That should be in the ActiveGS emulator on the iPad but I am not sure if it was added.

I am not in a position to test right now, ping me again in a week or two and I’ll try to figure it out.

http://www.virtualapple.org/wastelanddisk.html
It loads the publisher splash screen over and over again in a loop and never progresses into the game. I have taken all the spaces and parenthesis out of the file names and put in underscores. All my files are in the ../Documents folder. I have successfully ran other software with the help of your guide.
My config looks like this:

Wasteland
1988
Electronic Arts
<![CDATA[
Wasteland is a critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic role-playing video game first published by Electronic Arts in 1988.[1] The game was designed by Brian Fargo, Michael A. Stackpole, Ken St. Andre and Alan Pavlish, and programmed by Pavlish for Interplay Productions. Wasteland is set in a world decades after nuclear holocaust, which has turned Earth into the titular "wasteland" where survival is the paramount objective. The game's setting and concept would become the basis for Interplay's later game, Fallout, which itself would extend into a successful series.

Any help would help. Thanks!

We’ll see…

I was all set to updae the xml file, but cant now because i updated ios. P****d.

I can’t seem to put my list.activegsxml file (or disk images that I want to be read-only) in there any more. The Documents directory is still r/w, but ActiveGS doesn’t look in there for the list.activegsxml file :(
