NO WARRANTY
Note that there are now warranties here. You are using your phone to emulate a PC that's running System Shock. This is an experimental and very resource intensive process, even if it is an old game. So stay with a low resolution. If your phone gets hot, use the DOSBox Turbo menu to quit and give it a rest. If your phone dies, throw it on the floor and start cursing. But don't expect me to pay for it. You have been warned.

Haha, yes you are. I figured that someone must have tried this before, but I couldn't find anything. #2
I should add that the setup with those 4 buttons that I described above works on a small phone screen, but if you can have a keyboard AND the game on screen in a comfortable way, you're certainly better off.

What kind of fps are you getting?On my Samsung Galaxy S5, it's not as smooth as I hoped it to be (on DOSBox Turbo).
Is there a 3DFX/Glide version of System Shock? Or how to get filtering? (because the SSP-normal has dgvesa/dgvoodoo/glide files).... Any other ways to make System Shock run smoother in DOSBox Turbo. I mean, more accurate/smoother mouse control, especially for navigating the GUI/HUD, picking up stuff, and shooting.
From a folder binary compare with SSP-normal, the CYBSTRNG.RES file is different. What was changed? (same goes for CDSHOCK.EXE).
Also, I would like to use the virtual joystick as my WASD keys. Would I need to remap the XCYB.CFG to use up, left, right, down keys? Probably use joystick button 1 to fire (right-mouse), and button 0 to pick up (double-left click). That gives us the top 4 buttons for switching weapons, etc.
