I downloaded Dosbox Turbo for android
and I tried to install Lands of Lore with this command

MOUNT C C:\
C:
CD DOS\LOLCD
INSTALL

But that won't work because Source Disk and Destination Disk are both disk C:

If I try to mount the game files to act like they are on the disk D

MOUNT C C:\
MOUNT D C:\DOS\LOLCD -T CDROM
D:
INSTALL

That should work but once I write the second line it bring up an error "Directory C:\DOS\LOLCD doesn't exist."

does anyone know how to fix that, it works just fine on my Desktop but when I try to do it on Dosbox Turbo it won't find the directory
which I'm sure is there

You can't use Windows mountings on Android device.
"Mount c c:\" should be "mount c /sdcard" instead.
And I highly recommend NOT to use your sd card's root directory btw.

Create a folder called "DOSGames" on your sd card, and use "mount c /sdcard/dosgames".

of course 😒
I thought my sd card was labeled as C:\ for the Dosbox purposes, whole this time, and now when you've said I feel kinda dumb for not noticing it, ..so obvious, thanks mate you acually helped me a great deal 😉

ps. why is it so important not to mount your hard drive/sd card
and use a subdirectory instead? well, might be a pretty common question, I'll check the FAQ..

In general it's simply not a good idea to give emulated DOS apps full access to your host's non-DOS filesystem. They weren't designed to deal with that, and it only puts your system at risk (on the off chance that something goes wrong).
