CD-ROM games on Android?

[MaxxFawver]

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.

You would have to explain what you mean by CD-ROM, what system specifically is this old PC games?

Old Windows games, I guess. Myst, Riven, Of Light and Darkness, Half-Life... Old stuff like that.

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.

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.

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.

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.
