Apple’s pulling the app shortly. Time to get it if you want it and download a copy via iMazing or similar, unless you install it via non-standard means.
Here’s the breakdown, from the horse’s mouth as it were: https://litchie.com/2021/07/idos2-will-be-gone Bugger.
Anybody here willing to help me run the game Big Red Racing with audio (music) files. I can run that game with game sound but problem mount the audio files. Probably simple solution for the right person. https://www.myabandonware.com/game/big-red-racing-2n8 email: [email protected] Willing to pay for the help
have you tried the ripped version (26mb)? the original one was on cd and near 500 mb of data (almost all music), that’s the problem, would be an iso file.
Yes i tried ripped version, but maybe i not have the skills to mount the music? Are you sure all music files are invluded in the ripped version?
no, it doesn't have music, just the game and sound fx, it's made on purpose, otherwise you have to get the iso version and mount it.
Is it possible to unzip all just in one folder and modify some files to just click install.exe and all works?
i’ve done it a couple of times through the options on the floppy drive, “cd image” one, but i always prefer to side load the ripped and smaller versions, if they’re available.
First off, this app has been a delight since I first downloaded it, thank you SO much for making it! I’m wondering if there’s support for the 2nd analog stick on a PS4 controller. When in iDOS 2, I tap on the Bluetooth icon on the top of the screen while in landscape, and in the DualShock 4 controller window (almost) everything responds: triggers, D-Pad, buttons, left stick, except the right stick of course, for which there isn’t anything onscreen to represent it. Tried looking in the 2/3/4th controller spaces, not showing response there either. I tried setting the following in the DOSPAD.CFG file: [joystick] joysticktype=4axis …but nothing happened. Thought maybe just the interface wasn’t reflecting it, so I tried assigning a function to the 2nd stick in Descent, but no response. In case it’s relevant, I’m on an 11” iPad Pro (2018), 64GB, no cellular, space grey.
Folks were talking about performance of DOS-based emulators earlier, thought I’d chime in with my experience thus far: ZSNES runs almost perfectly on a more modern machine (I saw some comments earlier were on hardware as far back as an iPhone 5S). I get 20-40fps on Super Mario World on an iPad Pro (2018) when set to 320x200x16b VESA2 with sound on stereo 22khz. Not as fluid as I’d like, but I’d imagine a new iPad Pro with the M1 would be locked at 60fps. Sure if you don’t have your emulator (iDOS 2 / DOSBox) running an emulator (SNES9x / ZSNES) you’ll probably get better performance. As such, I’d imagine Delta (https://deltaemulatorapp.com/) and Eclipse (https://eclipseemu.me/) and the like are probably rockin’. Personally, I’ve got a soft spot for ZSNES, always have, always will. Meanwhile, all the native DOS stuff I’ve run: TIE Fighter, Warcraft 2, Descent, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, Prince of Persia, all run like champs.
Why was it pulled in the first place, though? I know it's still available under accounts' "Purchased" list, so it can be redownloaded (just like iGBA). But depending on the circunstances it met its demise, chances of a comeback may vary. It'd be good having it back in its full glory and updated for folks with modern devices.
