The unit seemed to lack some frames of animation all the same, it looked like just non-crazy mouse helped you to get it as more responsive.

But, as said, I might just sucked at comparing. If it's really faster, I wonder what code changes helped. Damn Android kids, couldn't they document their patches?! How anyone is supposed to track changes from mainstream Dosbox in the mess that ADosbox/AnDosbox code is? Gitorious doesn't bite...

Well.. There is a new DosBox app for Android now: DosBox Turbo
And this one really stands out!!

https://sites.google.com/site/dosboxturbo/

From the website:
https://sites.google.com/site/dosboxturbo/gpl
GPL Questions:
  • Where can I get the source?

Per the terms of the GPL, the source code is provided along with the binary APK that I distribute on the Google Play marketplace.
  • Why isn't DosBox Turbo free?

The small fee supports development of new features and enhancements to make an even better product. It also allows me to support, you, the users by providing bug fixes and new feature requests as well as e-mail support. As long as there is demand, I will continue to regularly add new features and enhancements to DosBox Turbo.
