We appreciate any rating, comments and suggestions, but in case you need some answer, please check faq or email us directly.

========
-Portrait and Landscape mode with/without resize.
-Sound support
-Software and Hardware keyboard input
-Support entering special keys like Ctrl, ESC and Function keys
-Support Virtual TrackPad, Virtual Joystick, and Pen mode
-Support mouse control with physical Trackball or Mouse
Regarding arrows and special keys(like ctrl, alt, shift): AnDOSBox is designed to work with external input solution, seek out and use anything you see fit. We also built an "Extra layout" plugin for our Flit Keyboard. (see AnDOSBox home page for details). For enhanced gaming keypad, please check out our "GameKeyboard" app.
Known Issues
============
-On some device it failed to call out the software keyboard. In this case, try holding the "menu" hardware key, or turn on (menu->input mode->show keyboard fix).
-In some program sound is broken (stop after awhile) when Speed Patch C is turned on.
-Some devices with physical keyboard failed to input additional characters by pressing Alt+Key. Please refer to FAQ General Usage #1.
-It's said that some high-end snapdragon based devices have poor performance. We never received an official report, please contact developer in this case.
If you have problem running a particular DOS program, please check with DOSBox Team for compatibility before report to us.

Really nice. I would like to see the delete key in the special keys list, and a feature that uses the cam button to toggle between trackpad and scroll

Great DOSBox port Very fast: makes use of M-HT's dynrec ARM backend update from the official DOSBox forum (the same patch is used in DOSBox Turbo), and this really kicks ass: Doom and Warcraft 2: 20000 cycles (13000 before) with flawless sound playback; Worms+, Ultima 7, Heretic run with 13000 cycles instead of 9000 now (Galaxy S @1.3 GHz, Darky's ROM 10.4.2, Semaphore kernel 2.5.0). AnDOSBox has been around for a long time and therefore is very mature. Everything's smooth and polished, and it features the best mouse emulation of all available ports.

Very good Could do with a nice 'manager' like dosbox turbo for launching different games, but I find this one to be less prone to crashing. Can't get the joypad addon to work tho

Permissions Unlike the opposition, this doesn't need network permission, which is excellent! Otherwise much the same. TurboC, TurboBasic, QBasic & Fractint all run nicely on my HTC Sensation, BTW; as well as the SIMH emulators (an emulator inside an emulator!) if you remember the PDP 8 and PDP 11...

Awesome! Who would have thought you couls play Jazz Jackrabbit on a tablet let alone Leisuresuit Larry. I just have to figure out how to use the game keyboard to save my progress and I will be in heaven.

Do not purchase this app. The developer is breaching the GPL. I urge you to not support this behavior.
