Description
Play classic DOS games on your iPhone and iPad!
iDOS turns your device right into a powerful DOS gaming PC, with modern game control to make your old favorites as playable as possible.
You can also use iDOS for non-gaming purposes, such as word processing, casual programming. Apps in the DOS days are often simpler and surprisingly productive.
KEYBOARD
iDOS provides a PC compatible on-screen keyboard with carefully designed layouts for different devices and orientations. The keyboard has a sliding control in landscape mode so that you can keep it from covering critical part of the screen.
Bluetooth keyboard is fully supported on iOS 14+.
GAMEPAD
iDOS provides a virtual gamepad with key bindings that are fairly common in DOS games. You can customize the bindings. The DPAD works in 8-axis way. It can also be toggled into a joystick.
External bluetooth game controllers are supported. Make sure your game controller is connected (System Settings->Bluetooth). To customize button bindings, go to iDOS in landscape mode, tap on bluetooth icon on the auto-hiding top bar.
MOUSE
The screen area serves as a trackpad for moving mouse pointer.
Tap on the screen for left click. If direct touch is enabled, the mouse pointer will move to where you tap.
Hold one finger on the screen, and tap with another finger for right click.
On-screen mouse buttons are also provided for your convenience.
Bluetooth mouse are fully supported on iOS 14+.

Ratings and Reviews
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.
Great App!!
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 install games that have multiple disk images for installing them.
Please hide cursor when using iPad Magic trackpad!
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]
