MaxxFawver Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Does anyone know if it possible to run cd-rom games on Launchbox for Android. I am using an AYN Odin Pro. With this latest release, 1.5, it makes me wonder if I can install and play my old cd-rom games. Just not sure how to do it. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

MaxxFawver Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 Old Windows games, I guess. Myst, Riven, Of Light and Darkness, Half-Life... Old stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they ran on DOS, which i know Half-Life did not, but i dont know about the rest then no. DOS games will run in DOS-BOX though.

MaxxFawver Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 I saw that in the update. I'm just hoping to be able to play old Windows CD-ROM games also. Maybe they will incorporate that in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not possible, you would need a Windows emulator, its nothing to do with Launchbox supporting it its that a Windows emulator for Android is not a thing that exists.

Yes, sadly, playing Windows games on your Android device is unavailable for the moment (and probably won't be available for the foreseeable future), because of a lack of Windows emulators. Really old Windows games can sometimes run in certain versions of DOSBox, but it's not exactly a smooth experience, and I doubt that any of those listed games would run.

MaxxFawver Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 I do believe that I can install Windows on my Odin. I was just hoping to keep all the games on my device to one frontend. Oh well. Thank you for the feedback everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
