Hey folks, I'm turning to you all again for some tablet-related advice... I have been enjoying my still-pretty-new tablet quite a bit (rooted LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Ed.) and am really having fun with Shadowrun Returns and Avadon The Black Fortress, and especially with the ClassicBoy multiple-console emulator... I no long have a PS1, so getting to play PS1 games is particularly exciting, especially considering I can use an Xbox 360 gamepad via USB OTG.

But I'm really curious about using DosBox to play some old adventure games. I took a look at a couple Dosbox emulators on the Google Play market, and I have to admit, when I took a look at the configuration of a couple of them, I was pretty stumped... I got the distinct impression that playing games with these emulators would just be a pain in the arse...

So, I'm wondering, for any of you who use DosBox on Android, is it relatively easy to navigate and play games, or is there a steep learning curve with configuring controls that make sense? This may be a stupid set of questions, but I was a bit intimidated by what I checked out.

Also, my wife just recently won an iPad Mini in a public radio drawing (it hasn't arrived yet, but should be here within the next 2 weeks) and I'm REALLY unfamiliar with iPads. I've never been a fan of apple products (had an iPod Classic and had to Rockbox it to be able to tolerate it, and I was only able to stand using iTunes for about a week before switching to Foobar 2000.)

So the whole iOS thing is a totally new world to both of us, and I'm curious if any of you have any favorite games and/or apps that you would recommend.

And for those still reading, since I've taken so much of your time, here's a couple little goodies as a thanks. :)

Cogs (Steam): &0L^D-BMFZ^-JYRN&

(& = E, ^ = X)

Swords & Soldiers HD (Steam): WV*#F-CZ*#A-0KV3T

(* = J, # = 6)

Savant - Ascent (Steam Humble Gift) https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key=FUs*afnWR*%%yRDq

Having just got an android tablet myself I would like to know this too as I would like to have my phantasmagoria 1 and 2 anywhere.

+1 for the giveaway and thank you, I snagged swords and soldiers. :)

Enjoy it. :) I'm also curious if folks have a favorite DosBox app. I suppose I should ask about ScummVM as well, as I haven't tried out either.

:)

Bump to make sure the codes are seen / taken at least. :)

Duh most likely :p the savant one atleast is (not by me)

Playing any emulator or dosbox game without a joystick will be a pain in the butt, trust me on that.
i have an archos gamepay with a buildin joystick, though for the ipad you can buy seperate joysticks which you place on the screen. If you have a joystick someway it's a nice little handy gaming machine. ;)

Setting up anything in dosbox, takes a bit of messing around, and if you want alot it will take some time too.
Because as far as i know you have to edit each and every config file seperatly.

I was afraid that was the case. Not sure I'll have the patience for the dosbox stuff if that's the case. Maybe for a rainy day something-to-do project. :)
