In my case, all these files are in the same folder as the keeper02.ogg, keeper03.ogg etc sound files:

|-DKeeper (with keeper.exe, game.gog, keeper02.ogg, dosboxDK.conf, etc)
|–data
|–ldata
|–levels
|–SAVE
|–SOUND

…which means, the keeper.exe is missing. I suspect it’s also located in the /data folder.
Now this is getting rather complex, because your directory structure seems to be different from mine.

Two options:

1. Try this:

[autoexec]
mount c: /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1/data
imgmount d /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1/data/game.gog -t iso -fs iso
c:
keeper

2. or copy keeper.exe, dos4gw.exe, keeper.cfg, game.inst and game.gog to /DKeep1, and use this:

[autoexec]
mount c: /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1
imgmount d /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1/game.gog -t iso -fs iso
c:
keeper

[Al ex]

Not quite, but that doesn’t matter. Change the imgmount line to:
imgmount d /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1/data/game.gog -t iso -fs iso

[Al ex]

Right, we’re getting there. The image file must be placed inside your DKeep1 folder, and labelled game.gog. That’s the way the GOG installer copies it during install.

[Al ex]

Lol, this is getting more complicated than I’d thought. I hate it when apps try to be clever…?

Ok. Replace the [autoexec] section in your expert settings wih this one:

[autoexec]
@Echo Off
mount c: /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1
c:
imgmount d /storage/emulated/0/Dkeep1/game.gog -t iso -fs iso
keeper

The file behind my link is a very basic .mgc file that you can import into MagicDosbox (tap the orange + symbol, then “Import profile”.
I’ve set the mountings so they (should) match your game folder.

Try this file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jv1ngh8qb4c8lq5/Dungeon_Keeper_Gold.mgc

[Al ex]

That’s because your mountings aren’t correct. In which folder have you stored the game on your sd card?
For example: on my phone, it’s “DOSGames/DKeeper” on the internal sd card.
Don’t worry, we’ll get this sorted out. ?

[Al ex]

Ah, sorry for the confusion. I’m using Roland MT32 midi, which requires MT32 ROM files, which I can’t post here for legal reasons.
If your game is set up to use Soundblaster music, you don’t have to change anything, just ignore this. ?

[Al ex]

OK. So, the GOG version has a litlle quirk. It comes completely preinstalled, and bundled with DOSBox. The problem is, that it’s installed to a virtual C root drive, and has issues with CD detection. It needs a “-t iso -fs iso” extension, and everything must be in the correct folder. DKeeper’s own config.cfg file can be edited, but at least in my case, this messed things up even more.

My workaround is to activate expert settings. Mind that I’ve set an MT32 ROM path and my own path settings under [autoexec], which you’ll need to adjust. Your S6 doesn’t have an external sd, so the basic mounting (storage/emulated/0/) should be correct. Simply copy & paste the following into your expert settings, overwriting everything that’s in there, adjust the mountings, and tick the check box “expert settings”:

Could be bad mountings or an install error. I’m assuming you’re using your own ISO file, created from your own physical copy of the game…? Because downloaded stuff is broken quite often, and causes a whole lot of issues. If you want to make sure: the GOG version of Dungeon Keeper Gold (5.59 €/$) is running fine. I’m running the DOS version, with Alt+R ingame to switch to SVGA resolution.

Are you using expert settings? If so, could you please post the whole contents of your config?
If not, could you upload your Dungeon Keeper .mgc file somewher (Long press game icon -> Export, file is stored in /sdcard/MagicBox/Exports) and post the link here?

[Al ex]

That’s what I was thinking of. It would be a PITA to create all these widgets, though. But you’re right, I take back the “impossible”, and replace it with “horribly tedious”. Not a fault in mDosbox, but the game’s UI is… challenging. ?

[Al ex]

Oh well, right. I see your point. It’s impossible to cover that with custom widgets. ?

[Al ex]

?

[Al ex]

What games in particular are you talking about? Maybe there’s a workaround for your issue. If there aren’t too many buttons, you can e.g. create widgets that are thicker and easier to tap.
