Have you requested the sd card permission from global settings? The game seems to be unable to write to the file system.

It should run fine out of the box, without even using expert commands. Have you tried to copy the working game files to your phone?

You have to mount both C and D drive iso images with the imgmount command. My autoexec section looks like this (Win95 on a 512 MB image, Diablo and MM6 on a 2 GB image, both on external sd card):

imgmount c /storage/0000-0000/Games/PC/Win95/c.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,32,520
imgmount d /storage/0000-0000/Games/PC/Win95/2GB_MM6_Diablo.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,64,1023
boot -l c

Just copy/pasting my answer from YT 😇:
If you are keeping the iso image on an external sd card, make sure you have requested the sd access permission from within Magic Dosbox’s global settings menu.

Dang, sorry for missing your post, I hadn’t checked the notify box.
Tbh, I was just assuming the GoG version would work in Dosbox. I only have an iso version, ripped from my own CD-ROM. Guess I should edit my initial post. 🤔

You can post your mounting commands here, so we can check. And what size is your C drive image?

I also only just realized that you are trying to mount a local directory as drive D in Win95. That won’t work, because Win95 requires you to only use iso images. It’s really annoying and rather tricky, but it’s the only way to get Win95 up and running in Dosbox.

Depends on the size of your disk images.
If you need some examples, I’ve already posted a bunch of empty hdd images with according parameters included in this thread: https://magicbox.imejl.sk/forums/topic/windows-95/page/2/#post-7967

I don’t have the game, so I can’t test, but does it work on Windows/Linux Dosbox on a PC?

I’ve uploaded the file to my Google Drive account, try this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UjNa6qPx2DdlsBZ6tMKxesmvs4XU8Vcu/view?usp=sharing

You mean the download from the original post? I just tried, and I’m getting the .mgc file via a Mediafire link. 🤔

[Al ex]

Sorry, don’t have it either. I thought I had, but it’s not on my phone or in my Onedrive. 😥

[Al ex]

Great, have fun! I don’t know how many times I’ve played RoA 2 & 3, I’m loving both games.

[Al ex]

I’m tempted to buy the game on GoG just to test it out.

[Al ex]

I’m using the original CD version. But you should be able to mount the .gog file just like any other iso image, that works for me in other games, too.
Maybe “-t iso -fs iso” instead of the “-t cdrom” switch will work.

The download link is still working, http://www.mediafire.com/download/suf3k0b7zq57zpu/Layout_Riva.mgc

But it should be fairly straightforward, the mounting command for the iso on my phone is this:
imgmount d /storage/0000-0000/iso/dsa3.cue -t cdrom

Simply replace the “/storage/0000-0000/iso” part with the correct path configuration on your device, and it should work. IIRC , you do have to add the -t cdrom switch at the end to make it work, so that might already solve your issue.

Here are my results (Galaxy S9+, Android 10, no modifications):
SAF Create 65,7
SAF Open 12,2
SAF Delete 31,8
C++ Create 0,8
C++ Open 0,2
C++ Delete 0,4

I ran each test 10x, then calculated the average in an Excel spreadsheet. The SAF results were also extremely inconsistent (from 56 to 88, even after I had deleted one 126ms result as random spike). I’ll send you those results via email.
