I have the GOG installer for Lands of lore 1+2, installed on my PC (installed only Lands 2), btw I already have DOSBOX on my PC and having another DOsBox seems to be a mess and it gets installed with the Lands of lore.

So now I have in a folder these subfolders:

- some DosBox folder
- Lands 2 folder

is this just the installation files? I see only Install and Setup exe there in the lands folder. Anyway the thing is I want to run this on DosBox Turbo on my android, not on the PC, I watched one video where they mount some dvd rom on Dos Box (PC), but it seems to be nothing like what I g et from the GIG installer, any advise?
Are you wanting to install the game just on your Android and not on your PC?

The easiest way to get the game on your device is to run the GOG installer then copy the install folder to the Android. From there you just fire up DosBox Turbo, mount the C drive, navigate to the executable and run it. you can always uninstal the game from your PC afterwards along with the additional DosBox install. Trying to run the installer through DosBox is a bit of a pain because the installer thinks it is sitting on a physical disc inserted into a drive.
If you just copy over dosbox folders, you probably need to look carefully at 1) the shortcut, sometimes it includes extra -settings not inside the relevant .conf file and 2) the .conf file itself and where it is pathing. You probably also need to adjust the .conf settings to work with what's on your tablet.

I've already run the GOG Lands 1 2 installer on PC and via windows not dosxbox. And I got these 2 folders - one for dosbox and one for Lands 2,

I don't need to mount the C drive on my phone cause Dosbox turbo already sees the files and folders on your Internal Memory, so if I copied the Lands 2 folder, I see it. I get:

Unable to Load Language File from CD-ROM disc #1

when I run SETUP.EXE in the DosBox Turbo - I get the same from my own previously installed DosBox (PC). Now GOG gives you some icon to start and it launches its own DOSBOX that was installed from GOG (not the one I have installed on my own)

So the configuration for my own DosBox and DosBox Turbo to launch the game is the same, my question is exactly what is the configuration?

I did not see dosbox.conf in the GOG's dosbox, Edit - ok I saw DOSBOXLOL2,conf at the Lands 2 folder. Still don't know how to make it work.

Most likely you need to adjust the config file to point to the right directory on your device, as android doesn't have c: or d: drives. The path you need to use to mount things is something like EXTSDCARD/folder.

yes he needs to do that, believe it's mnt/sdcard0 something.

Sdcard identifier might be different from device to device, so you need to check it from your device what those are named as, but on my Galaxy Tab2 they are

sdcard0
extSdCard

You pretty much mount them in the config the same way they're now, but use those sdcard drive names instead with a correct folder path. That should do the trick.
When I open the files I see /storage/emulated/0/ - but I see C:\ and all my folders in DosBox Turbo, not the STORAGE\EMULATED\... etc, I do that from the internal memory no memory card.

But can any1 tell me step by step what exactly do I need to copy?

I have the installed LoLG folder, another folder for GOG's DOSBOX these are on the PC. O copied the Lands2 folder to my phone and btw I noticed that even GOG's DOSBOX won't start the game if you just click on the EXE.

What starts the game is a SHORTCUT with this info attached to GOG's DOSBOX

"E:\Legacy Games\Lands of Lore Guardians of Destiny\DOSBOX\DOSBox.exe" -conf dosboxLOL2.conf -noconsole -c "exit"

somehow it finds the CONF file which is actually in Lands of lore 2 folder, while the Dosbox.EXE of GOG is in the other folder. idk how it finds it, then the CONF has:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
@echo off
mount C .
c:
cls
lolg.exe -CD .
exit

What could I use in all that for DosBox Turbo?

The correct mount should go something like this:

mount c: /mnt/extSdCard/folder

and for a cd ISO

imgmount D /mnt/extSdCard/folder/game.iso (in some cases might be game.gog) -t iso -fs -iso

Of course you need to make sure that the folder structures are the same you've installed the game as dos games are in some cases pretty specific about it. So if the game is on your computer in c:\game, then it has to be the same in Android as well.
Your command is to mount external SD Card and Im saying I do not have one. all is on the internal memory, that's why I get /storage/

anyway I type:

mount D /storage/emulated/0/(folder of the game) -t cdrom

so it is mounted on D:

but when I try to run the game it says not enough disk space and D has 0KB free
You need to mount both, the cd and the install folder, as the CD mount drive won't have any free space.
don't understand how do I MOUNT BOTH?

Btw if anyone knows how this game to be started on dosbox turbo, likie entirely I am open for ideas

Simply by mounting them as their own dedicated drives. You can type the mount commands in the config files.

So let's assume you have the game on C: drive and your CD image will be D:. You'd write the mounts like these:

mount c /sdcard/folder
imgmount d /sdcard/folder/game.iso -t iso -fs -iso

This will give you a C: drive where the game is installed and D: drive which will be your CD drive.
