Tested Carmaggedon 2… same as previous 3d games… just too slow to play ( software or direct3d mode).

Im seeing a pattern here..I just give up on 3d games 😛

Tested Dark Forces 2 on win 95 on my s7 edge… too slow to play (5-8 fps ) but gog version works “out of the box”.

Edit: setting win 95 to 640×480 8 bit color and pumping mdb to 150000 cycles makes the game somewhat playable (in the 30s fps ) but turs the phone into a toaster.

Havent tried on pc version… according to dosbox wiki this can be done in SDL but it being disabled on android… I guess that we are stuck on the options that the game itself presents 😀

[sdl]
This section contains all of the low level system settings for how DOSBox interacts with your real hardware. You can define what resolutions are emulated, how DOSBox should treat errors or listen to your keyboard and mouse. You can often achieve a fair level of optimization by working with these setting, though for the most part leaving them at their default settings will create the best experience. These settings are passed on to the SDL Library which handles low level things like input and thread priority.
fullscreen = true | false
Start DOSBox directly in fullscreen.
Default is false.
fulldouble = true | false
Use double buffering in fullscreen. See [1]
Default is false.
fullresolution = width x height | original | desktop
Scale the application to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling (i.e. any output other than surface). Original is the game’s default or chosen (through setup.exe or in-game menu) resolution. If original resolution is less than desktop resolution, DOSBox will switch the screen resolution to the closest match requested by the game or application. For example, if a game in DOSBox is requesting a graphics screen resolution of (320 x 240) while your desktop is (1920 x 1200), DosBox will switch to (320×240) or the next highest resolution supported by your GPU drivers, e.g. (800 x 600) if the former is not available. Many games will be below the minimum resolution supported by modern video cards, so DOSBox will scale the game up to at least that minimum. Note: the scaler setting under [render] is also able to scale up the original resolution to some degree. Those changes are performed before any additional scaling done with fullresolution setting.
Default is original.
windowresolution = width x height | original | desktop
Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling (i.e. any output other than surface). Original is the game’s default or chosen (through setup.exe or in-game menu) resolution. Note: the scaler setting under [render] is also able to scale up the original resolution to some degree. Those changes are performed before any scaling done with windowresolution setting.
Default is original.
output = surface | overlay | opengl | openglnb | ddraw
What to use for output. Surface does not support scaling or aspect correction. More information here: [2]
Default is surface.
autolock = true | false
Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen.
Default is true.
sensitivity = 1..1000
Mouse sensitivity.
Default is 100.
waitonerror = true | false
Wait before closing the console if DOSBox has an error.
Default is true.
priority = when-focused,when-minimzed
Priority levels for DOSBox. Second entry behind the comma is for when DOSBox is not focused/minimized. Valid priorities are: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest, and pause.
Default is higher,normal.
mapperfile = path-to-mapper-file
File used to load/save the key/event mappings from.
Default is mapper-<version>.txt.
usescancodes = true | false
Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.
Default is true.

I was not looking for the filters 😛 I can run with 5xbr LW without much fps loss, HQ makes things a bit choppy. I was looking for ingame resolution:for example on build engine games on the setup I can choose VESA modes with svga 800×600 and up… and I was looking on how to force this via dosbox.

Filters do a great job anyways 😀

Tested Rainbow Six – Rogue Spear on Win 95… works but too much slow on my s7 edge ( Im talking about screen refresh every 5-6 seconds)

How do you config the widgets?… I dont even know how to tun the mech :p seems hard to play on touchscreen

edit: talking about Mw2… besides, what version is it worth to play in dosbox? original? 3dfx? titanium? 😛

edit 2: settled for MW2 mercenaries original DOS version; created a touchscreen profile using the game manual and It’s quite playable.
