Since GOG games come with their own DOSBox installation, my guess would be that it's relative to the DOSBox directory within the game directory, since that is the DOSBox that the game runs from. You will need to figure out the path of the DATA folder relative to the DOSBox installation on your Android phone/tablet, or make it a full path instead, however those look in the Android file system.
I tried adding that line above to the autoexec.bat on Android, like this:ĭOS says directory doesn't exist and I still get the message about needing to insert disk 1.Īny other thoughts? ".\DATA\" is a relative path. There is a DATA folder in the Sp圜raft folder, it has mostly. That's the only reference I see to a d drive. In the nf files that came with the GOG install, there is this line: iso files or anything that seems like a disk image in the Sp圜raft folder or subfolders thereof. I think it is true in your device though, the Nexus 7. You need that.Ħb Very important, /storage/emulated/0/ should be the path to folder DOS, but that ain't true on all devices. The line above means you're telling DOSBox to assign the contents of folder /storage/emulated/0/ to drive C. Good luck! Appending to what the uruguayan vampire said, which is exactly what you should do, here's a small correction and extra info.:Ħa On step 6, the line mount c:/storage/emulated/0/ actually should have a space between c: and /storage, or it won't work. Edit the autoexec.bat to tell the emulator where the game is installed and which is the game executable file:

So you may delete all those files to save storage space.ģ - Create a folder on your Android device for your DOS games I named it "DOS".Ĥ - Copy the "BChess" folder from your PC ("GOG\BChess") to the Android folder ("DOS\BChess").ĥ - Install DOSBox Turbo and DOSBox Manager.Ħ - Run DOSBox Manager and create a named "Battle Chess". Example path: "C:\GOG\BChess"Ģ - To play on Android you don't need the windows files, like the uninstaller, icons, documents, etc.
