Putting U7 on an iOS device

[waswhatwer]

I managed to get Exult/U7 working on windows and it’s awesome. Now I would like to put it on my iPad for portability, but....I have no idea what I’m doing. I put XCode on a Mac and went to GitHub but realized I have no earthly idea what to do next. I don’t even know what files to download to the Mac or how to even open them (or even which files to download) in Xcode. Even if I did open them, what would I do next? Would someone mind explaining how to do this in layman’s terms? If it’s too hopeless for a non-programmer I’d love to know that before I completely trash my iPad

You need to download the source from https://github.com/litchie/exult-ios and then open the project file in the iOS subfolder with Xcode. Select your ipad in the upper left and hit the play button.
Or wait a moment for me to send you a testflight invite to the email address you used here in the forum (if that is correct)

Awesome - thank you you! I’ll wait for the email and give it a go tonight.

[Dominus]

Done

[waswhatwer]

Awesome, I got it working with no trouble - thanks for your help! It’s crazy seeing this on an iPad...

[Dominus]

Yes, I love it
And thanks for reporting back!

does the U7 android thing work?

[Dominus]

no, it doesn't. The patch is ages old, from before we switched to SDL2 and no one bothered to work on it

For Android, I have had success with Dosbox. You copy your install files from your U7 CDROM or original diskettes to a USB flashdrive and then install it on your Android with Dosbox.

As far as controls go, I would recommend getting a usb keyboard/trackpad combo or a usb hub for a full size keyboard and mouse.

Yes, but that's not Exult and so no mods work
