NEW: Sound emulation and external Bluetooth Keyboard enabled! The first Disk Operating Systems were introduced when Tape Memory was replaced with rotating Disks. This was in the 60'ies of the last century. Since then a lot has changed, but many of us remember the days when there was no Graphical User Interface. This app now is introducing DOS for mobile devices. Not laptops, but phones. iPhone and iPad, to be precise. It is a perfect emulator of the DOS that so many games and applications in the 80'ies and 90'ies have been running on. Win and Win95 were running on DOS, showing what a 16bit operating system is capable of. If sys ini, commanc.com, config.sys and .exe sound familiar to you, then this is the app for you. The DOS is not just a CLI, it is a full fledged operating system. It does everything that the Ancient DOS did. It is capable of executing batch files or installing some of the game classics that never made it past DOS. It probably runs much better than the original DOS used to run on old PC's, which were state of the art back then. 30 years is old enough to be called vintage, and it brings as much power as it did back then ;-) With this app you can get this vintage feeling on your iPhone or iPad. ◆Features ▸ SoundCard emulation ▸ External Bluetooth Keyboard ▸ Disk Operating System ▸ Everything you would expect from DOS ;) If you have ideas, feedback, suggestions or anything else you would like to tell us, do not hesitate to drop us a line! And if you like Power DOS, be not shy to leave a good review!

It does work(quite well on my iPod 4 6.1.6, and 5S on 7.1.2, however there are a few notable points you may wish to be aware of: This application is by another Developer, Fastintelligence(litchie). None of the profits go to him/her(but some may argue it is reasonable for getting your developer account suspended) It violates open source, takes credit for work not by the dev hosting source code. It needs iExplorer, or equivilant to get to /Documents/ Direrectory. Unknown if iOS 8 is supported, earlier(6,7 do work)THERE IS NO ITUNES FILE TRANSFER! Enjoy, download, and backup. I doubt it will last. Here is what you get when you type in "ver": Compatibility: Windows 3.0 Multimedia-works DOOM- Works MSPACMAN.com -works. GCC 2.8.1 -works.

Is this like an emulator? Zemar Well-Known Member Dec 1, 2009 462 0 16 Denmark #3 Zemar, Jan 17, 2015 Does anyone know if SWOS 95/96 will work in this DOS emulator? A couple of years ago it was only the old games that worked, so I'm wondering if it has improved since then.

It is like having a mini 90's computer inside your device! look into iDOS, you can do all of that stuff with this(as long as you own+dump/copy the software yourself). Downloading it from the internet is a grey-probably illegal area as most of the copyright holders are still around and active. And for Zemar: If it works in DOSbox .74(latest version) it will work in this software. DOSBOX compatibility search utility. Dosbox itself emulates an x86 instruction set, and MSDOS version 5.0. Specifically for the program you suggested, I do not have it, so I cannot test it. But if you can run it on DOSBox on your PC/Mac, it will run on this emulator.

Im not sure if iDOS 2 does. They are based on the source material. Almost nothing has been changed beside this. If your were to download DOSPAD from cydia right now, it would be the same thing(minus root access, due to no jailbroken) Gwarmaxx Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2010 4,446 376 83 NCC 1701 #12 Gwarmaxx, Jan 17, 2015 bought it and i can tell that is the same version, DOSPAD 0.74, but this one has a PC keyboard on portrait view (and better keyboard delay on landscape than iDOS), and that's a great improve over the iPhone keyboard that was almost useless in portrait iDOS. drelbs Well-Known Member Jun 25, 2009 11,200 7 38 #13 drelbs, Jan 17, 2015 Also: I don't know about you guys, but I can't get either version of iDOS to install on iOS 8 / 6+ I'm surprised this snuck through.

Yes, it does have a 10 digit calculator style numbered in portrait. On the right side of the screen (iPhone Version). It is abit small though. Shame, the MAME emulator is slow. Hey but its at least has GB. NO$GBA for MSDOS does emulate the NDS and GBA(slowly) on my phone. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
