Yo.
I made this as Caddy's recommendation for a thread to share different DOSBox configs. Usually you can get away by just tweaking and experimenting yourself until the game runs fine, but this would be good for people who took that trouble already and you can just copy the settings.
So, a few things. If you want to play DOS games on mobile, there are great Android emulators. Check out both of these:
MagicDOSBox - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bruenor.magicbox
DOSBox Turbo - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fishstix.dosbox
Which one you use is up to you. Just note that in MagicDOSBox you can set the Mouse Resolution if the Absolute mouse is messed up. I don't think you can do that in DOSBox Turbo. Both are good and I'd probably just grab both of them, really.
Games that I've got working on MagicDOSBox in the past few weeks (I will edit this post and add the settings I changed when I have my tablet in hand):
Master of Magic (100% playable, Absolute mouse works perfectly)
Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye (100% playable)
I'll add more going forward. These are just 2 quick ones I tested/added to test MagicDOSBox. One other note, both of these games work very well with a bluetooth/wireless mouse + keyboard. I would recommend something like this:
It takes some getting used to but it works well. If you need better mouse and keyboard control for some games then you might want to look elsewhere. But for basic keyboard/mouse function this works well. And it's backlit, so that's cool for playing in the dark.
Finally, to keep the thread sane and not huge walls of settings text, I'd probably just focus and post the settings you changed that are necessary to get the game working well. In other words, if all the other settings are default but you had to change CPU Cycles, just post the CPU Cycles setting and explain that the other settings are default.
If I'm forgetting anything let me know. I'll probably make a video showing a few things as well with the Shield in particular. That wireless keyboard/mouse + Shield in Console Mode is not only an emulator console but a damn nice DOS emulator console.
Enjoy.
