Thank you for the reply, but that's exactly the problem: I need to set cycles=max or even max=105% for these games to run properly on my netbook (I'm using DOSBox mostly while travelling, and the other two notebooks are too heavy to carry around all the time). I have to set fixed cycles as low as …

Sound skipping during CD image video playback

Forgive me if this has been anwered before, but I've searched and found no answer to the issue: I've noticed that video playback from image files (both bin/cue and iso) causes sound skipping every few seconds, as long as I set cycles=max. I've tried several games, all with the same result: Wing …

And even though you might be able to start Half Life through Windows 95 in DOSBox Turbo, it would be completely unplayable. The most you'll get from DOSBox Turbo is ~Pentium 90 speed (e.g. on a Galaxy Note 2), which is already a miracle considering it's running on a phone. That's fine for Fallout or …

You can't use Windows mountings on Android device. "Mount c c:\" should be "mount c /sdcard" instead. And I highly recommend NOT to use your sd card's root directory btw. Create a folder called "DOSGames" on your sd card, and use "mount c /sdcard/dosgames".

Could be game related. "machine=hercules" works fine for me with Ultima 6 (apart from looking ugly). Have you tried different output methods? Like ddraw, opengl etc.?

Yep, my instructions were rather general because I don't own the game myself. That's why I said "do it like you would in Windows". It just seemed to me the OP had no idea at all how to operate DOSBox (@kakasuke: sorry if I was wrong btw ;-) ). Anyway, the author of DTurbo should be able to help if …

Come on, that's basic DOSBox knowledge. You run it exactly as you would do in the desktop version. 1. copy the game files to your phone, e.g. /sdcard/Games/LSL 2. open dosbox.conf (/sdcard) 3. set memsize=16 4. set cycles=max or whatever cycle speed you like; the S3 should be capable of 25000-30000 …

Try this: http://dualmonitortool.sourceforge.net/swapscreen.html Nifty little tool, works like a charm for me. Only thing to do is change the shortcut to something different than Ctrl+, else it'll interfere with DOSBox.

Uh, just a shot in the dark, but try this: Enter your BIOS and check for an AHCI-Controller option. Disable it, and your SATA harddisk will be treated as normal IDE. If this works, you can update your drivers in Windows afterwards or at least rescue all your data before wiping your system. This …

One thing beforehand: as a general rule, DO NOT mount c /sdcard/ ! This will give DOSBox access to your sd card's root drive, and that can turn out really bad . Open andosbox.conf and specify another directory (e.g. /sdcard/DOSGames/) Back to your problem: I've downloaded the demo for testing …

...maybe try aDOSBox. Runs like crap in comparison, but if the game starts, you'll at least know if the fault lies with AnDOSBox. Don't botherwith DOSBox Turbo (unless you don't care about spending more money), because it's based on AnDOSBox - although it's slightly faster by now - and will most …

Difficult... the Android ports aren't officially supported, so unless someone knows a solution by chance, you're most likely screwed. Edit the "andosbox.conf" (/sdcard/) and try different cpu cores and mem settings, but I can't guarantee this will help. Sorry. 😒

Hang on, cycles are not MHz (or kHz). It's not even linear, you can only guess how fast the emulated machine is. 60000 cycles are not 60 MHz, but at least equal to something like a 120 MHz Pentium. You don't need so much speed for Aladdin, set something around 12000 - 14000 cycles (~386/40 MHz), …

To be honest: forget it. Your phone's a Nokia 5130. Specs: CPU: ARM9 231 MHz (MUCH too slow) Display: 2 inch, 240 × 320 (MUCH too small) OS: Nokia S40v5 (wrong OS) So, even if there was a DOSBox port for S40 phones (which isn't), there'd be absolutely no chance of running anything on this hardware. …

You can get it from here: http://bit.ly/LBdwEc But honestly, DOSBox on an old Symbian phone is a PITA. More recent phones or tablets are alright, with a Galaxy S3 / HTC One X etc. you can even play Quake at reasonable frame rates. Anyway, I doubt it'll work at all. The only Nokia "Xpress Music" …

The save state feature is highly experimental. Quite useful, but completely unreliable. If you save/load several times in quick succession, your save state will become corrupted, no way to avoid it. :dead: I guess you corrupted your game by using save states, and the fault doesn't lie with either …
