    The Nintenso NX will have some closed-source OS. But the Kirin score is really very good.

    Good choice. That should be fast enough to play even many Win95 games at decent speed.

    IIRC, the K1 Shield scores about 1000 realtics. Sometimes lower, sometimes higher, but pretty much close around 1000. Tony (dev) can clear this up, he owns a Shield.

    Tegra is certainly good. Kirin cpu’s also seem to be doing well. Personally, I can recommend the high-end Exynos chips from Samsung. You can use the Doom Shareware timedemo mentioned on the DTurbo site to get some good comparison scores. This benchmark is some kind of standard btw, not made up by the DTurbo guy, but discussed on the official Dosbox forums much earlier.

    Some of my own results (lower is better):

    The S7 Edge (Exynos 8890, 2,3 GHz): 670-850 (root + performance governor: 650)
    Galaxy Note (Snapdragon 805, 2,7 GHz): 2100-2400 (root + performance governor: 1400)
    Galaxy Note 2 (Exynos 4412, 1.6 GHz): 2000 (root + performance governor: 2000, no difference)
    Galaxy A5 2017 (Exynos 7870, 1,6 GHz): 2000

    As you can see, the Exynos chips always did very well for me. Plus the SD 805 overheated all the time, so I had to use a custom kernel and force it to run as dual core 2,7 / 1,2 GHz instead of 4x 2,7 GHz quad core, to keep performance at a somewhat steady level. And I asked a guy who owned a Snapdragon 820 Galaxy S7, and his scores were abysmal, too. That’s why I would never ever touch a Snapdragon again. Let alone it’s incompatibility with GLTools and Half-Life 2, which I can run flawlessly on my Exynos phone.

    tl;dr: get a high-end Exynos (88xx), Tegra, or Kirin chip. Don’t buy a Snapdragon. 🙂

    Run UINSTALL.EXE in the UW directory, and select Soundblaster Pro for both music and sound effects. ?

    Gog does weird stuff with its installations sometimes.
    Do the following: rename the file ‘game.gog” to “game.zip”, open it. Then extract the UW folder, and copy it to your phone.

    FYI, the free download from Bethesda should already be patched: https://elderscrolls.bethesda.net/en/daggerfall

    If it’s a regular DOS patch, you should be able to install it in Dosbox without problems.
    I don’t think this patch version is really important, though. I have it installed, and the patch notes only say:

    Patch Fixes, version 1.07.213
    =============================

    FIXED:
    * Fixmaps and Fixsave have been updated to work with any install size.
    Fixmaps will require that the file MAPS.BSA be installed on your
    hard drive as it is modified by the program. If this file is not
    found, you will be given the option to copy it over.

    Long press on the game you want to export, follow the onscreen instructions.
    The exported file is in /sdcard/MagicBox/Export
    It’s a simple zip file, btw.

    You can upload it to any cloud service you lile, e.g. Google Drive, and share the link.

    Very good! ?
    I’d vote for option #2, because it minimizes the hassle. #1 would require to set up every single combo widget, while in mapper options, you can simply keep adding keys.

    Sorry, that was a feature request for Tony, the developer. I realize it was a bit misleading.
    Atm, there is no widget that will turn the Voodoo mapper on/off, but it never hurts to ask. Most of this app’s features came to life by people asking for them. ?

    It’s exactly the same.
