I'm sure everyone knows that DK1 (Dungeon Keeper 1) and Theme Hospital runs on DosBox.

Now because of this, I got the idea to put it on my android tablet, open the DosBox Turbo app, and run the .exe files.

But instead of it running normally like the it does on the computer, it tells me that the disc is missing (check screenshot).

Any ideas to fix this?

Thank You in advance for any help!

Haven't tried this myself, but try looking in the HOSPITAL.CFG file and see if the INSTALL_PATH makes sense from your DOSBox environment's perspective.

It says "INSTALL_PATH=C:\
INSTALL_TYPE=MAX
LANGUAGE=ENG" (no quotes) I'm not sure what to do about this, but I tried changing the "INSTALL_PATH=C:\"
to the location of the game folder "C:\sdcard\roms\pcgames\theme hospital".

There is no change
How is your DOSBox configured? Is the Theme Hospital directory mounted as drive C?

It's not directly mounted, most of it is automatic.

First it mounts the C drive to "sdcard" then it navigates to the Hospital directory, then runs "hospital.exe"

As for the overall configuration, I think it's the default for DosBox Turbo (except the auto directory thing).

In that case, you can probably fix the issue by updating the path in the HOSPITAL.CFG file

i.e.

INSTALL_PATH=C:\roms\pcgames\themeh~1\

where the path is the directory that DOSBox navigates to under "sdcard" to run the game.

Edit: updated path based on previously supplied information
