(Part 2)
To access the game, I launched the DOSBox emulator, and entered -cd game\arena\(the game file itself, which I forget the name of)- To find which file is the actual game, look at it on the computer, and it should be the one that's labeled -app- or ending with. exe, i think. Also, you might need to install the game if it says -you must run this on windows 32- or something. To do this, just double click and follow the instructions on your computer. I hope this helps.

Ah. I wish I had my Nexus with me (it's getting repaired, because I can't exactly remember. I think, though, that I made a new folder just in the device itself (or SD card, if that's what you're working with. To access it, launch the DOSBox emulator, and change the directory (cd) to wherever the game is stored. For example, I wanted to play Arena, so I set up a -Game- folder in my Nexus 7 (inside the virtual SD card it has) and put Arena's game folder inside.

-700gsteak Actually, you're wrong on both counts. I fixed the mouse cursor issue, it was just incorrectly implemented and needed calibration. And DOS has had capitalization since the beginning, why else would there be a shift or caps key? Sure, the OS itself ignores caps in the command line and such, but to say that's the reason it doesn't recognize caps here is absurd. Once again, this has been fixed since the making of this video. It was simply a feature lacking from this emulator.

-DylanMayhew Yeah, I was really surprised to see PS1 and N64 games running on the thing with ease! I know what you mean about not being able to install to micro SD cards, I had a BB before this and the app space was pitiful. So freaking thankful that you can install directly to the mSD card on the Galaxy (for most apps!

thats kinda cool, even more cool that the phone can handle N64 games and PS1 and even DS games, would not mind seeing that, but my old blackberry bold can't do anything like that I am sure, plus the amount of memory it gives for apps/games is pitiful. and you can't use the micro SD card to hold apps/games. sigh.

Nice! I had no Idea dosbox worked on these platforms. I'm getting the playstation phone when it comes out and Dosbox should be fantastic on it since it has all the buttons and the touch analogue sticks which really allow you to get great controls on games that require it. And it runs android.

One day I will likely try and tackle this but by that point I probably just use a Windows Tablet. I tried but just got frustrated with dosbox on android. I am fine with playing more console like games on android which seem to be much easier and simpler to just pick up and play on the go.

-CrAzY3AGL3 Yup, DosBox PSP is pretty decent! The lack of any kind of keyboard control is what really made it near-useless for me though. It's just maddeningly clunky either configuring a virtual keyboard or mapping things to the buttons. Touchscreen helps massively.

The reason the mouse is off is because if the cursor is right under your finger than you wouldnt be able to see where it is! And the reason why you can't type in caps is because dos is a non case sensitive os. So the use of the caps lock/shift key is redundant.

-Kataang102 If you're used to Vegas and it does what you need, stick with it. There's no reason to switch to Premiere unless you're not satisfied with what you have. I like Premiere because that's what I've always used in professional and collegiate situations.
