Hello,

I downloaded the game and tried. Yes absolute mouse works, but after several click starts to be a bit desynchronised. Place “Special” widget on the screen and configure it to “Mouse reset”. This gets it back. But I can’t simulate exiting to dos command line. Can you help me?

Best regards,
Tony

Hello,

thank you very much for question. Unfortunately, absolute mouse may and may not work for MS-DOS game. Problem is that games can change mouse position to custom location and may not report this change to ms-dos. In this case cursor gets desynchronised for absolute mouse. It’s because dosbox only guess where cursor currently is. If game reports this change or does not manipulate with cursor at own then absolute mouse works fine.

In many cases you can fix desynchronisation with “Special” widget set to “Mouse reset”.

Diablo 1 has similar problem and one guy Alex did nasty hack for that. He closes inventory with “Deadly strike” (macro) widget. This macro has 3 actions :

1. Key action set to letter “esc”
2. small delay (90ms)
3. mouse reset

He made similar macros for various actions like close invertory, close menu, …and mouse is in good state for major part of time.

Please can you post name of this game? I will check it.

Best regards,
Tony

Hello,

no it’s not possible, but good idea, last year I received many good ideas and will implement them this year. But first I want all ui patches. I want make application control-able with gamepad as much as possible.

Best regards,

thank you

Thank you. No, this is not possible, because Magic Dosbox requires many settings for startup. These settings are stored in directory with name of this ID. Game itself is located elsewhere and can be added to magic dosbox collection multiple times (from various reasons – like Doom server, Doom client).

Good to hear about this update

Hello,

I am not exactly sure, because I don’t own this application.

Any launcher (in my case nova launcher or apex) can start MS-DOS game/application added in Magic Dosbox collection. When mDosbox starts then reads value of intent with code “intent_msg1”. If value of this intent is not null or not empty then mDosbox looks for game with this ID in collection.xml and starts it (if is founded). Else starts home screen with all games in collection.

Here is how mDosbox reads value of the intent at start.
gameID = getIntent().getStringExtra(“intent_msg1”);

Maybe you can send information written above to author of ARC Browser. This information should be enough for him to help you. Or maybe he needs some specific information what you need to ask me.

Edit : Please let me know if I have to implement something

Best regards,
Tony

Hello,

thank you very much 🙂

I never tried ARC browser but looks very interesting, I’ll check it deeper.

Magic Dosbox is based on two activities. First Activity starts Home screen with collection. If you pick game then is started another activity, but only first is important for you

android:name=”bruenor.magicbox.uiGameStarterActivity”

With Magic dosbox you can create game shortcuts to launcher (long tap on game in collection). Simply said you can start game directly from launcher.

Shortcut starts activity with parameter :

code : intent_msg1
value : ID of game in collection. It’s written in collection.xml (in MagicBox folder on your device).

Best regards,
Tony

The final solution was create design on phone/tablet, export it and import on sony smartwatch. Because 1.6″ display is too small for designing.

Ok I found this

“Though you’ll be doing most of your navigation via the watch’s touchscreen display, the SmartWatch 3 does have a physical button on the side for when you need to quickly wake it up (or put it back to sleep). You can also hold it down as a shortcut to the Settings menu”

Please can you confirm it? What setting is calls? It’s the magic dosbox menu?
