    So we have seen Windows 3.1 is possible but what about Windows 98?
     
  2. Okay, got home, my wife had apparently managed to grab and install it on my iPad before it got yanked so I didn't have to transfer purchases. Now I've finally figured out why people are having problems unzipping: the unzip program doesn't like nested directories. It'll only go one directory deep so far as I've been able to tell. Messy. I was able to copy over and unzip Blood. Unfortunately this is a hacked version and the decompressor only works in Windows. :p But I was only able to unzip it when the archive was stored in C:\blood\ but failed to find it if it was in C:\games\blood\. Incidentally, case did not matter. Upper or lower case, it didn't care, as long as it was only one folder deep.

    So I copied over Chasm: The Rift. It works, although at a totally unplayable framerate -- and it worked from a nested directory as long as I unzipped it from a folder one deep.

    Just installed z26 and a boatload of ROMs. Testing now. Looks promising.

    for jailbroken devices, ssh to the folder var/mobile/apps/{idos location}/documents/

    and upload the folders and files there.

    Add a backslash to the beginning of the zip name when using nested directories

    Many many of the turn based classics will work great.

    Sword of Aragon, Roadwar 2000, Warlords, for example.

    Settlers 1 is fairly playable. Settlers 2 on the other hand takes about 3-4 minutes to actually get into the game :(

    I read the last two sentences too late and it seems that I screwed up my dospad.cfg. :eek:

    Seems to be empty (file info on Mac: "2 Bytes", TextEdit shows nothing). Would somebody be so nice and post the text content of the original dospad.cfg ? Thank you very much in advance. (I can't do a re-install on my iPad right now.)

    Delete the file and relaunch the app. iDOS will create a new cfg.

    I guess this will never go back on the store?
     
  15. Yep it was me, wow awesome.

    The memories from TES 1: Arena, Day of Tentacle, LOOM, Monkey Island, all these years!! *Hugs*

    But I never got it because I don't know DOS or have any DOS games :/

    Never mind, these screenshots are epic anyway. :D

    True. Thanks again.
     
  19. I don't think so. Win95 and above requires a 32-bit 486-class processor or better. Since this is based on DOSbox 0.74, only 386 (16-bit) support is included.

    Didn't help. I tried everything -- quotes, full path, relative path, caps, wildcarding, etc. -- but couldn't get it to unzip anything nested more than one folder deep.
