Hi!

I'm trying to get moo2 running on my samsung windows tablet.

-Game boots fine.
-touchscreen is , for lack of a better word, not syncing with the cursor in dosbox. I touch somewhere, and it clicks an entirely different part of the screen.
-it is not random; I keep touching one area, and the dosbox cursor, or pointer, is off by the same amount each rime.

Hope I am explaining ok.
Any suggestions?

If it's not meant for tablets then why to bother with touch screen?
See if this Win 8 guide can help.

To be fair, touch-screen is ALWAYS going to be heavily imprecise (unless you have a screen the size of a wall). It's a reason mobile/tablet games have huge buttons for you to touch.

Calibration can help with this, but it's certainly not my preferred method to play a game. I actually got a little annoyed multiple times playing Monument Valley due to weak controls. Thankfully that game being a puzzle and very casual let me beat it in a reasonable period of time (at least when the batter of my tablet wasn't dead)

If you're using a mouse and the mouse is off as well, i'd almost say try changing the graphical settings on how dosbox handles it. I know for HuniePop the 4:3 resolution really screwed with the mouse cursor offset too for my 16:9 screen, but that was while trying to go full screen; To which i'd say try windowed mode, and the stretch/zoom options to either normal2x or normal3x depending on resolution.
There are very few non-Windows-Store-"app" PC games that I would attempt to play using my laptop's touchscreen, and games running in DOSBox definitely wouldn't make the list. :P
