How To Get Windows 95 To Run On iOS Using DOS [Jailbreak] On Device Tutorial

Step 1. Download The App
Note* If Downloading PowerDOS you will mount Drives in the D;/ Drive
Note* If ‘downloading I iDOS 2, iDOS, or DOSPAD you will mount Drives in the C:/ Drive

Step 2. Remove [autoexec] from App Config File (Requires Filza, iFile)
Note* This will stop the App from Auto Executing the PLAY.BAT Command File At Startup And allow you Mount and Drive or Run any Command; instead of playing the Preinstalled Games, and Software.
Note* If You would like to enter this menu manually (PLAY.BAT) Simply relaunch the app and type “play” and hit enter.

Step 3. Download the Windows 95 .img Image File (Google Search = win95.img download)
Note* I cannot Provide this File for Copyright Reasons but there are other sites that do

Step 4. Create a Batch File .bat (Optional)
Note* Makes it possible to run Windows 95 or Run any Command simply by typing the name of the Batch File
Note* Because we are working with DOS Filenames CANNOT be longer than 8 Characters not including the File Extension Type. For example...racecamp.exe, If you do create a File Longer than 8 Characters you may not be able to type what DOS has shortened it to.
Note* in DOS All Filenames will appear all caps but in the Operating System (Windows 95) retain real filenames.
Note* They are not case sensitive when it comes to executing .exe’s or launching Folders but is Case sensitive when running Commands in DOS. For example in Windows 95 Racecamp.exe would appear in DOS like RACECAMP.EXE
Note* You Can make a copy of the PLAY.BAT file and rename it to WINDOWS.BAT niether has to be all caps. That’s just wha DOS will Display them as.
I have included a .zip Folder on my Google Drive with a bunch of pre-made Batch (.bat) Files that are essentially One and Done; Keep in mind that if you are using PowerDOS or iDOS you must change the Drive it mounts from.

These are pre-made for PowerDOS as PowerDOS works and looks better on iOS 11.x while iDOS 2 works best on iOS 10.x, 9.x, and older.

Step 5. Place Windows 95 .img Image File in the ‘apps’ Folder of the application in a Folder we will call ‘Win95’.

  1. I have found no way to access file sharing unless the device is jailbroken. So I am stuck at Step 5 because there is no way to add the image file to the 'apps'. If you did this in ios 10 non-jailbroken, please advise how you managed to do this. Thank you
