As I'm sure many of you are aware, people posting pirated apps the Android market has been a problem, but with in that problem is people posting GPL based applications, but refusing to comply with the terms of the the GPL. I've recently discovered that AnDOSBox, based on the DOSBox open source project, is one of those. It's not "convenient" for them to comply at this time. As an open source developer myself (but not of DOSBox itself, so I unfortunately can't file the DMCA violation request with Google), I hate to see people ripping off open source software and blatantly violating the license. Please do not buy AnDOSBox from the market.
OK, I'll have to get it by alternative means then!
hehe, I agree.
I just found this while I am publishing aDosBox 0.2beta.
It even uses a similar icon(or almost the same with aDosBox)

You are one of the devs on aDosBox??? Congrats on the new release! A really long wait... but worth it
And for those who don't know... aDosBox is heaps better than this AnDosBox... try it out on the Market!!!! I give it a 5 star rating!

uh, it's like you've just said - i didn't try andosbox... because its really way better than all other dosbox ports for android. i tried adosbox today to see if it improved, but it's still no comparision to andosbox - it's not even half as smooth.

lol that's quite funny, because adosbox just uses the original logo of adosbox, and andosbox is just slightly different - and you're accusing him of something? LOL

What games are you running on it? I have tried Airborne Ranger, Xenon 2, Magic Candle, Bard's Tale, Rogue, 2400AD, Altered Beast, Tyrian 2000, Ultima 4 and 5, Dune and none of them have any lag in them. I tried Andosbox and don't think that I'll support it at that price.
I'm using a snapdragon device btw.
Really hope aDosbox gets more releases out. Hope I could contribute somehow, but I have no clue how the software is being developed.
I tried adosbox recently after finding out that Raptor was available for the Apple Store.
aDosBox runs raptor too, but for my device it doesn't work that great yet. I still have hope.
Meanwhile, I found out that even though the developer of aNdosbox is charging 4 bucks, since it's under the GPL, people who paid for it are free to redistribute it. There is a 1.0.1 version hovering around on the net. If you can't find the link then let me know. But, andosbox can't even run some of the stuff adosbox does.

Let me clarify what I was talking about:
aDosBox 0.1 alpha was published in Feb 2010 and its logo is a combination of DosBox icon and Android robot icon. (just google aDosBox)
If you compare it with anDosBox icon, you will understand what I want to deliver.
PS: aDosBox is a hobby, not a product and it will never be. All credits belong to DosBox's author and the person who ported SDL to android platform(i.e. Pelya).
Everyone who wants to contribute and make dosbox run better on our android devices is welcomed to join us.
They do provide the source now, though you have to prove that you've got the binaries from them (which seems to be fine per GPL - they only have to provide sources to people they distribute the binaries to, and not just everyone; though of course others should be able to share once they get sources for themselves).

Thanks for the minor updates over the last week. If I may suggest something, I find that it is a bit hard to see what I type on the screen because the virtual keyboard opens up and covers most of the screen, is it possible to show just the command prompt line above the virtual keyboard instead of having to hide and re-open the virtual keyboard to see whether input is correctly made? Thanks a lot.
Much work has been put into AnDosBox, and it is the best DosBox emulator by far at the moment. It has games working better on the Android than I could make them run on any of my PCs, which is quite a feat.
Its mouse control is really great. The only way to do a mouse control on a touch phone without having a bluetooth mouse and tv-out of some kind.
I really did not think the old dos games could run that well on an Android phone (mine is Samsung Galaxy S), but I do hope that others manages to make emulators run better as well, so we might see emulators with a better kind of Joystick support. Although the kind he has implemented is in the direction of what I would want to do for a onscreen joystick. Being able to just place your thump anywhere, and move up, down, left or right.
But it would probably be easier with a on screen firebutton as well, which is seems to lack. And being able to not have the joystick area in the middle of the Screen.
The Pelya stuff in aDosBox is nice, and it is probably able to run some games that AnDosBox cannot. But so far most games seems to run in AnDosBox better than I would have anticipated.
And they are finally sharing the source. I will try to ask him for it myself.

I finally got to test aDosBox properly. For some reason I only got the SDL options to work with the menu button at first, and it sure helps being able to see the keyboard, quit button and all that. Since I cannot write anything in the developer section yet, I will post some feedback here:
Mouse support, I cannot get it to work at all. I have found that andosbox has a good mouse support, while adosbox has a good joystick / arrowkeys support. I am guessing I might be able to get the mouse to work if I make the Joystick control the mouse, but what I have come to find as the best method of controlling the mouse in games using a real mouse, is using the screen as a touch pad. But it seems a problem with Pelya to make that work properly.
Also an option to hide the on screen controls while they are still active would be nice.
Mouse calibration, that part might be the reason why the mouse does not work at all for me, but when going into it, I cannot select the screen. I can touch the 4 corners and it just goes into the Menu when I press menu after.
http://anddev.at.ua/load/emulators/dosbox_0_74/2-1-0-12
This one seems to show how that was meant to work, but I never really found a good way to make it work. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S, so the bottom right corner goes into my menu key. Top right goes into the back key. The DoxBox for Android I just linked has attempted to make the keymapper available on the menu key, which seems to be rather fail, since at most settings it is impossible to get out off again. Your menu seems to work much better, but after going into the SDL settings it seems to be lost, and only the SDL is on the menu key.
I am looking into Android development myself, I hope I can help some day, but I am still only just learning my way around the SDL and making some tutorial apps to get started. Good luck with the aDosBox project though.
They denied my request for the source code because I refunded the app. Sigh.
This may be the wrong area to ask, but in using aDosBox I'm having trouble starting the keymapper since my android on-screen keyboard obviously doesn't have "ctrl" or F-keys. How are the rest of you mapping keys for playing games? I have an Xperia Play running 2.3.3. With the stock settings but checking the box for having "Arrows/joystick/dpad" I can get the directional buttons to work, but can't map the triangle/square/x/o buttons to what I need for Commander Keen 4. Any help?
I have a droid incredible.
That said I tried adosbox and it works, but pretty slow.
I looked up many reviews and finally broke down and bought andosbox. (15 min refund if you don't like it made the deal sweet)
I have to say for the games i have played andosbox is 200% better, smoother more polished system. I been playing masters of orion 2 and anvil of dawn. Well, no lag on andosbox and while they are playable on adosbox, the difference is worth the 4 bucks.
So you get what you pay for in this instance. I like both programs and sdl is only currently supported by adosbox so it has that going for it as well.
So thanks for creating these awesome ports. I do recommend using adosbox to see how it runs on your phone before getting andosbox. Just i find i like the tilt and menus in andosbox better (plus default speed boost)
-------------------------------------------------
Also to respond to the game pad question, you can get a blue tooth joystick. or look on the net / market for gamepad keyboards. or on screen game pads. loconet sells one but i bet there are free ones as well.
I have the htc droid incredible so hid bluetooth is not working, but there are some joysticks out there that still work.
If you want alternate onscreen buttons. You will have to find one in the market.
Basicly you change your default keyboard to replace it with one that has the inputs you need.
If anybody is looking for the source...

Can you post the sources to the 1.1.9 version?
I posted the apk here, and even though it's GPL'ed software, my post was removed and I received an infraction from XDA.
BTW, it seems the reason that AnDosBox runs faster than aDosBox is because AnDosBox has a permanent framedrop hardcoded. Can someone try 1-3 framedrop on aDosBox and compare? I suspect the speed would be identical!

Hi, I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong area. How do you bring up the in-app menu on the Samsung Galaxy S7? The menu (two squares) button tries to go to split-screen mode and the back button exits the app. Long-pressing either does not work. The Assistant Menu option (under Accessibility) does not work either. I can't even bring up the keyboard at the DOS prompt. Pressing the menu button worked on the S4 and long-pressing it worked on the S5, but no idea how to bring up the menu on the S7. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!
I know there's another thread going on right now about the FPSE compatibility, but I just thought that a Wiki page would be that much more helpful and easy to navigate compared to a thread. I'm going to start taking the compatibility list from there and slowly migrating it over to the Wiki for ease of use and so anyone can edit it.
http://xplayfpse.wikkii.com/wiki/Main_Page#Legend
Edit:
The initial stage of the project is now complete. The next part is for everyone to add and update compatibility as they find out new things. I'll be monitoring the page, and I've sent arcticmedia (the creator of the original thread) a request to help me admin as well. I'll be looking for spam, general mistakes, spelling mistakes etc. If you don't feel comfortable editing the wiki yourself, post your findings about the game here and either myself or someone else will add it to the wiki.
If you don't know how to use a Wikipedia editor, here's the general process:
1) Find the section (letter of the alphabet) you wish to edit and click the 'edit' button.
2) The Wikipedia code editor will pop up. The general layout of the code for each game is like this:
<tr>
<td>Game Name</td>
<td>PSX ID</td>
<td>Region</td>
<td>Compatibility</td>
<td>Extra notes or comments</td>
</tr>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Each line there corresponds to the respectively named columns in the table. If for example I wanted to change the game called Alundra from 'Perfect' to 'Unplayable' because it has freezing issues, my code would look like this:
From:
<tr>
<td>Alundra</td>
<td>SLUS-00553</td>
<td>NTSC-U</td>
<td>Perfect</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To:
<tr>
<td>Alundra</td>
<td>SLUS-00553</td>
<td>NTSC-U</td>
<td>Uplayable</td>
<td>Has freezing issues.</td>
</tr>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All very simple, but make sure to not delete any extra brackets, slashes, etc. Also, all 5 lines in the middle need to be there. If you have nothing to put into the 'notes' category, leave it blank as <td></td>.
3) Adding a new game:
To add a brand new game, instead of editing the block of code above, simply copy/paste it and change all the information. If I want to add a game called 'Soul Reaver' that has perfect compatibility, I would add something like this:
From:
<tr>
<td>Soul Reaver</td>
<td>PSX ID</td>
<td>NTSC-U</td>
<td>Perfect</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try to keep them in alphabetical order of course by adding them in between the proper two games in the code. I'll try to maintain that myself as well.
Critical Depth [SLUS-00428]
I took a shot at updating the Wiki, but to post here as well: Critical Depth [SLUS-00428] is running great on FPSE. I've not really played past the 1st stage, but the framerate is good and sound working as well.

Lets ma a new column for psx4droid, so we change the Compatibility to FPSe and make a similiar one for the other emulator... how does that sound?

If there's enough demand for it, I'll probably remake the page and do it. It seems that most people are using FPse though.
Here you have another compatibility wiki (this one for homebrew PSP emulators). It may be helpful for identifying games rapidly: http://www.gamerspress.com/index.php?title=PSX_on_PSP_Compatibility_List

Yep, I actually shamelessly ripped the layout off there . Thing is, that's more of a software version list. The PSP 3.71 firmware (I think) was virtually 100% compatible with the PSX.
Someone add theme hospital. Does not work. Stuck at Ea/bullfrog splash screen.
Tried different roms and settings. no luck
Hi,
Need some advice getting MGS to work?
I get no sound then a black screen after the main menu.
Changed the sound setting and rebooted but still the same.
These are the games I tried:
Libero Grand International - Playable.
Ridge Racer 4 - Playable.
Theme Hospital - Unplayable. (freeze at Bullfrog screen).
Tekken 2 - Playable
Wipeout - Playable
X-COM UFO Defence - Playable.
I say playable but there are sound issues on all games as well as minor frame issues. It is nowhere near the likes of the PSPs PSX emulation in terms of speed, quality or compatability...yet!
Though must stress, only had quick goes at each, played nothing to completion yet!
Bushido blade = perfect
Klonoa = playable
Jackie Chan's stuntmaster = perfect
Parappa the Rapper = perfect
Street fighter ex 2 plus = perfect
Tomba = perfect (GTE on MDEC on frameskip 50fps limiter on)
Ive tried about 5 different iso's for Road Rash 3d.
Every single one of them freezes on the movie at the start of the game.
Any advice?
FIFA for FPSE
Does Anyone have a working Fifa on FPSE? So far I have tried FIFA98 Road to the World Cup, it crashes after selecting teams while loading. I also tried FIFA2002, it is somewhat playable, but randomly crashes FPSE and brings you back to the android home page.

That's so weird since PES does exactly the same thing. Football games are cursed on FPSE!
I was surprised that mame does not exist for android. I thought mame has been ported to pretty much everything, so surely there must be a version for android right? I know there is a version of mame that plays cp2 games and supports a couple of other types of hardware, but I'm referring to old school games (pac-man, frogger etc).
I'd like there to be a more robust mame for android. Something that supports all the roms as it does on the desktop. Obviously if it's a more modern rom and the cpu of your android device isn't enough for it, then it won't run well.
Again, for me personally it would be mainly the classic arcade games.
Most I can imagine working well, some wouldn't (like say defender just cause of it's control scheme).
Anyway, I'd really like to see this happen, but someone mentioned on another forum that developers don't want to as mame is opensource and they couldn't sell a closed source version. Actually, just reading the mame page it states:
"Redistributions may not be sold, nor may they be used in a commercial product or activity." It also goes on to say the source code would have to be released.
Would a donation fund be in conflict with the above? Hmm, probably so I assume. But again, it would be paying a developer a one-time fee for his service of porting and not the final product per say. Once he/she claims this bounty, it would be free to all others. Can anyone chime in if that would be in conflict?
Would any developer be interested in this? What would be a fair amount for this work? If I started this fund with even a small amount of say 10 dollars, if 10 others did, obviously it would only be 100.00. But maybe after some time 100 would. Would 1000.00 be worth it to a developer to take this task? I have no clue how difficult this would be to port to android (c to java porting). Obviously, some type of custom overlay controls would be needed as well in addition, a touch based frontend for launching the games.
Companies (atari etc) may not like the existence of emulators and I know roms bring up issues and would never be distributed, but emulators alone are completely legal.
Hey woah... Hold up on all the replies. One at a time folks.
I'm a little surprised, no one is interested to see mame on android? After productivity apps it was the first thing I thought of when I thought of gaming on my android. I've waited a while to see if things would happen, so now I thought of this idea.
No one is interested?
You won't be seeing recent versions of MAME running on Android at any point soon. The performance requirements for MAME have gone up drastically as MAME gets more and more accurate with its emulation. As such, you're only going to see older versions of MAME being used in stuff like phones, such as MAME 0.37 or below.
And for someone like you who really wants the older classics, running an older version of MAME would be better for you anyways unless you'd want to see the classics stutter and be almost unplayable.
I haven't been actively following mame development as of late,but I do remember when they changed from sound samples in asteroids and the CPU requurements went up drastically. But that was a unique case of emulating analog circuitry. So I'd be surprised if the requirements went up dramatically for say pacman.
But fine let's say you are right point taken. I would have no qualms with mame . 35 or whatever. But again few seem interested.
Besides the ones in the market?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/jrioni-arcade-full-version/com.jrioni.jarcade
Or this?
http://g-arcade.appspot.com/
g arcade only supports:
Capcom CPS-1,CPS-2,Cave
Neo Geo (make sure neogeo.zip(bios file) is in the same folder)
Taito, Toaplan
That's the one I was referring to initially. Not interested in that.
jroini I saw before and was under the impression it only supported modern hardware similar to g arcade but it seems I was wrong. However it is a commercial app and not in compliance with the mame license. From it's blog:
http://jrioni-arcade.blogspot.com/
Starting at the next release, Jarcade will no longer contain MAME core engine in order to be compliant with MAME license.
I'll separate all android related work from MAME core engine including UI/touch control, opengl rendering, screen preview/Cabinet, video/sound filter, file handling...etc.
There will be a separate MAME engine APK which will be open-source and free to download from Market.
What does this mean to you?
You'll need to download and install MAME APK separately.
Again, this is needed in order to continue supporting the project.
I hope you understand

So it sounds like mame will be free and what he'll be charging for is the android gui?
Anyway, I'll look into this option further.
See my recent post. I have ported my iOS mame 0.37b5 Mame4all port called iMAME4all to Android. It's called MAME4droid. No stutter with correct hw without filtering
Let you play all classic
Hey! I just came here to spread the word! I just found this yesterday.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Just some comments. Not really related to your app but I have roms of a modern set and having difficulty converting my roms. I believe I understand how clrmamepro works (although I think the interface is clunky) and I didn't see any errors in conversion (using your dat file) but yet over half my roms won't work saying they are missing files. I used to use a different program for rom sets but I can't recall it's name as it has been a number of years. Even if it's still around, I assume you don't have a dat file for other rom conversion utilities. I can't recall if dat files are universal. I guess I could grab an exe of mame 37 and use that as it's reference.
On your program, great stuff! My only complaint is the actual controls unfortunately. And this may not be a fault of your software, rather my inability to get accustomed to touch based controls. Even in the menu to select a game I keep accidentally trigger a left or right and go down a full page. I have to be calm and patient just to select a game. I'm not sure how this can be resolved though. There is a dead zone option but no fine tuning. Maybe that would help. Or even an option to scale the control size? I realize that may start to overlap the game, but for good controls I'd sacrifice that.
What I think does need changing is the threshold for trackballs. I tried playing attaxx (a turn based game, so it doesn't require twitch skills) and even on the lowest trackball sensitivity setting I couldn't play it.
Also, is there a way to get into the dip switches of games? (difficulty, # of lives etc).
Finally, some games I prefer the bootleg version. If I have them in a merged set does it recognize that? For ex, with galaxians I prefer super galaxians that has the alternate board layout. Do I need to make separate rom set for that and not a merged set? Also, galaxians enemies shots seem to flicker more than I recall in mame on a pc. But a minor gripe.
Anyway, my only real gripe is the controls and that may just be my inexperience with touch based controls. But man, try and play frogger (which requires someone to let go and and then re-push in a direction) I could barely get a frogger to his home!
Regardless, thanks again. Android really needed this!
MAME is meant to be played on with buttons and real joysticks.
Yes I realize that, however things might be able to be changed to make the controls more usable. The trackball sensitivity definitely needs adjusting. And maybe a tweak for the deadzone option (like set a threshold value?).

Hello xda members, this is my first post ever on this website, so if its wrong at all please let me know.
I am wondering if anyone knows how to hack the game Baseball Superstars 2012.
Ive tried using gamecih to hack the g-points but the lowest results i get for the g-point value after searching for it, changing it, and then repeating process is 25. When i do it again, it says 0 values found. I looked for a hack for the other baseball superstar games, baseball superstars 2 and baseball superstars 2011, and nonone was able to find one except a game save in korean language with max g points. I tried looking for the save in the data/data/ but couldnt find anything at all. I hope someone knows how to point me in the right direction, thanks for any help
Baseball superstars 2 g point hack
you can definitely edit g points with gamecih in baseball superstars 2.
the trick is to buy the g point items with the negative sum, you know.. minus a minus equals a plus?
look into the attachment
Baseball superstars 2012 hack
The principle is the same.....
when i had the korean apk(the first release) i could hack into it
but the file isn't available... blocked i guess..
the free version of baseball superstars 2012 from android market
works till the "changing the value" stage
but it is blocked in such a way that whenever i change the value
the damn thing quits on me!
i thought since the game requires internet connection, the game will quit
upon doing funny stuff on it,
but even when i got hold of offline apk(workable with airplane mode)
it still doesn't work..
i guess gamevil is getting smart...
P.S
i did quite a lot of research and i guess it has something to do with
the .xml files in the data folder....
data/data/com.gamevil.bb2012.global
and
dbdata/databases/com.gamevil.bb2012.global
the files there are so encrypted i don't get a thing...
hope someone capable will hack into them soon
same here, been looking on how to do it and gamecih 3.0 gets detected by this game now :-(

Gameguardian usually isn't detected, and if GameCIH doesn't work I usually opt for that. Otherwise I pull my game saves out of the /data/data folder (They're almost always in shared_prefs) and use a hex editor the dirty way. There may be multiple values or files to check, and oftentimes the displayed number is different from the actual value. It may display 20, but in reality the value could be stored as 20x8, this is common to prevent easy memory hacking. Try starting from an unknown value, and using instead of new values or +/- use the ! and the = sign to eventually narrow it down. Hope you have good luck with it Havn't found an unhackable android game yet (Aside from the MMO's, which I still managed to get hp hacks on most of.)

Hope you have good luck with it Havn't found an unhackable android game yet (Aside from the MMO's, which I still managed to get hp hacks on most of.)

Sorry for the 'general post' .. but again, I don't have enough posts to have access to the developer section.
Hopefully this will make someone happy.
After playing with Quake 2..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097092
I took a stab at Quake 1. Code was only slightly harder to port because of the old MGL lib. Anyway.. here it is.. Quake 1 (with optional software OpenGL support --- VERY SLOW)
Game runs very well (non-opengl) and full screen support works nicely.
Because its difficult to extract, I've included the PAK file from the _demo_. If anyone has any issues with that, please contact me and I'll replace it with a binary package. As is, you should be able to just extract it and run WinQuake.exe (or glquake.exe if you'd prefer a slower experience!)
Enjoy all!
I just had to register to say: I love you, man. :good:
Awesome! Really thank you for your work!:good: I just finished the first episode without bug.
Btw, what files do I need to replace if I have the full version of Quake 1? Just pak0.pak or the entire id1 folder (except the saves)?
Nice. Played Q1 opengl online a long time

You should be able to just copy the entire ID1 folder from the Quake install. I'm not sure if the saves will work or not.. I haven't tried.
Enjoy!
That's AWESOME.
I remember playing Q1 so much on business trips on my crappy laptop so many years ago.
I'll have to try this out with my surface.
thanks!
Awesome! This is really great. I'm also trying to get enough posts to be able to participate in the discussion / porting of stuff to Windows RT. It's great to see such a thriving development / porting community arise so quickly!
Superb
This runs incredibly, I thought it would be fiddly, but it just works. I just need to enable mouselook and I am all set. I am also keen to get my ten posts up and engage on the dev thread. I have several things that I think will port over quite nicely.
I can't control the window that it opened in. Can't maximize (running in small window) and most importantly, can't close the game. All the buttons in the upper right of the window wont work.
Please help. Thanks.

does it work with controller (xbox)
has anyone tried using the d3d wrapper as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42277354&postcount=29 ?
I don't have a surface, but i've been quite interested in getting one as the prices are < $200 now.
If the surface only had STEAM support I would have gotten it day 1.
