Ratings and reviews

As a beginner, using a DOS emulator is a little more complicated than a console emulator. Even more complicated is the task of adapting a keyboard & mouse game to touchscreen controls, especially if its a game I've never played before! Magic DosBox has guides that helped me set up the game I wanted to play. They also have a forum where people share their touchscreen profiles for various games. With this help I was able to play Blood on my phone easily.

After 30 minutes of setup I had Quest for Glory 1 VGA, Master of Magic, and The Incredible Machine running smoothly with touch controls that felt native. Even created custom touch buttons down the left side of the display for the top menu controls in QFG using the original icon images. This has its quirks and bugs (can't set custom cycles?), but you can easily create a pretty flawless setup in a short time. $3 app on a $20 refurb Fire HD 8 for this kind of experience is an absolute steal.

Great DOSBox implementation. A couple of features that would be nice would be for mounting a floppy disc and the ability to auto add an "exit" after the running application exits. In addition, if the running application is a batch file, it should "call" the batch file. Just so I don't have to edit the "advanced" file every time. Another addition could be to set defaults.
