Not a photoshop.

This is A Final Unity running on my motorola triumph via Dosbox for

Android. aDOSBox ver 0.2.5

Borjis Loading takes a minute and it runs like its on a 386 but it works, including

I made an .iso image of the cd, copied to the micro sd card and voila! I got
star wars rebel assault to work too in the same way.

Here's 25th Anniversary & Judgement Rites.

Both play smoother than Final Unity.

Just Amazing.....you are carrying about in your pocket what i had to put into
the boot of my car to bring home, back in 1995, when i bought a 386 SX PC
to play ST 25 anniversary.

Lol...
I already theorized about this several months ago and knew about Dosbox
for Android.
I just never got around to do it on my phone.

Deks Congrats.

At least now we can have QUALITY games that suck the battery.

good question! I actually have not tried that yet.

Borjis
Commodore for the interplay titles:
Commodore It's turned o in the screen caps but there is a virtual joypad on screen with
Joined: Mar 16, 2003 4 re buttons and left right up down. I use that, although to tab key from
the screen to the bridge you have to bring up the android keyboard for a
second.

Also, have to minimize the game, to open a scanned image of the star
maps when warping to a new mission.

The speech audio is kinda popping in JR but of the three games 25th is
almost awless.

I expect these to improve on the next release of aDosbox

Borjis, Aug 15, 2011 #12

OP, did you have to tweak any settings in dosbox.conf or elsewhere to get
it to play Final Unity smoothly?

I am on a dual core evo3d and everything is barely moving

random Thanks!

change the memory to 16mb.

cycle way down on the cpu cycles until the audio stutter stops. (around
2600 cycles worked on my phone with a 1ghz snap dragon cpu)

Borjis thats about as good as it gets for now. It is slow and cumbersome...barely

playable I'd say at this point. star trek 25th almost runs perfectly though.

with scummvm these games I tried run awlessly and I mean absolutely

I'm hoping the next release of aDosbox will squeeze more cpu power
through. There's plenty of cpu cycles in these higher end smartphones to
run these games well, as demonstrated through scummvm.

you will need some sort of le manager for android. I use ES File Explorer.

rst o, use google and nd a free software app that can create .iso images
from a disc. Nero is one that I know works.

then copy that .iso le to your sd card.

On mine, I made a folder called dos to put batch les in (will explain that as
we get to it) and an iso folder to put the disc images in.

/sdcard/dos/iso/tng.iso

I keep the name as short as possible and all lower case...keep it simple.

download and install the aDosbox 0.2.5 version found here:

http://androiddosbox.appspot.com/

edit the dosbox-0.74.conf located in:

/sdcard/app-data/org.hystudio.android.dosbox/.dosbox

change these lines:

memsize=8 (change to 16)
cycles=auto (change to 2600)

at the very bottom end of the le add:

mount c: /sdcard/dos
c:

now save it as: dosbox.conf

http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/sttngafinalunityonmyphone.146286/ 6/10
10/25/2016 STTNG:AFinalUnity.....onmyphone!|TheTrekBBS

when you launch dosbox there are options to congure it to use a custom
.conf le,
you will want to point it at the dosbox.conf you just altered.

now run dosbox.

bring up the keyboard type in:

imgmount d c:\iso\tng.iso -t iso (then hit enter)

then type:
d:\ (hit enter)
install (hit enter)

this will install nal unity. I installed it to the dos folder which is c:\ in
dosbox.
so it ended up in c:\sttng

all you really need to do after this point is launch the game.

I made a batch le to automatically mount the iso image and launch tng.
This is also in the Dos folder on the sdcard.

I made it on my pc then just copied it over to make it easier.

It's called tng.bat

the text in it is:

imgmount d c:\iso\tng.iso -t iso

c:\
cd sttng
sttng

so all you would need to do now is launch dosbox and type in:
tng

then the image will mount and launch the game.

this works for all the other games as well.

Found out if you disable music and bump cycles up from 2600 to 3600
judgement rites runs much smoother and audio popping goes away
