  • Pure perfection

    I almost lost faith that I could play old games on my iPad normally, and here iDos is back in business. Thanks for your work, man!
  • ctrl alt del

    I am trying to install some games, and they require to press ctrl alt del to finish setup. ctrl alt del is super hard to do and it doesnt do anything. Besides that, this app will most likely have a great future overtime.
  • Multiple floppy disk installers

    Many installers which use multiple floppy disks expect you to eject and insert another floppy image. There’s no way to do this, if you select a second floppy image it says there’s already an image mounted on the a: drive. You can’t unmount it without running the umount command, which is not possible during an installer. The ctrl-f4 shortcut doesn’t work when multiple floppies are selected. A UI for mounting multiple floppies and switching between them with the existing dosbox ctrl-f4 functionality would help with this issue.
  • Awesome app

    This is a great app, but it does have a learning curve. For example, 1 reviewer here said that it doesn’t work with iso files, but it absolutely does. You just have to know how to mount disks (Select disk drive in portrait mode, choose your iso file location, type D: to select it, and press enter to select disk.) and navigate directories (such as typing dir to check files). It has been a great app and I love learning how to use it. The only minor complaint I have is that it doesn’t seem that you can choose a disk in landscape mode. That isn’t a problem on an iPhone, but can be a little cumbersome on iPad.
  • Glad it’s back

    Let’s hope it doesn’t get deleted like last time…
  • Great dos emulator but just dos

    This is a really good dos emulator and i really like it, but the floppy disks and cd disks are not identifying. I am not sure what file types it supports, but PLEASE add support for .img and .iso disks. It isnt cool how these file types just dont work on this and that just limits a lot of things i could have done. I would assume that .flp is the type, but wheres the .iso then? Add .iso if your going to add an insert cd image tab.
    This is still great by the end of the day but i want these file types to be supported so i can do way more
  • Amazing app

    There are so many classic DOS games that are now playable because of this app. Super easy to use and great interface. Now it just needs save states!
  • Works. Not for casual users.

    USERS BEWARE: DOSbox has a learning curve. For the most part, you need to know what you are doing. You can’t just run XMen at the default 3000 cycles setting. Your device will turn into the sun and begin molecular fusion.

  • Keyboard feedback!!!

    It would be GREAT if you can add haptic feedback on the keyboard!!!
    The emulator is overall good, but you can add some simple ms-dos command😁
