Dosbox for Android - Android Software Development

Can anyone pick up where the developer of aDosbox left off? There hasn't been any work on this project in forever and it's truely an awesome application that is pretty close to fully working.
It's open source and is available at http://code.google.com/p/adosbox/
Current need additions and changes:
Correct the Key inputs on the Virtual Keyboard.
Add full 101-key support so that F-keys are emulated and arrow keys.
Add support for controller device configuration (ie, map joystick buttons to keyboard keys as a visual representation on touch screen.)
Audio + Midi support.
Mouse emulation Support in running programs.
Speed Optimizations. (perhaps a compile with GCC to make it faster?)
Anyone think they can take this kind of challenge?
I'd already be working on it if I had enough programming background experience.

Oh man, I'd love to be able to play Master of Orion and Master of Magic (and tons of others I'm sure) on my new Android!

I've already been able to completely get into the Star Control II original PC game. Just can't control the ship once I'm in game. :/ Damned Virtual Keyboard needs correct key support and additional key support.

Able to completely run Dune II on aDosbox. Figured out the mouse support. However still no sound support, and it runs a bit slow. But for a first release and it works without a hitch, that's pretty amazing. Someone really needs to continue the support off the open source code.

I've bought Master of Magic of gog.com and it's running fine without keyboard (Nexus One), tried HOMM2 which works but bit too slow to play normally ....
Looking forward dosbox to be in development again ...

Oh man, Playing NORMALITY again

Any news on this?

question
i installed borland c 3.1 on the dosbox, the problem is i can't find alt key or mouse click key to use it on my HTC Desire, anyone has any idea?

I've only found this thread from the developer.
It's from April 2011 so quite a time ago.
I've posted some comments there for the 0.2x version.
However the dev works on the project, here you can download the last one (curently it's 0.2.5 WGA 480/800 from may 2011).
For some reason:
- the dev has not shown up from that time on xda forum.
- there is no feedback on users comments concerning bugs and other issues
- THERE IS NO HELP FOR MAKING GOOD SETTINGS (ESPECIALLY MOUSE EMULATION AND SO ON) ANYWHERE. EVEN ON THE PROJECT PAGE.
I love this work. I keep thumbs for it.
However the communication sucks.
Oh. And here you've got a link for adosbox for G2/Desire Z.

Official post describe this app is lockated here.
Enjoy and donate if you like it,
GRemote author.
definately trying this when i get home great work
Very cool, trying now Thanks!!!!
OMG!!! I wish I was not a student and had money to donate... This app is P E R F E C T!
THANKS A LOT!!!!
e.g. I tried it via Wi-Fi. Is it working with bluetooth?
well, it's working GREAT on my polaris... it reacts amazingly fast and is built very well.
some suggestions:
1. Add DPad support for media playing...
2. Add direct bluetooth connection instead of areal network.
3. Add timeline in media player to see progression of current track (and to go thru it)
4. Add support for winamp maybe..
i suggest you take a look at this app. i've been using it for quite a while now and it's very very useful.. doesn't react as well as yours and doesn't have as many options.. but it's usefulness is very noticable.. and it's bluetooth integration is important.

thank you so much. this is wonderful
this program is absolutely incredible. ive been looking for something like this for a looong time to control my carpc with. Kudos man, ur a god. I was just wondering if its possible to add like a play list for the media control maybe? maybe it can refer to the media program thats open or have a plugin for say itunes or windows media player and it shows you whichever songs are on the current playlist? just a thought

Enjoy,
Marcin.
Dear MarBalon,
I want to just say that is is a great program. I got it working over bluetooh on my laptop and it has greatly helped with presentations and alot more. Please keepu p hte good work. I did have one question. I have a titan so I can't use the mouse feature, only the touchpad. For the keyboard page is there a way you can just make a full on screen keyboard?
Thanks,
Keep up hte Good work - JukEboX

Android-style Cards (Like on the Palm Pre)

I know everyone doesn't like to copy other operating system with their neat features such as the iphone multi-touch and the icon docks and stuff.
But, i really feel that android can become more successful in multi-tasking but adding what the Palm Pre has which are cards, which are separate windows that encase a certain application, in which you can swipe between each card to run that app, since Android does allow background running apps this can help android users to be more efficient in their multi-tasking and everything else.
Wonder if theres a way android devs can develop code for this to be impliment or does this have to come from the andriod development core to write the files and kernel for this?
any feedback / comments on this is welcome
It would probably be in a form of an application (such as ahome, dxtop, etc), because doing that kind of work to the kernal would be more tedious lol.
P.S. the lakers game made me cry. lol

lets hope devs can start working on this i would pay money for this app!!
and omg i know :/ failed.
but i like i told everyone else its all about money so they just wanted to extend this series more blah.
If anything, Sweeterhome should be able to implement this.. although i don't think it would run as smooth..

Doesn't holding down the home button basically already do this?

Holding the home button just displays the last used apps, regardless of whether or not they are running/open.
anyone else on this?
Of course I'm with you. I think that with Android 2.0 supporting OpenGL ES 2.0, we can see full use of Tegra's 3D UI with its 3D windows showing running applications. Holding down the Home button would take you to this view...

[REQ] WVGAFIX3-like Program with virtual D-Pad

Hi there,
is there any chance to modify WVGAFIX3, to get a VGA screen resolution on the WVGA-devices PLUS a virtual d-pad?? That would be great for many programs and a gift from heaven!
I hope, I'm not too cheeky, but that would solve many problems of many users, who need to use older software on their new devices.
thx a lot in advance!!!
I agree, would be a godsend!
Anyone interested in becoming my hero? I have an Omnia, very capable, but cannot use many java games because of touchscreen ....... I think many would benefit!
I would appreciate that!!
I vote FOR with both hands
An ideea 4 arrows and OK button in the middle like Cruise have.
Me too....
The Toshiba TG01 has some sort of virtual d-pad. Maybe someone can extract it to other WVGA devices?
about direct pad... probably good idea. maybe will look into at next WVGAFIX update.

Wow! That would be a greeeat present !!
You should make it bounty !

Perfect
Perhaps very helpful :-T
I'm willing to make the UI
I'm willing to contribute the user interface (you know, nice looking floating small D-Pad) as long as someone will teach me how to programatically control the arrows (probably some kind of a win32 API function that needs to be invoked...)
Great if it was done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It works in some games and apps technically I view it even in opengles apps... but only few games uses it...
There was a pretty big discussion on this quite a while ago, but I think it kind of petered out eventually. One of the ideas was to implement a simulated multi-touch that uses virtual points in between the controls. This works very well in fact in Morphgear for playing games that require a direction and an A button for instance.
To see the multi-touch discussion check out here. To see how it was implemented in morphgear, check out this great skin here.
But even a simple cross with a select button without multi-touch simulation would be wonderful. Same implementation allowing direction + an extra button using simulated multi-touch even better!

DOSBox running perfectly on Vibrant!

It's running inside my old Debian chroot I've migrated from my old Mytouch 3G and Cliq.
It uses a VNC server with geometry 800x480, TWM window manager, and DOSBOX with a config file disabling scancodes, scaler=none, and all audio disabled.
Runs quite well. I haven't tried anything particularly demanding yet, but Moraff's Revenge, some old SSI gold box games, and various Ultima games play just fine.
The Swype keyboard is a GODSEND for emulation on this device. the cursor key input mode is PERFECT for MS-DOS games.
That's awesome. Haven't touched linux in Android since I played around with it back on my G1. Any tutorials you'd recommend?
If any X-Com or UFO games run nicely, I will never get anything done ever again. Officially.
Can you post the source for this?
i doubt it would run and if it did, probably not very well but i saw dosbox and suddenly thought about m.u.g.e.n. it ran on dos back in the day, i remember wasting countless hour setting up mugen with various characters and such
Sorry everyone, forgot about this thread.
An update: The mouse is seriously messed up; any game that relies on mouse input is basically unusable. Not sure if there's a work around for it. It's also fairly slow, but that's not all that surprising considering this is a cellphone.
I'll try to type up a decent how-to this afternoon.
Games I've run:
Dungeon Master
Ultima Underworld
Ultima 0 - 5
Legacy of the Ancients
Just about all of the SSI gold box games

Yes Please! I have an old DOS calculator that's critical for my job, I'd love to be able to run it on my Vibrant and Tab. Then I could finally get rid of the old XP laptop I have to hang on to JUST for this 1 program. (Can't get it to run on my Win7 machines).
Wich keys do you use for ctrl and alt?

Virtual Gamepad
https://www.youtube.com/embed/bvWmEMKOuyo
This feature lets you configure and layout your own Virtual Controller. You can move and re-size buttons, configure a joystick or gamepad and label your controls. It supports most of games and software in windowed mode by simulating different kinds of keyboard operations like shortcuts, joysticks and mouse click, etc.
Therefore, you can use it to play FPS games like Call of Duty, Minecraft or other Emulator games including PPSSPP.
Virtual Mouse
https://www.youtube.com/embed/rEeYTdbYoq4
Users can precisely control the mouse pointer on touch screen, just like using the touchpad on laptop. So it is so convenient that you control the windows program by touching the screen without real mouse, like doing efficient document work.
Video Assistant
https://www.youtube.com/embed/JTFOIUFp_wc
This function can let users control most of the video players by providing fast forward, backward, screen lock and light control and volume control with simple gestures, etc.
Night Mode
https://www.youtube.com/embed/y_F4D91CR5U
This feature provides users with customized transparent keyboard. And it can allow users to navigate IE browser in night mode and lower the lightness of the screen beyond the system Configuration.
(We do really care about your eyes health)
Others

Besides, Touch Anyway support Mem-cleaner with simple click and Efficient sleep, which can automatically turn off WIFI to save your tablet’s power and re-open the WIFI when you wake it up.
This APP is free,you can try for free forever even trial period is end,you just cannot get update and setting configuration.
