But we still have to mount the images somehow, and thus we create a w95.bat file.
This time we will not fiddle with the config file. In my case I have two files – w95.img which is Windows and d.img which is Diablo. Download a special fast Win95 build and Diablo image. Now we have to mount a Windows image and a game image, in this case Diablo. Unfortunately, DosBox Turbo is not free and you have to pay for it. Turbo means it’s about 30% faster than normal DosBox. The only DOS Emulator for Android to run a Windows game somewhat decent is DosBox Turbo. After you’re done with nostalgia, you may remove the whole thing.

That’s basically all you can do, as the system is barely usable, and to play games, you need to install shitload of drivers, DirectX, etc, and the speed will be even slower. After it boots, you may savor your nostalgia. If you done everything correctly, aDosBox will automatically boot Win98. Now completely remove the contents, replace them with this,Į: imgmount c e:\win98.img -t hdd -fs fat Go to this folder and make a backup copy of said file. This is where aDosBox keeps its configuration file. Put the w98.img in the root of your internal SD-Card. Let’s try to run an old version of Windows in the emulator – download Windows 98 Lite image.
But that’s DOS games, and Diablo needs Windows. Well, DOS games work fine in the emulator. Yes, that’s how copy protection was done back in the day: you could copy the game, but it will ask you for certain text from specific page in the printed manual, which you normally don’t even think of photocopying.

The game launches, and I even was able to get to the screen where you have to enter some text from the printed manual to confirm you got a legal copy. I know that the name of the game executable is bugs.exe. After copying the game, go back to DosBox, change directory to Dos where our game is and launch the executable. Don’t be afraid of it, despite the old-fashioned look, which personally I greatly enjoy, two-panel file managers is the best thing that happened to personal computers in the last 25 years, and not those coloured pictures for faggots. By the way, I use Far Manager to work with files. Well, let’s create a DOS folder and throw in some old DOS game, like Battle Bugs. By default, DosBox obviously mounts the root of internal SD-Card as drive c. Yes, with your fingers, on the keyboard, send the text command c: to the command prompt and press enter. I first wanted to install gDosBox, but the description says it is based on aDosBox, so lets install aDosBox. Playstore has a bunch of DosBox flavours, some paid, some free. Well, first of all you have to install that emulator.
