Android and Dosbox Turbo

Ethaniel · 02-14-13, 05:22 PM

I was wondering...
Has anyone else tried playing any of these games on android with dosbox turbo?
Last night I installed a few on my old phone but I controlling kinda sucks...
Maybe some tips would help... since there are no good sub games for android.

I don't really understand why you would want to play Aces of the Deep or Silent Hunter 1 on an android cause there's no keyboard for control...

I don't know anything about Androids...so...I cannot help you.

I haven't played either. I merely installed them just for fun. Which was no fun at all... I wondered if anyone else attempted such thing.

I've heard of people doing it on their Tablets but not a phone.

I run AOTD on my ASUS tablet. Works great, but there is no way it would work on a smartphone. You NEED the keyboard and you need the view uncluttered with the on-screen keyboard.

I might give it a go, I have a plugin keyboard for my small android tablet.

Back in action, got myself a nice little samsung android tablet, purchased the DOSBox Turbo app and then found myself (with much digging in undisclosed places on the internet) a great DOS copy of Classic Harpoon

Runs great with sounds and looks good as well. I have a nice bluetooth keyboard and mouse

Whoa! complicated little game, going to need to read over the manuals!
