Step 3: Download Some Games While there are many places to download DOS games online, none is more complete than (which stands for Good Old Games). Just make sure that any games you download that are still copyright-protected are games you have purchased before in the past, to relieve yourself of any liability. Unfortunately, while many games on GoG are optimized for DosBox, they do not currently give users any way to filter games by their compatibility with DosBox, so a little research is necessary on the specific games you are interested in playing. There are a few lists of DosBox compatible games floating around, like and, but none of them seem to be fully extensive.

Step 4: Copy the Game to Your Device Create a folder on the root of your device's SD card called Dos. Copy the game files that you downloaded into that folder.

Step 6: Edit Your Game Profile Next, long-press your newly created game profile and select Edit Config. This is where things can get a little complicated, as different devices and games will perform differently with different settings applied, so some experimentation may be necessary. Configure DosBox First off, we need to configure DosBox, so enter the DosBox Settings sub-menu. From here, start by tapping Memory Size and changing it to something appropriate for the game and your device. For Master of Orion 2 on a Nexus 4, I set mine to 256 MB. For newer devices, feel free to crank this up to its highest value. You will need to look around in the game files and identify which is the game's EXE file.

In the case of Master of Orion 2, it is ORION2.exe. Configure Input & Screen Settings In the Edit Profile settings, you can configure your Input Preferences. These include Input Mode (which can be toggled between Joystick, Mouse, and Scroll input), Mouse Tracking, Sensitivity, and more. For a game like Master of Orion 2, I switched Mouse Tracking to Absolute, which allows you to click on the screen like a touch screen instead of moving the mouse around like a touch pad.

So I installed today new windows 95 CZ. It was pain, but I will write here my experiences. First snapshot was done with the Limbo PC emulator like in video in previous post. It was pain because this app crashes often.

Unlike this video I booted from floppy using windows 95 boot disk. CD-ROM was disabled. At beginning I copied installation files to the root of win95.img file which I mounted as Drive c:. I used WinImage app. Then I booted from floppy win95 boot disk. I started on floppy drive A:, I switched to C:.

Then to directory with installation files. “c:” “cd setup” “setup” During installation Limbo PC emulator crashed so often that I though that it will never finish. But finally I was able boot. I quit limbo and mounted this image in Magic Dosbox. But I was not able run normal boot. Safe mode worked and I installed S3 + sound blaster drivers from previous post. Monitor was set to super vga 1024×768.

Unfortunately it won’t boot normally. In safe mode I deleted lpt and com port drivers in device manager. In monitor settings I unckecked “automatic monitor detection” (or something like that). After that windows95 started normally.

How To Install Windows 98 On Dosbox Turbo

Okay so, I’m currently having fun with Civ2 on my Nexus 10 tablet. Magic Dosbox is working well so I just want to share my experience with you guys. I probably have installed Windows 95 on my tablet more than 50 times in past one month. I tried all different sorts of settings to test out what Win95 on M-Dosbox can do. In fact, my main goal was to run Heroes of Might and Magic 3. I managed to install the game but it was extremely slow.

HOMM3’s benchmarking program gives me 70MHz on my Nexus 10 and it requires 133MHz. Maybe newer phones can achieve the number but I have no idea since mine is old iPhone 4. So I just gave up that game and moved on to my all time favorite Civilization 2. The game itself is working alright but the problem is that Virtual Clone CD just doesn’t read audio tracks from disk image.

I have tried many other virtual drives including Daemon tools, which was a real pain in the ass to install btw, and all of them failed to run or read audio tracks. The most stable one was Virtual Clone CD and I am using it now. For BGM, I just ripped the CD and playing MP3s from background app. It works for me. Sometimes it gives me a wrong music at a wrong situation though. For the CPU speed wise, my i5 2500K desktop gives me around 300MHz and i5 laptop gives me around 260MHz and they run HOMM3 really fine.
