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,
TonyThank 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
Hi, perfect.
Thank you very much, i’ll look forward to hearing from you, I am sure this helps to many people.

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,
TonyHello,
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,
TonyThe 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?
yes, but please send em an email.
If you start web browser. How do you navigate to previous web page?
How you increase/decrease volume? Do you have any buttons for this action?Do you have button what can show application menu? In smartwatch 2 it was the right button with dots
Edit : I just tried to handle home button, unfortunately it was not handled with magic dosbox. This buttons seems to be too much system based
Hmm that’s bad. We can try hook at this reboot button. Can you send me an email? I’ll prepare test version.
Hmm, I will search more info about the reboot button. Looks like deep system button, so I am not sure.
With back button I mean this:
If you check the video what I posted above, there is bottom status bar with onscreen buttons. One looks like triangle. If you press it then it returns you one step back. In our case it closes dialogs or opens general settings. It’s important button.The button what you describe is “Home button”.
Btw : I was able start smart watch emulator. The user interface has glitches, but overall look is usable.
In worst case I can add fixed button what will emulate back button.
Edit : Hmm I see that Sony Smartwatch 2 has this button
Please how you type text now? You use speech to text feature? Or do you have any kind of virtual keyboard (like this one : http://minuum.com/minuum-on-smartwatch/)?
