

[admin]

In previous posts you can read what all magic dosbox offers and how to get all information you need from MagicBox folder. But I am not experienced with hyperspin, maybe author if hyperspin can help you better…

Hello,

I just played with this game settings. You are right, game is heavy on emulation. I own Honor 5c and at default settings it was very choppy. Honor 5c has better processor for emulators, nothing awesome, but good. First I only lowered game details, but it was not enough. Then I disabled sound and it was better. Here is what you can try :

1. in setsound disable midi and sound.
2. disable sound blaster in game profile
3. set custom performance instead automatic

Now start game and in general settings pick option “cycles/power”. Increase cycles to 40 000 or so. Try tune cycles. Then you can try enable sound (I recommend Change sound blaster 16 to Sound Blaster 2 in game profile + set frequency to 16000)

I checked your phone and it seems to be slow for emulation. If I can recommend, search for phone without snapdragon processor. Snapdragon cpus are not recommended for any kind of emulator. Good is shield tablet, or my brother now bought Honor 8 and it provides very good performance (twice better then my Honor 5c).

Try setup everything without expert settings, these options are more optimized. Or if you want use expert settings then I recommend press button “Get” on right side of main program. It generates dosbox config to clipboard and you can paste it to expert settings

Best regards,
Tony

Hi Bryan,

I quickly searched web and I found this thread :

https://www.gog.com/forum/general_archive/gates_of_skeldal_brany_skeldalu

Seems english patch can be downloaded here:
http://skeldal.vyletnici.net/main.php?page=download&file=skeldal-en.zip

But I did not try it. Hope it will work.

1035? Hah..this is faster then my tablet:)

Yes, I can add manual input. But no to the next version, because v50 is in latest phase of development and this release overloads me too much 🙂

[admin]

Thank you Alex, for help on this forum. Your knowledge is much better in this case then mine:)

Yes, exagear emulates win9.x in many cases faster and in many cases buggy. But with strong devices this limitation slowly fades. Fortunately games like diablo 1, starcraft 1, Fallout 2, Jazzjack rabbit 2 and many other works well and you can enjoy all mDosbox features 🙂

Hi,

Good is that Ultima 7 works well in Magic Dosbox (tested with gog version). Now is question why wont work your version. One trouble may be that files became corrupted during transfer to android device. It happen often, because android’s MTP is crap. If you upload ultima 7 from pc then press “remove device” before disconnect. This is on windows. On ubuntu is similar function if you right click on mounted device.

it help?

Best regards,
Tony

Hi, thanks for contacting us. Please can you write steps how you try setup buttons? What is your controller for?

Can you try these simple steps for test ?

At beginning…are you sure that your controller is connected?

1. Create new game profile.
2. Start to black console.
3. Open voodoo control.
4. Click “Enabled”
5. Click “Gamepad buttons”
6. Press ‘+’
7. Press button L1, X, A, or B (no L2 or r2)
8 confirm
9. Click on added button and from option pick “Key” and pick key A
10 confirm
11 confirm
12. pressed picked button writes letter A, correct?

And it helped?

Yes, this is the best way. If you need change text size then add simple html tags. In one of next updates I’ll add pinch to zoom, but now are html tags best way for controlling text size

Hi, don’t use gravis for fallout 1, because is slow (for fallout 2).

In Fallout installation folder should be setup.exe or install.exe file. This file setups sound card. You should use sound blaster 16 in magic dosbox game profile and in game setup

Hi,

maybe it sounds weird, but swipes works really well. I finished C&C, Red Alert and Dune 2 in combination swipes + screen scrolling.

And I played couple of games with swipes. For example Alex uses swipes for showing/hiding UI.

Here is example

Win95 will work, but I am not sure how fast…Download Fallout 2 mgc file from sharing section. Expert settings have optimized configuration for win95.

Hi,

try this layout

I configured swipes to screen scroll and double tap to zoom.

But swipes works slightly differently then you know it from android. You must swing quickly over screen to the side. I configured swipes to keys. Now they fire key up,down,left and right. Each swipe direction has enabled “Do key up on next touch”. This means : swing does key down and screen scrolls. Next touch stops screen scrolling. It may need some practice. You can disable “Do key up on next touch” and then it does short scroll.

I use virtual dpad for scrolling, but now I got another idea. I must test it first.

EDIT: Ha, it works! This is first time what I tried it, but seems works. I must check one thing tomorrow, because I think it should work somehow better, but it works. Try this

Alex, if you read it then here is answer for something what you requested years ago 🙂

Some time ago was added feature what allows swipes run deadly strike. This makes possible short scrolling. I setup deadly strike this way :

1. action key arrow down
2. rest 600ms
3. action key arrow up

I think the same will work for mouse movement and nicely allows short screen scroll.
