Perhaps this iPad Air 2 running Windows 98 will not attract your attention in terms of functionalities, but it will undoubtedly surprise you that there are already movements that make us think about the possibilities of the iPad when running desktop operating systems, which it would delight many iPad users who demand certain possibilities that make the device a much more useful tool.
It may seem useless to run Windows 98 on an iOS device, but sometimes technology is used well, especially when it comes to playing the classic PC FAllout 2. The developer and Youtuber Deekismusic uploaded a video demonstrating what we have just exposed from quite surprising and correct way.
Developer used the DOSPAD tweak on a jailbroken iPad. The mouse can be controlled with the touch screen and an external keyboard was used to type. As seen in the video, Windows 98 runs both visually and at a process level as it would on a 16-year-old computer. In addition, the possibility of installing Diablo II is glimpsed, although unfortunately the video cuts out before we can see how it works.
Deekismusic, who is also the user "8bitsince86" on Reddit, cIt says that it is not necessary to carry out excessive optimizations to make the game work on the iPad, but it opens the possibility of also running Diablo II on both the iPad Air 2 and the iPhone 6 Plus. If you want to take a look for yourself, in Reddit the user has added a short tutorial and explanation of his "feat".
I think many of us want to see an iPad running desktop operating systems, or much better, with a dual boot that allows you to quickly choose and switch between desktop or iOS systems. You too? I do not doubt it.
