CD-ROM games on Android?

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?

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.
