I only tried the one game, could it be my copy of DUKE3d. >?

Any help appreciated
You must add some ram in Options. Some games needs more then 2mb that are in default option.

I have X-wing on my Tablet, a Motorola Xoom, and I'd like to use my Sixaxis controller with it (I also have the Sixaxis app installed). I get to the initial screen that wants me to calibrate the joystick. I do as it asks, moving the joystick into the corners and center of the screen. But once I'm in the pilot registration room, the cursor is very erratic, moving all over the screen.

Is there a certain setting I should pick to fix this? I've tried a few different control options, like onscreen joystick or physical joystick. But I can't seem to get it right.

Thanks!
Hi, I sent you a PM. I have a beta build of DB Turbo that you might like to try.

Hi. Brilliant app... I just have one small issue

On the Galaxy S III I'm running UFO : Enemy Unknown with absolute mouse positioning and the mouse cursor doesn't *quite* reach the top or bottom of the screen (in landscape mode), which means you can't scroll up or down in the tactical missions. So frustrating because it's so close to being perfect! I've been waiting for the chance to play UFO on a phone for a LONG time

I've been using relative mouse mode as a workaround of course but it works much better in absolute mode

I know it's an experimental feature but would there be any chance you could take a look?

Has anyone tried to run this great app with games in iso files?

I have "Novastorm", a cool dos game, but it's on iso.

I manage to run it on Windows with D-Fend, but i'm with difficulties on android.

Takes in advance.

Sure, ISO images can be mounted in DosBox.
An example of mounting an ISO image in DosBox Turbo would be:
Code:
imgmount d "/sdcard/MyISO.iso" -t iso
Which would mount the iso image as a new drive letter d:

Click on the link above for additional information (ie. bin/cue images, etc).

Wish I could help you here, but I've no idea how GOG packages their games. I can tell you this, on the non-GOG version of Dungeon Keeper, you need to have both the installation directory and the final game directory on your Android phone. I generally like to perform the install on Android instead of the PC, as just copying over the final installed directory from the PC is not enough and results in the CD question mark screen.

My suggestion would be to try to perform the install within DosBox Turbo and see if that resolves the problem.

For technical reasons, when reaching the edge of the screen (top or bottom edge) with your finger and due to the way the touchscreen works, you may (or may not) get that final edge pixel coordinate before your finger moves off the touchscreen. The way to solve this is to use the "Screen Scaling Factor" at set it to something like 95%. You'll want to create just a little 'buffer zone' around the screen where your finger can move and still register. Make sure you tell DosBox Turbo to keep the screen centered as well. Hope this helps!

Default Donīt know if this got answered....

Hi again Gene!
Donīt know if this got answered but is there any way to save settings and hardware keyboard mappings so as not having to do it every time u start Dosbox?? Or is Dosbox Manager the only way? And how come Manager makes you upgrade Dosbox Turbo to the latest version? Why wonīt it work with 1.3.5 which is the one I installed some time ago?? Many thanks in advance... App would be PERFECT if it let you save keyboard mappings and general settings without the aid of Dosbox Manager or if said Manager could work in older versions.
Cheers!

Does anyone know if Xwing works for the Xperia play?

Using the hardware controls would be awesome. I didn't even think of that.
