I was recently interested in installing some equivalent of DosBox on my GPD XD (handheld with Android). Unfortunately, immediately after installing it I'm "thrown" into console and I have no idea what shall I do to configure it properly, launch games etc. I see that on the upper part of the screen there are small icons of joystick and keyboard (second one is allowing me to implement some commends by "virtual" keyboard, I guess).
I admit that on my Windows PC I was using D-Fend (and games from GOG "wrapped" in DosBox), so I'm totally rookie with configuring DosBox "manually" (I was doing it in the past, but I totally forgot it, and it was mostly about cycles), not to mention that I don't know if there are some differences between aFreeBox and DosBox (and certainly there are some).
Could someone please help me (explaining it in the way, which I could understand), how can I configure aFreeBox, to:
1.Assign D-Pad and ABXY/other buttons to most "important" in DOS games keys (D-Pad for arrows, ABXY for ctrl/alt/space,"start" button for enter (or escape) etc.)
2.Where should I implement folders with game's files
3.How should I found proper File's path after copying game's file.
And generally, how should I move "inside" this program.
P.S. I'm sorry if I'm asking about something obvious, but I admit - while I had (in the past) some patience to read from various forums and try various things on "original" DosBox, I simply don't have patience for apps on Android, due to the fact that with touch keyboard everything is taking me much more time and I'm really clumsy with touch keyboard. I'll be extremely grateful for help!
