dospad VS scummvm

idos2 is still available via patreon (https://litchie.com/dospad) - and really good as I purchased it when it was available from the appstore, alternatively any dos emulator via altstore - then heroes II... it's by far the best experience you can have on ipad/iphone. Tried many clones and while some are OK, heroes II blows them all away.

there was idos 2 available, but sadly was pulled out from sale (ofc because of apple) and if you didn't purchase it back then - now you can't. Now the only two ways without jailbreaking are: 1) https://litchie.com/dospad - via patreon the idos2 dev sign up the newest version for you

AFAIK this is the latest IPA available on GitHub: https://github.com/litchie/dospad

This seems to be a bug/feature (depending how you look at upgrades breaking existing features). I filed https://github.com/litchie/dospad/issues/139 to track this.

I’m doing all of this through iDOS (which is just a DOSBox variant compiled for iOS/iPadOS devices). I don’t own an Android tablet, but a quick search shows multiple versions of DOSBox available on the Google Play store you could install on your Android device. Once installed, there is usually a way to drop DOS game files into a folder accessible by DOSBox as a drive mount. You CD to the directory and run the game.

Also for MS-DOS games in general, iDOS is an awesome Dosbox emu for iOS. Supports Bluetooth keyboards and MT32 emulation and a bunch more.

-iDOS, based in DOSBox: DOS and Windows up to 3.11. Used to be in the app store, but no more. IPA in Github

u/d10sfan has added ScummVM port for Sanitarium to Luxtorpeda repos. Thanks to that, modern port of the game can be played as a Steam game.

SCUMM VM is now like that, plenty of Point and Click games https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm

It's a long shot, but some old games are available via https://www.scummvm.org/

Ultima 6 - I use ScummVM to play it. It's a great engine that provides a layer of UI compatibility over the game.

The game is "Beneath A Steel Sky", an old school point and click adventure. And though the graphics are pixel style, they are still very well done, and the game and story are still great. The emulator is ScummVM. There's some other games that were released as freeware.

ScummVM, which has been working on Adobe Director support, can detect the game (thank you @mistydemeo <3), but trying to run it will softlock you on the game's title screen, unable to click anything. It's likely this will be fixed in the future, but for now I can't recommend it for this particular game.
