Tomb Raider 3D HD (s60v3)

INTRODUCTION: Welcome Back
Symbian users, we continue to find
some awesome games! :)
After days of researching, i finally
succeeded running old PC games on my
Nokia N95, which is called
DOS games. To play these games we will
use Dosbox emulator. First game that i
tested was the classic Ms Pac-Man PC
game then i continued to test a 3D
game and the first one was Tomb
Raider (as shown on the picture
above). This game speed is not so bad
but the gameplay is awesome, similar
to PlayStation One version. There are
also great PC games like GTA, Tekken,
Blood, Need For Speed and many more.
The format of these games is in .EXE
format. We will test that later and
bring it to you. Now let's play Tomb
Raider!! You need a Symbian OS9.1 -
9.3 smartphone both 320x240 or
240x320 with a processor of 369 MHz
ARM 11 or more. Your phone must have
more than 64Mb of RAM memory to run
the game very good. Game is only in
landscape mode but it shouldn't be a
problem as it uses best fullscreen
graphics. In portrait it would look
crappy though. You may need PIPS
Installer and SDL files to run Dosbox.
As most of Symbian users fail to run
Dosbox games, i'll share this with you.
Follow my installation method below, it
can be a bit difficult but i'm sure you
will succeed.
Yours, AndroSattar

Installation Method:
*STEP 1: Before we start, first make sure
you have no less than 150Mb of storage
left on your memory card. So free some
memory. First download the Dosbox
emulator.zip with configuration files
inside. Install it in memory card, if
certificate error appears then try to
change year date back as you know until
it installs. This is Dosbox v0.72 and the
only one that runs 3D games. Install but
don't open it yet.
*STEP 2: Now open the zip Dosbox
archive again, and extract these 3 files
''dosbox.conf" and "premapper.txt" and
"mapper.txt" to your Phone Memory root
folder. Yes in phone memory, not
memory card otherwise the emulator
won't open. These 3 are important files,
you need not open them. If you use X-
Plore, they should be extracted to C:/
Data/
as this is your phone's root memory
shown in X-Plore.
*STEP 3: Now let's head to the rom
method. First download and install X-
Plore software, which is important. Then
download the rom
Tomb_Raider_Eidos_by_GRAN.zip. Inside
it is a lot of files.
*STEP 4: Go to your memory card root
memory and create a folder named
"doswin". Inside doswin create another
folder named "win31". Inside win31
create another folder named "Cadi". So
that the directory will look like E:/
doswin/win31/Cadi/
*STEP 5: Open the
Tomb_Raider_Eidos_by_GRAN.zip archive
and Mark All files. Use your phone, not X-
Plore. Unmark the file named
"INSTALLT.EXE" only, and extract all
marked files to folder E:/doswin/win31/
Cadi/
*STEP 6: Done. Now we need to extract
the file "INSTALLT.EXE". Open X-Plore
and open the archive file again
Tomb_Raider_Eidos_by_GRAN.zip and
extract the file "INSTALLT.EXE" to folder
E:/doswin/win31/Cadi/
*STEP 7: Tutorial completed!!! Go to your
Dosbox emulator and open it. Wait for the
logo Eidos to appear. Game will begin!!!
Have fun playing :)

KEY SETTINGS:
There are no key settings in the emulator
but they can be set in the game. On Tomb
Raider main menu, open the Controls
menu and click right. In User Keys click
down, and define the keys of your choice
on the right side of the menu. Click OK
and use the number keys for Jump, Roll,
Action, Look and Inventory. Leave the
left side as they are already directional
keys for the game. Note that the game is
only in landscape 320x240 but works on
240x320 too, it cannot be changed to
portrait, landscape is the best view. To
quit emulator you must press the red key.
To make Lara jump over a wall, hold
Jump and Action keys then keep pressing
Up. Lara will jump and get over small or
big walls.

MORE GAMES NOTE: If you want to
download more games like these then go
to www.doperoms.com and enter the Dos
section. But before playing that new
game, you need to create a new folder in
win31 for that game.

Then open X-Plore
edit the "dosbox.conf" file.
For example:
-Doom.zip create a folder Doom in win31
folder then extract the files to E:/doswin/
win31/Doom/

-You must understand that a file named
DOOM.EXE is the rom filename.

-So open X-Plore and edit "dosbox.conf".
Change the line to
cd c:\win31\Doom
doom.exe

-That's it. Now go to Dosbox emulator and
open it. Play Doom. You can also change
the conf back to its original Tomb Raider
name as it was, to play Tomb Raider. You
can enable sound by editing conf file
change "nosound=true" to
"nosound=false". But sound could cause a
game to lag. Please leave the other lines
because editing them will not make
Dosbox work. Enjoy!!
