Hi guys, I'd like to introduce a DOSBox emulator port for Windows Phone 8.1 & up.I developed this app more than half an year ago but final release 'polishing' was on hold because of many reasons. However, I think that the app 'as is' (btw, it's works and works fine!) published in the store is much better than no app at all so I decided to publish itWhat is the 'DOSBox' and how to use it, you may read on the; shortly: you can run good old DOS games (or other apps!), built for x86 CPU, on your Windows Phone.Screenshots. Classic Sierra's quests are working fine; Wolf 3D (for DOS) also playable.
He-he, you can run Windows 3.1 on your phone tooI recommend to use Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to work with emulator. Camera button toggles 'turbo-mode' of emulator (sometime is very useful), you can change this binding in settings. WP standard 'back' key bound to the keyboard 'Esc'.BTW, app has virtual keyboard and joystick; mouse is emulated via touch screen. Now mouse emulation has two modes, absolute and relative. absolute mouse mode: moves mouse pointer on virtual screen and emulates left button click by phone screen tap. Very simple but still useful in some old DOS games and definitely in DOS programs working in the text mode.
relative mouse mode: to move mouse pointer, touch & hold phone screen and move your finger; mouse should move relative to your finger movements. To emulate left mouse click - tap the screen, double-click - double-tap. To emulate right mouse click, hold & release finger. To move mouse with left mouse button pressed - hold for a little and start moving your finger on the screen. So, this mode simulates (at least, is trying too) a standard notebook touch-pad behavior.How to work with the app:. install app.
connect phone to PC. create folder dosbox (or whatever) on the phone or sd-card memory. On W10M you may create folder at the root; on WP8.1 create your folder inside any public folders (Pictures, Documents etc.). launch the app and choose folder; after synchronization it will be your virtual drive 'c:'. Later, you need to synchronize this folder manually after adding or deleting apps & data.If you don't want to use PC, I strongly recommend you to use 'Total Commander' app!
You can easily open and unpack archives with old DOS games and programs to your virtual 'drive c:' folder.App is paid now ($1.99) but still has a free trial version, with some functionality limitation.Support forum is located.W10M store link:WP8.1 store link:Enjoy, and 'have a nice DOS'. Bought this a week ago. Love it!!Wish it was a Win10 UWA and available on PC. Heres why in order:1. I have used dosbox on Desktop PC before but can't be bothered with the setup. A store app that is single click install and gets updated automagically would be awesome.2.
Easy install on tablet. I have an 10' tablet I love for casual gaming, add on clipon joypad for tons fun. Classic dos box is such a pain to install becuase it bums without a mouse.3. CONTINUUMI appreaceate these are all different platforms to support but i think the potential users of all combined will make it worth it.
Version 1.6.1.17 submitted to the store.What's new:. added MOGA controllers support. It was tested on MOGA Mobile (MOGA Pocket) only but (probably) will work with the other MOGA controllers. I do have MOGA mobile (shown on picture above) and don't have any plans to purchase other controllers. If something not working, and you want to have it fixed, gift me that controller and I'll see how I can help you. fixed screen size for handsets with 'software buttons' upgraded to W10M (previously the emulator screen was partially hidden by menu buttons).
fixed couple of small bugsMOGA support is paid and included to the ' All features' IAP so if you already purchased all features, you're allset.I can not guaranty 100% flawless work of MOGA controller because I wrote UWP driver for MOGA from scratch but for me it working fine (just completed couple of levels of 'Wolf3D' - very useful). Wish it was a Win10 UWA and available on PC. Heres why in order:1.

CONTINUUM Unfortunately, I should say 'no' for all your requests:1. The original DOSBox emulator (or clones with additional features) works on the desktop Windows 10 perfectly; also, standard win32/64 app don't have some stupid limitations what store apps has.
If you have a troubles with original DOSBox you should. Change your nickname at least2. Number #2 maybe a good reason (and reasonable request) but. I've sold my Surface 2 and Surface 3 on ebay because of the complete uselessness so I'm unable to properly test app on the tablet, simple don't have one and don't have a plans to waste my money for it.3. You must be kidding4. I'll not going to maintain two UWP versions of DOSBox, same as I don't want to loose my WP8.1 customers (I do have a lot of 'em). If you want to see DOSBox on the big TV screen, just simple switch second display to the mirroring mode.
By the way, the performance is limited by throughput so 'native CONTINUUM' support will give you nothing (comparing with mirroring).Last edited by sensboston; at 06:44 AM. I understand that the moga controller is popular with mobile. I was just curious if you plan on supporting it. I take this as a no.For those that already have an XBOX ONE but not a MOGA, they can just connect the controller up to the handset and play. Those people are already used to using the XBOX controller, and no need to fork over cash for a new different controller.Thanks again for the app.I tried playing Tyrian (it's become a free game now) last night but it was difficult controlling using the screen controller.
Dosbox keeps toggling left and right repeatedly many times a second. Possibly incompatible with the game maybe or vice versa. I will test it some more when I get a chance.
I think you shouldn't dismiss xbox one controller support. There are probably s lot more users that own that one than Moga users. Of course Moga support is cool, but xbone support would be an additional cool feature too. And if your game is uwp it would work on PC too with both controllers.First, this DOSBox app is designed for phones only (you can run original or modded DOSBox'es on your PC without problems). I don't have Xbox One controller (but own Xbox 360) and can't imagine how to use Xbox 360 controller with the phones.MOGA controllers are designed especially for using with the handsets: they are lightweight and (what is really important) has a phone holders.
Windows 98 Dosbox
I'm using MOGA Mobile with Lumia 950 - this controller is really cheap one (just a $9 on Amazon or ebay) and really useful and handy to play games on Lumia.Could you tell me, how you'll play games on the phone with Xbox One controller? I mean, physically?
Dosbox Windows 10 Download
In that case you need to put your phone somewhere (on desk etc.) with additional holder (to hold the phone in appropriate angle). I don't think it's a good usecase. I tried DOSBox on the large TV screen (in the screen mirror mode), the overall experience isn't good enough: a small lag via Miracast (I do have MS USB stick) 'kills' gameplay for the most of DOS games (only very old, simple and small CGA games are still playable).BTW, if you have Xbox One controller, it means you also have Xbox One console too;) I afraid even good old DOS games can not compete with modern super-duper titles on the brand new console:DLast edited by sensboston; at 06:54 PM.
