1)a]You will need to have the DosBox Turbo app installed on your Android device. Run the DosBox Turbo app and open the settings menu from either the pull down menu at the Top or left side swiping menu. Go to "DosBox Settings/Advanced DosBox Config" check "Manual Mode".

b]Attention Dosbox Turbo Users there have been some recent changes to the default directory paths. Due to these changes you will now need to change the directory path back to the old default or place the dosbox config into the new location in step 4. You can change the default location now by selecting "Config location" right under where you selected manual mode. You will see a directory path similar to the one below. Note the beginning of the path can vary depending on the type of device used.

Default manual mode config file directory path:
/path to sdcard/android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/files/dosbox.conf

Remove the part from between the dosbox.conf and the root directory of your internal memoryAka the primary external SDcard:
Before:
/path to sdcard/android/data/com.fishstix.dosbox/files/dosbox.conf

After:
/path to sdcard/dosbox.conf

3)DOS is no longer included with newer versions of Fallout 1(GOG). You will need to add support for it by doing the following:

Download and extract the following Fallout 1 DOS files below. You will need to add these all of these DOS files into the fallout 1 folder or it will not run.

4)Download and extract the Fallout 1 configs files .zip below.
-Locate the fallout 1 config folder, here you will find two different Fallout 1 configs to choose from. Copy and paste the "fallout.cfg" config file from the "Config With video & music sounds" into your Fallout 1 game folder.
-(Optional) If you have a slower device or experience sound/performance issues use the file from "Config Without video & music sounds" instead. Copy and paste the "fallout.cfg" file into your Fallout 1 game folder.

Download Fallout 1 & DosBox Turbo Config files. Notes:For all devices, 256MB RAM, 8MBVGA, cycles set to default Max, Auto.exe:

5)Look Inside the Fallout 1 configs folder. The second folder called "DosBox Config" has a modified Dosbox Turbo Auto exe Config File. You will need to copy and paste it into the root directory of your Android device along with the Fallout 1 folder. Make sure you have done step 1 or this will not work and you will have to recopy the file after redoing step 1.
Now you are ready to launch the DosBox Turbo app and begin your adventure into the Wasteland.

Note: If you're installing this from android you may require a file manager program to move and extract the files, I recommend X-plore File Manager.
