Universal iDOS 2 - DOS Emulator (by Litchie)

Use the file sync option at the bottom of the app tab in itunes after you plug your ipod in. Transfer the game files (probably zip files) to your iDos folder. Then launch iDos, unzip the files using DOS commands, and start playing. There is a lot more information in this thread, so just start reading until you find what you need.

 

Have a look at here:

You need to compress the downloaded folders first on your Mac because even if the downloaded file was a zip first—OS X will decompress them automatically after download. So compress first and make a *.zip file manually. Advantage: The original folders will show up after unzipping in iPad/iDOS and you don't mess up your C: drive with a bunch of single files.

I described that here

HINT: Eventually change the filename of the *.zip to 8 characters before uploading to iDOS/iPad. It will be easier to handle because DOS doesn't like long filenames. Don't mix upper and lower case letters in the filename.

 

Hmm how do I use a mouse with this?

Also how do I right click in full screen?

And finally cannon fodder seems to run fine but no sound? Anything I can do?

Installing Win 3.1 now, gonna start playing around.

I just noticed, on the iPad version, with the UI in portrait mode, there's a Windows 9x logo at the top to the right of the floppy drive.

 

The gross looking stickers are a nice touch. Seeing that was one of those "so it wasn't just me" moments.

 

Sweet I've never been sigged!

 

Thanks man your guide got me up and running.

Finding it easier Now though to do folder creation and unzipping ect with a proper GUI! iFile..

 

Cool, glad I was able help to someone!

 

PLEASE tell me it's playable.

 

I have no idea o.o

Spid3r: Heroes of Might and Magic?

 

Please tell us how? And is it really playable?

 

Ooh! Got Pushover working at pretty much full speed with SB sound and keyboard control, ~2000 cycles. Sweet.

 

Ooh! But speaking of SB, has anyone got Dr. Sbaitso working?

 

one quick question :
in which directory should i put my zip file? i will put them on my iPhone thanks to SSH
(i can not have iDos in iTunes...)

 

/private/var/mobile/applications/<random numbers and letters>/documents

 

How do u save progress in u7? And is the movement supposed to be so clunky?

 

thx

i was hoping to avoid the search random number

 

iDos Wiki

I was thinking, with the wealth of information here, it would be great to set up a wiki, or at least a quick compatibility list. maybe a sticky at the start of the thread?

 

I think iFile can list applications by name but I'm not jailbroken anymore and I can't remember for sure.

@ jerivier if you have sb settings, swipe top bar, tap more, scroll to app folders and find iDOS. That shows the random letters/numbers.
