Discovered to my delight that iDOS is back on the App Store[1]. Immediately got Windows 3.11 and MSVC++ 1.52 up and running, and will definitely experiment with DOjS now. Much more fun than getting iSH up to scratch for a real development environment, honestly.

- teruakohatu 2y agoAre there any good guides to running 3.11?
- thom 2y agoIt basically just works, but if you want slightly better drivers you can follow: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=9405 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=9405 I found it necessary to add an oplmode to get MIDI working, as described at: https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Sound https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Sound I’ve got some nostalgia hits like Encarta 94 and Castle of the Winds up and running. You can see more at WinWorld: https://winworldpc.com/home https://winworldpc.com/home I jumped through the same hoops on my Steam Deck (although you can use DOSBox-X there which is slightly more capable) but the iPad has become by far my favourite DOS gaming experience. With Stage Manager, you can have Norton Commander in iDOS running side by side with Midnight Commander in iSH, on a tablet with all day battery life. Anything for a weird life.
