Dont download with modern phone, message appears and states when you install saying that the software is designed for older android. I cant find any directory even though the file is there, can not mount c drive, was unusable for S10 plus anyway. Its complicated to use anyway by the looks, I downloaded a free dos emulator from another developer and works perfect very simple. I suggest to people find another app

Unlike DosBox Turbo, this DOS emulator managed to emulate a CD-ROM very well, so that I could run my favourite program, which needs to be fueled from CD. This gladdened me immensely. However, my air mouse doesn't work that well, and I couldn't get Win3.1 to run properly, which was easy in Turbo. (Probably I need to set some parameters correctly, which takes time to figure out.) So I have decided to use both emulators for different purposes.

Lacking features and compat of dosbox turbo. Some imes are blocked to make them more money as well. **Edit: The developer decided to call me a liar. I'm not purchasing anything else from them either, because customer relations matter.

This DosBox program is easy to use. The old action platformers by Apogee play great with the optional GameKeyboard. The only thing lacking is a front-end game manager to keep individual settings for each game. Keep up the good work, Locnet!

I'm trying to play a game that uses the mouse and arrow keys on my tablet. Chose this app because it seems to have best soft mouse options. Little did I know how hard it would be to set up simple arrow keys. Ended up using gamepad beta; inexplicably, the d-pad does not work, but the buttons remapped to the d-pad keys do. Have to set it to be the default keyboard every time. and my control settings get reset every time too! Would have gotten a refund but fiddling w/settings took longer than 15 mins.

You have deleted my comment how does that work. Unless you can fix the screen size problem i would like my money back thanks. Don't blame samsung for your programming.

Would like a manager so can run multiple profiles. Or add profiles to desk top shortcuts. Runs visio 4 and ms office which DB turbo fails so happy.

Works, but hardware keyboard/trackpad functionality not as good as with DosBox Turbo.

Great app, I am a huge retro game fan, but I must say that, for me at least, DosBox Turbo is the better choice, lag was much worse with this emulator compared with DosBox Turbo while playing Master of Orion II (on Droid X).

Was worth upgrading my firmware for

Well it took me 3 days, but I managed to get Microsoft Windows to run on my ASUS Android tablet. I tried 'aDosbox' by Hystudio. I choose AnDOSbox mainly because the mouse just works much better. Of course other feature that just arn't in 'aDosbox' Remember, ALL emulators have some kind of technical issues. That's part of the fun! 4 Stars because there's plenty of room for improvements. -Scott

When I first downloaded the app I had a lot of problems With sound. After I did some dinkin around and device reset A lot of the problems seem to correct themselves. I still have sound issues with Fallout but not a lot of the other games. My original rating was a 3 star but due to the fact that Most of it was not the programs fault but My own I have upgraded it to a 5 star. I am currently working on a fix for mouse problems now but I believe this is due to the fact that android is not detecting my mouse properly. I have only 1 request being that I am using a wireless mouse there are no correct input devices on the system that will allow me to use a mouse to click and drag. At least that I hAve found as of yet. Perhaps a way to just use the system mouse inside of the application rather than a system and a application mouse that must be balanced together. In case It Is relevant I am usIng a logItech performance Mx.

Could do with a nice 'manager' like dosbox turbo for launching different games, but I find this one to be less prone to crashing. Can't get the joypad addon to work tho

A. G. u. May 20, 2012     

Really nice. I would like to see the delete key in the special keys list, and a feature that uses the cam button to toggle between trackpad and scroll

A. G. u. Apr 15, 2012     

Unlike the opposition, this doesn't need network permission, which is excellent! Otherwise much the same. TurboC, TurboBasic, QBasic & Fractint all run nicely on my HTC Sensation, BTW; as well as the SIMH emulators (an emulator inside an emulator!) if you remember the PDP 8 and PDP 11...

Who would have thought you couls play Jazz Jackrabbit on a tablet let alone Leisuresuit Larry. I just have to figure out how to use the game keyboard to save my progress and I will be in heaven.

I had an issue with the game Master of Magic running slow on my 7inch tablet (OMAP-4430 w/ 1GB RAM), and email the developer about the issue. I got a response within 3 hour of my email. After 3 or 4 correspondences back and forth within the same day, the developer was able to help me resolve the speed issue, and now MoM run at near full speed (game runs at 100% speed most of time, with minor slow down to ~75% normal speed once a while). For those of you that is also playing MoM on anDosBox, that runs a little bit slow also. Go into the dosbox.conf file in your sdcard root directory, and un-comment out the cpu cycle setting line, and change the 4000 value to 10000. Save the file, and launch anDosBox. It should run at almost perfect speed now.

This is just a bad ripoff of dosbox turbo. Bought this one first. Bad idea. There isnt even any sound support!
