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.

Its nice to play in a classic
Die_Fledermaus
Okay so it is nice to play in DOS again for nostalgia sake. The problem comes with the app itself. There is a Customize config button that does nothing. and the ability to load in new software seems to be lacking. I am starting to wonder if this is just a money grab or an actual attempt to make a working product?
Thanks for the DOS guys!

Did he really say 'a money grab' ??? 0.99 cents Bwahaha!! Wish it had an editor already loaded.
Very nice

Very nice emulation. HOWEVER: Only a few experienced iOS users may know how to add games from outside sources so I think this app should come with some reinstalled. I would like to request ELITE (can be downloaded by frontier developments) and Rogue (can be found in any abandon ware site.) you guys did a nice job with the app and I plan on adding all my favorite 80's pcgames to it ;)
Excellent
Symster??

This app is very good and I love it but there is one problem, whenever I try to run SealX in the app, it won't work. Can you please try to fix it in the next update? Other than that this is my favorite app on the App Store. :-)
Great!!
