So you can in theory copy the folder over to your phone and run it on there. And there's OpenMW, which uses an open source Android engine to open the game files. So I've become curious which ones people might have tried to get up and running on their phones, how they did it, and how the process went for them.įor instance, Morrowind often goes on sale on Steam and is pretty tiny (256 MB for the GOTY edition). See, I'm thinking about what sorts of things that a person might do with an AYN Odin handheld, and it occurred to me that this was one possible use. Im pretty sure that once it gets possible to run win98 in Android with good perfomance once smartphones get that powerfull it could be very posible to play civ3 on emulators like this.I know that there are a couple of ways to run older Windows games on Android, and I was just curious what experiences people have had doing so. Like 2 months ago tried magic dosbox, because one friend told me about it, and now i wonder why there is no a good port of civ 1 for Android, i mean if its possible to emulate civ 1, and im pretty sure civ2, (since theres people already emulating games like doom, comandos, age of empires, dungeon keeper, etc) Why there is not already a good android port of many games of that time, including of course civ series. Like a year ago i tried dosbox turbo, to run civ1 and honestly got pretty disapointed, since playing it, feelt really weird. But im certainly sure, this app is the Best option to emulate many dos and win9x games. Im not in any way related to the magic dosbox developer, nor trying to advertise his product.

Its also posible to create shortcuts to documents related to the game for easy access.Īnd of course theres a keyboard for those commands that are not used that often and are not worth the space in the main layer In fact the whole layout was created by a guy in the magic dosbox Forum. This is one of the layouts with the most used commands, but as i said you can modify this to suit your needs. Theres also the option to swipe in the direction you want to move your screen, if you press the center of the joystick it centers the screen in the active unit. The joystick is also used to move the screen like you would do using ur mouse, you just toggle between one function or the other. Thats the main layout, with the joystick you move ur units as using ur numpad. Here are two screenshots of how it looks.

Its based on dosbox 0.74, i havent tried to setup civ2, since like dosbox it requires first the install of win95 and then run civ2 over it. I have been using it to play civ 1 and so far it has worked great. Theres another option to run civ2 on Android and i think it may be the Best one, since it allow the user to make its own layout with personalized buttons, and even using layers for this buttons, instead of using a physical keyboard or a emulated windows keyboard. That will affect anyone who like the Civ series.

Then a Kindle becomes almost a full tablet and some people 'root' them and a cheap device really is close to a tablet. Well then the version of Linux was suffice to handle running Civ 2 but the process was cryptic. These are for reading ebooks but have internet use and apps. What happened was very low end Kindles and Nooks were sold to millions who could not justify a full blown tablet. Thousands and thousands of people want this. An ap made strictly to create a Windows 3.11 partition just to accommodate this deep desire. The whole reason Aemula was made was to facilitate Civ 2 use and mods.

Why? Because retrogaming is HUGE (not just GOG which is extremely popular but 75 large sites) and has been huge for years as devices allowed portable gaming that was complex.
