Retro DOS Games Emulator

Get your game running

Support for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Try an included game

Zork I and Rogue are included in every new library. Select one and press Play. The emulated PC boots and the game starts by itself.

Add your own game

  1. Use a DOS release you are entitled to use. Keep its complete folder, including data files.
  2. On the Mac choose Add to Library, or drag the folder or ZIP onto the library window. On iPhone and iPad choose + in the library and pick the folder or ZIP in Files.
  3. If asked, select the game’s EXE, COM or BAT launcher. Choose the main game rather than its setup program.
  4. Press Play. On iPhone and iPad, adjust the virtual joystick or keyboard in Controls.

IMG/IMA disk images and ISO CDs use the corresponding import options. Windows or macOS installers are not DOS games; extract or install their DOS game files first. Game folders need DOS 8.3 file names: up to eight characters, a dot and a three-letter extension.

Controls

On iPhone and iPad, Controls sets up the virtual joystick or directional pad, the action buttons, the trackpad and the DOS keyboard for each game. A connected game controller is used automatically.

On the Mac, click the game screen to capture the keyboard and mouse. Press Control + Command to release them and return to the app controls.

Saving and continuing

Save keeps the whole session. Stop, or switching to another game, saves your progress too. Next time choose Continue to return to the moment you saved, or Start Over to boot the game again.
