Dop-IOS MOD is a modification of the application Dop-IOS that allows you to choose which IOS you would like to use to install other IOSs (trucha bugged or not).

While the original Dop-IOS let you install other IOS, it used IOS 249 to do it. Many people felt a certain resentment toward that on which the authors have no comment.

A better solution for all users would’ve been to allow users to select which IOS they use to install other IOSs. Enter: Dop-IOS MOD.

I’d like to show you my second game for NDS.

You have to bring a ball downwards, but there are blocks in the way, so you have to avoid them. If the ball reaches the top of the screen, you’re GAME OVER.
Controls: Use the D-pad to move left and right. More isn’t needed!
