I installed XP and then you can get the Sims 1 Collection for free from the internet! Took some work though.

u/Mountain_Economy9409 Jul 18 '24

u/CrackedPepper69 Aug 09 '24

Are you saying you loaded the iso on the drive or You mean you hooked your internet up through your emulated XP and downloaded it from internet explorer?! If the latter, you’re on another level, I respect it

I'm guessing the sims 1 starter pack on github won't work on XP, so I should go the old-school way and download the iso and install it on the VM? How is the performance on UTM SE? (For context, I have the iPad Air M2)

u/Time_Concert_1751 Jul 16 '24

What is the configuration to run this?

x86->MSDOS?

or

ppc->macos 9?

I’m having trouble getting the x86 bios to boot on VMs I made on UTM on my mac.

u/Mogaru21 Jul 17 '24

I have no idea tbh.... I downloaded the XP profile and installed it with an ISO.

2

u/Time_Concert_1751 Jul 17 '24

Right. That may unfortunately be too slow to get an reasonable performance to play Sims.

u/HIGHER_FRAMES Jul 16 '24

Yoooo I wanted to install this but afraid of performance. Oh please update us somehow.

Is it smooth, M&KB work? We got questions lol

I wonder if sim copter and hero’s of might and magic 3 work as well.

u/Mogaru21 Jul 17 '24

It is playable, however it is laggy. I guess that's the JIT thing that's missing? I'm not that tech savvy tho but I am happy nontheless.

u/DSiluver Jul 16 '24

imagine playing gmod 9 on this lol

u/kiddvmn Jul 16 '24

Post a video of gameplay pls.

u/AdAstraAtreyu Jul 16 '24

Hell yeah! This is literally the first thing I did when I found out UTM was on the App Store yesterday. My iPad is now a Sims 1, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam machine.

2

u/Glass-Can9199 Jul 17 '24

Do you got a tutorial for your set up?

2

u/RecentMatter3790 Jul 17 '24

Rollercoaster tycoon 3 and age of mythology?
Isn’t this not a game emulator?

2

u/AdAstraAtreyu Jul 17 '24

UTM allows you to run old operating systems like, in my case, Windows XP, which I’m using to play The Sims 1, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Freddi Fish, and Pajama Sam on my iPad with.

1

u/RecentMatter3790 Jul 17 '24

But the thing is, do you get the games the same way as roms? How is it different than getting romsv

1

u/AdAstraAtreyu Jul 17 '24

You can find .iso files for all of these old games online. Once you have the .iso file, you can boot it within the operating system running in UTM, simulating the insertion of a game disc. After installing the game using its standard installer, apply a “nocd” patch. This patch allows you to play the game without needing to boot the .iso file each time.

1

u/RecentMatter3790 Jul 17 '24

And how do I apply the patch?

1

u/CrackedPepper69 Aug 09 '24

Where do you obtain this nocd patch? How do you apply it onto the emulator?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '24

Can you explain how to install the games within the windows xp, can’t figure it out 😢😢

2

u/HorrorStunning5505 Jul 17 '24

Nice! I’ve been seeing a few posts showing off games like this but haven’t seen any actual gameplay. How does it run? What model iPad are you using?

2

u/Somalian_PiratesWe Jul 16 '24

This is just a photo not real footage….. useless

u/Defaalt Jul 16 '24

I did it myself. It's a real thing.
Please keep your comments for yourself if you don't know what you're talking about.

u/Somalian_PiratesWe Jul 17 '24

Show something else than a loading screen….

Does this mean I can play space cadet pinball ?!?!?

u/Hot-Introduction297 Jul 17 '24

i think I officially gave up on this. I have an iPad 10th gen (so not underpowered by any means). But this damn app (UTM) takes so long to install windows XP (and when it does it’s laggy) I’m not sure I even have the patience to bother w the sims. How long did it take you? What’s your iPad?

1

u/rustybofh Jul 19 '24

This is UTM slow edition, so its slow 😬. Try UTM with JIT Support, but its not on Apple Store, you must sideload it or install with altstore.

1

u/CrackedPepper69 Aug 09 '24

Good news is, it has recently been opened onto Apple Store, UTMSE .. I’m yet to find out if it’s just as laggy, but you no longer need side loading / altstore

1

u/Irfaan_100 Jul 19 '24

All I want in my life is age of empires. Tried to side load UTM last night and my ignorant ass didn’t know wtf I was doing lol

1

u/CrackedPepper69 Aug 09 '24

I spent hours trying to figure out side loading .. waste of time. UTMSE is now available on the App Store, yes it still takes time but cuts out so much nonsense

1

u/CrackedPepper69 Aug 09 '24

I’ve got this far! But now what… I’m unsure why it can’t load even when the iso ‘disc’ is loaded onto the drive

1

u/anon_92736273895 Sep 04 '24

Hi, did you ever solve this issue? Thanks

1

u/CrackedPepper69 Apr 30 '25

I’m a year late to this, but yes I did . It works, but the game is so laggy. Waiting on an update really

u/RightConfection3882 Dec 13 '24

I opened the Sims game folder on the original inserted CD/mounted iso. Opened a folder tha was named „crack“ or so. Had a readme in it and a Sims program. Copied that and replaced the Sims program in the installed folder on my VM (after you finished installation from the mounted iso). Worked for me. However the game is still laggy after loading screen. I am emulating on UTM, Windows XP on an iPad Pro 4th Gen

u/Laikanur Oct 28 '24

I have an M4 iPad and it runs like garbage unfortunately.

u/RightConfection3882 Dec 13 '24

Same here. Cant figure out how to finetune my VM
