iDOS 3

iDOS 3 emulates a DOS computer for compatible classic games and other user-supplied DOS software.

Our take

Choose for exploring legally obtained older programs on an iPhone or iPad.

Keyboard, gamepad and pointer controls give different ways to adapt software designed for a PC.

Keep in mind: Compatibility varies by program, and the emulator does not grant a license to any game or operating-system files.

What you can do

  • Use a PC-style onscreen keyboard
  • Map virtual gamepad keys
  • Connect supported external controllers
  • Use touchpad-style mouse control
  • Play supported MIDI and CD-image audio
  • Adjust emulation speed

Good for

  • Users with compatible classic DOS software they have rights to use

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting every modern PC game or included commercial software

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • Compatibility varies by program, and the emulator does not grant a license to any game or operating-system files.

Privacy & permissions

Imported programs and files can contain personal documents; use trusted sources and preserve separate backups.
