Hm, strange. On my pbone, the shortcuts survive a reboot (rooted S7 Edge, 6.0.1). I:m using Nova Launcher, though, I’ve deleted the Toucbwiz launcher.
Maybe something broke when your phone crashed? Have you tried to clear the cache of Magic Dosbox and your launcher?Al exKeymasterAl exKeymasterIn the key widgets’ settings, uncheck “Activate on tap only”, then you can slide from one key to another. Works on my phone.
Al exKeymasterHi, and welcome.
My .mgc file is set up with expert settings enabled. You have two possibilites:
1. edit expert settings, and setup the path under [autoexec], so it points to your game directory
2. untick expert settings, and setup the game path in Magic Dosbox’s UI.No. 2 is probably the easier way, no. 1 is a bit more optimized for performance, because I tweaked some settings there.
Just try it out. If it doesn’t work, we’ll troubleshoot more deeply.
Al exKeymasterAh, wait. Stupid question, but I’ve made the same mistake just now while trying again: Have you enabled Voodoo mapper inside Voodoo Control settings? Because if I don’t, only my left joystick is working.
Al exKeymasterMh, should be pretty straightforward. At least it is on my device. I’m using an ipega 9025, connected via bluetooth without any additional stuff.
In Voodoo Control settings, I can assign each control optioms to every joystick on my gamepad (1 dpad and 2 analog sticks).
I can even map “2axis” to both my left and right analog stick at the same time. Which doesn’t make any sense, because they interfere with each other. But still, it’s perfectly possible.What joypad are you using? And what ecactly do you want to map?
Al exKeymasterYou’re welcome. And thanks for the flowers. 🙂
Al exKeymasterYes, I’m using the Gog version. Should work fine. In my profile, Expert settings are activated. So either check the mountings there, or make sure to deactivate them.
If that doesn’t work, tell me where you’ve stored the game, and maybe post your expert settings here.Al exKeymasterThese images are heavily modified, a bit crash-prone, and the desktops are ugly, but you can reset most to default, and they should work out of the box. I’d suggest Version 3 (Windows 95), because it works best. If you need Win98, download Version 2 (with ISO support); if it’s too unstable, simply don’t run Daemon Tools after boot, so no need for the further stripped down Version 1.
Al exKeymasterGlad you got it up and running! You know, you want to smash your phone against the wall sometimes during the process, but the moment when it’s finally working – that’s really satisfying, isn’t it!?
??Al exKeymasterRemove these two lines:
mount c: /mnt/sdcard/
c:(under “@Echo Off”). That’s where you mount your C drive for the first (superfluous) time.
Al exKeymasterYou mounted drive C twice. At least that’s what it says. But apart from that, you seem to be pretty close. ?
Al exKeymasterDude, your Windows 95 installation is broken. This has nothing to do with Dosbox, and you’ll have to dig a bit deper to get things running, I fear.
OK, try this:
1. Use a Windows/Linux PC to set this all up first, because it’S much easier to handle! Once you got it running, copy the files to your phone/tablet.
2. Visit Roland Deschain’s xda-site
3. Download one of the 3 versions; to start with, I’d suggest version 3.0 (Win95-based); click on the sentence “2)c] Version 3.0 runs slightly faster since its based on win95 but only has DX8.0 support and therefore doesn’t run as many games as V1.0.
Use this version to play games on a slower device that don’t require DX9C support.”4. scroll down the page a bit further, and you’ll see the correct mountings for the hdd images. As you can see, I’m using the 512 MB setting for my C drive (Win95 installation only), and the 2GB settings for my D drive (ISO images and game installation folder.
5. Download this file, and unzip either the 1GB or 2GB hdd image. Be warned that although the download is very small (500 kb), it’s only because these images are empty. When you unzip the 2GB image, it will be 2GB in size!
The reason why I’m using a seperate D drive is, that I can copy/install ISO files/games to multiple D drive images, and exchange them.
Good luck! 🙂
Al exKeymasterTry this: http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/1347/
Should be the right one. Or use the Roland Deschain image, that one’s already configured.Al exKeymasterSet your graphics adapter to “S3 Inc. Trio 32/64 PCI”. That’s the one that’s being emulated by Dosbox, and it supports up to 8 MB of VRAM.
You probably need the drivers, you can either find them on your Win95 cd, or in the Win95 thread on the official Dosbox forums. Or simply google “S3 Inc. Trio 32/64 PCI windows 95 driver”. ?Put them somewhere in your image file where you can find them. I’d suggest UltraISO for editing .img-files, you can do all you need with the unregistered free version.
And check your mounting commands. Take a look at Roland Deschains guide on xda-developers, he’s also offering pre-configured images (Win95 & Win98lite).
It’s a Dosbox Turbo thread, but DTurbo is buggy as hell, and these images also work with MagicDosbox. ?
