Files not appearing in iDOS

Postby Neumannium » 30 Mar 2011, 20:13

Just got my iPad, and was excited to put all the dos games I have on my iPhone onto it.

I put the .zip files into the documents/games folder using iPhone explorer. It says they're there. I got Bard's Tale to install (and I could see al the .zip files in iDOS when I did this). After that, though, all the .zip files are gone...I cannot see them in iDOS anymore. I can still see them if I plug back into iPhone explorer, however.

I have installed all these games on my iPhone using iDOS without any problem.

Any ideas why I can't see these .zip files in iDOS om my iPad?

Thanks!

You may need to restart iDOS. Don't have to be ZIP file, I think iPHone Explorer allows you to upload a folder.

I have restarted iDOS, and powered-down my iPad. Still, no luck.

I rechecked in iPhone Explorer, and all the zip files are still there, in my /games folder.

Another weird thing...I made a folder in iDOS named /games/EOB I can see that folder in iDOS, but it doesn't appear in iPhone Explorer even after I refresh.

I also got Warcraft to load in a /games/WC folder (it runs super slow, though....any help on that? :D ), but that folder, nor all the files in it show up in iPhone Explorer.

HELP!!! I think I'm losing my mind!

EDIT: OK...found the problem, and it's all because I'm a dumbass. I downloaded the newest version of iPhone Explorer and loaded it up. When I plugged in my iPad, I noticed that there were 2 folders 'c:\games\' All my stuff was in one of them, but when I was in iDOS I must have been going to the other one. I renamed the folder with all my .zip files to c:\mygames\ and, sure enough, they were all there when I went and checked in iDOS. I have now loaded them all!

Awesome!

I could still use some help with that 'Warcraft is slow' problem, though :D
