It transforms touchscreen into big multitouch touchpad with one finger tap for left button two fingers tap for right button etc.
That was the first thing I tried, actually. It's very configurable and nice, but I couldn't really play any games with it for a few reasons:
You can't play DOSBox (or ScummVM) in full screen and bring up on-screen keyboard.
Swiping from edges and bringing charms or multitasking menu (which is easy to accidentally invoke) minimize/restore both DOSBox and ScummVM which is not only annoying but often leads to graphical problems and need to restart the game.

In fact, none of the solutions out there are satisfactory - which was a big motivating factor in my SDL fix.
