Ratings and reviews

Very nice Dos emulator. There are many possibilities for customization of input. I found some issues, though. There are problems with calibration of the joystick for some games and even calibrated it's difficult to use. The overlay buttons can be used for games like Tetris, but the app cannot register more than one of them being pressed simultaneously. Otherwise, I'm having fun playing turn based games.

This is a reasonable DosBox port, with the focus on DosBox setup whch allows you get games launcued and running, and it can even get Windows 3.11 running. However there's not enough customisation of the interface between touch screen and DOS available, so games tend to be harder to actually play than they could be. You can get them started, but are unlikely to play to completion.

This didn't work and I can't get a refund. DO NOT BUY!! You have to purchase it first, then figure out if you can get it to work. It didn't for me and there are better options. If you have a constant internet connection, a better way is to install steam and dosbox on your computer. Add dosbox to your steam games via the "add a game not on steam" option. Then put steamlink on your phone. You can set up everything in dosbox on your pc, but run it through your phone. Much easier. (And free)
