Using DosBox on Android

    Hey guys, sorry for the pure beginner question.

    I just put a really old 'championship manager' game onto my android and my laptop by copying and pasting the installed game from my mate's computer.

    On my laptop, I play it through DosBox, so i downloaded this app to my android too.

    To play the game on my laptop, I do the following from the first prompt ....

    - mount c c:\cm2
    - c:
    - cm2

    As this game is just inside the c drive, this works fine.
    However, as I am pretty clueless, I have no idea how to access the same folder in my android's hard drive.

    I'm pretty sure this is a terribly simple thing to do for anyone who knows anything about androids.

    Cheers guys :)

    You'll have to access the SD Card instead I'd imagine, there's no "C" drive on an Android device as such
