iDOS 3 App Reviews

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

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 functionali

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!

It would be great if you could automatically hide the iPad cursor when using the trackpad on the iPad Magic Keyboard. Other apps can do this, and the previous iDOS did this properly. It kind of kills the experience to have a double cursor. Thanks! [Update: seems to be triggered by hitting the ESC key on the keyboard, as the cursor is hidden until then]

Works with everything i throw at it, you can mount folders to make your save game drives, mount cd iso backups you have of old old games! My 80s and 90s computer gaming are back baby! Also wordstar 7 works with this George R.R.Martin! You can write anywhere now, my man. Icloud backed up even.

This app is great and I use it all the time to run old DOS games that I love! My only issue is that some of the DOS game I have come on multiple floppy disk images, and I can’t figure out how to install them. I can mount the first floppy disk, but when the install program asks me to insert the next disk, it won’t let me remove the first disk that I put in. I wish the interface just provided an already mounted a drive that you could just swap disk images into. I simply can’t figure out how to

AMAZING!! You can play any DOS games on an ipad. Mouse and keyboard is supported. ESC key is command+command. My feedback for improvement is to have the ipad's physical keyboard mappable, so we can choose our keys, since iPad keyboard doesn't have all the keys (like ESC and numpad).

But the app is not mounting img or ima files

The main things this app is missing are an easy way to generate virtual hard drive files to use with it, and a beige option for the keyboard/controller. It did successfully make Wolf3D playable on the iPad though which is all I really wanted and well worth the low price for no ads and software that works well.

The app is great I installed doom and windows 3.1 to the “c drive” by extracting floppy’s but if it ran a higher dos version instead of 5 I could run windows 95

Direct touch doesn't work with win 3.11, otherwise awesome.

Unable to install certain games due to it having more than 1 floppy disk. After the first floppy disk is done being installed. there’s no way to unmount it and mount the next floppy disk. Please do an update to correct this. Just a unmount floppy disk button on the interface would solve this. Doesn’t have to be pretty. Otherwise this is an amazing emulator. And I want to give it a 5, but can’t because of this limitation.

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.
