Stilton: The way to do it is apparently to install the game onto your PC and then copy the installation across (less its own DosBox files) to your Android device and then point Android's DosBox at it. Opening the two programs on my tablet doesn't seem to indicate any problems.
j0ekerr: Yes, but you see. What you're doing is feeding Dosbox turbo a script file to load and run the game. If there's even the slightest mistake in that file, it will just show you that blank screen. I've even found that things as morose as a whitespace ater a command, which in theory shouldn't have any effect, DO, fuck things up. That's why I was suggesting to fire up Dosbox and to load the game manually from the command line.
I get what you're saying :-)

EndreWhiteMane: That should be all that's needed, that's exactly the way dosbox works on Windows.
Does dosbox do anything when you start it on the Android or just sit there?
Opening the manager just gives a GOG-style set of wooden shelves with a default setup ready to be configured - but then its just a manager...
Turbo opens to a blue panel with some information commands which only apply to PC - the Android keyboard is ineffective. There's also some text beneath the panel and a flashing cursor waiting for input. As I understand it, Turbo is just waiting for the relevant information from the manager (where the configuration is done) to get the game going.
