It’s just trial and error. DOS games handled mouse implementation in many different ways, and Win95 didn’t really improve things, either. That’s why there are all these weird options in the advanced settings tab. 😉
There was a tool called Gestureworks Gameplay on Steam, which did kind of the same as Magic Dosbox (custom touchscreen controls), albeit much less sophisticated. It’s been discontinued though, and I don’t know if it’s still available at all.
I used it to play Oblivion on a Windows tablet some 10 years ago, but it was very buggy, with Windows randomly blocking inputs and hiding the overlay. That’s probably part of the reason why it’s so difficult to port Magic Dosbox over to Windows (?), as it’s a much more unpredictable and finicky OS.Dual boot is a pain in the ass, tbh. You either split your SSD, sacrificing precious storage, or you install it to an SD card, which is plain terrible performance-wise.
I’ve stopped using Windows completely, because SteamOS just runs everything fine, including ReShade along with my games.Magic Dosbox on Steam Deck? Neat idea, I would love to see that. 😉
But the way I understand it, it’s next to impossible to have the same kind of overlay control scheme in Windows, let alone in SD’s Linux environment.
I haven’t used Dosbox at all on my my Deck so far, but I guess you could create some very cool layouts with the built-in controller config tool. And maybe it’s possible to add single DOS games as non-Steam game to the library via Steam ROM Manager, so your can bind individual controller layouts to them?I strongly advise against posting your email address openly here, to prevent abuse.
You should send a message to magicbox(at)imejl.sk instead. 🙂Lol, same. First thing I did when I got my Galaxy watch was install Magic Dosbox, and run Fate of Atlantis. Useless, but the tinkering was fun. 😉
Magic Dosbox is pretty much the only emulator in the world that allows any game to be played properly on a touch screen. It’s hands down my favorite Android app. 👍Lol, same.

Just got my Steam Deck last week, and it’s amazing! Not suitable for casual smartphone users, but for serious PC gamers, it’s a revelation. 😀
Have you tried clearing the app cache? Or, if that doesn’t work, also clear app data (or uninstall+reinstall)? Make sure to backup everything before you try that though, you never know what Android will decide to delete from your file system.
God,i wish Google would stop to fix what ain’t broken. 🤬You mean Magic the Gathering? That’s a Windows game, so it’s obviously not supported in Dosbox. 😉
You might be able to run it in Win95/Win98 though. The setup process is pretty complicated, but there’s a tutorial video here on the website. 🙂Seems to indicate that something’s wrong with your game installation in Dosbox. Daggerfall can be quite a pain in the ass to setup.
There are detailed setup instructions on the official download page, and you need to follow them to the letter.
