Hi
I recently got a new android tablet and immediately put Dosbox Turbo on it. I put Master of Orion 2 on it and Might and Magic Clouds of Xeen on it with no problem. Then I tried Dungeon Keeper and hit a roadblock. When I first tried it, I could get the title screen to load, then immediately the red CD screen would pop up asking me to insert the CD.
I discovered the problem was the game.inst wasn't loading. That's the file that mounts game.gog as the CD but also attaches some music files. I found I could work aound this 2 ways, either mount the game.gog file directly and skip the game.inst file completely or edit the game.inst file and erase the music files.
If I do either of these and get the game.gog file mounted, I can get past the title screen and can watch the intro video. However as soon as the video is over, the same thing happens - the red CD pops up and asks me to insert the disk. I'm not sure what the problem is at this point. I assume I probably have an incorrect setting somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Everything seems to be mounted properly. I'm also worried it may the the Dosbox program I'm using, Dosbox Turbo. From what I could tell it seems the be the best android dosbox program out there, but maybe it doesn't support this game properly. There is another dosbox program out there, AnDosBox. I was thinking about trying it and seeing if it would work. However I've already paid for DosBox Turbo and I'd hate to pay for another program if it wouldn't help.
Does anyone have any ideas?
