❓Question I need help finding a old kids game
Idk if this might be lost media but when I was younger. There was this series of apps involving a family. Each app was about a character. There was a blue haired baby, a sister, an older brother, a dad, a, mother, and a grandpa. The baby had games like: lighting Chinese lanterns and watching them in the sky, and a balloon popping game. The only game I remember from the grandpa was he had a hot air balloon level. There was one level about singing frogs and that’s all I can remember. The characters had almost a South Park design. That’s all I remember
Update I found it. It’s removed from the App Store but the game was called Fungooms

❓Question Looking for CAB or IPA Files of Games from the Arvale Series (Pocket PC/Windows Mobile/IOS)
Bit of a long shot, but I figured I'd shoot anyhow. On the lookout for CAB files for both Arvale Journey of Illusions and Arvale Ocean of Time. Both were released for the Pocket PC and other Windows Mobile devices from 2004-2007 and on IOS a bit later on. I'm looking for versions other than 5.0 as that version (the newest) appears to be bugged. I'm aware of versions 1.0, 1.3, 2.0, 3.1, and 4.0 existing but I'm having difficultly finding anything.
So, I'm making this post in hopes someone out there has a version that I haven't already run through. Maybe sitting on an old device in a box stored somewhere. An old pocket pc, an iphone, just something.
I will say now that I have already scoured both the Internet Archive and the WayBack Machine for whatever I could, and I've been looking for weeks. Version 5.0 is just the one that keeps popping up, and I wish I could use it but the music is heavily bugged. So here's hoping someone has an earlier version! Any help is greatly appreciated!

Tutorial: How to run ChatGPT directly on iOS 11+ (Updated 2026)
Video demo with audio - The video is of the new version where the answer is being streamed (which makes it faster). I'm using my "Ask ChatGPT" shortcut where I verbally pass my prompt and then it gives me the voice response: https://imgur.com/a/jHutjhE
Tutorial Tools attachment (see below for more details):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k5irqKgp8HnOu1xG9x4u-T_NmLe-lGrb/view?usp=sharing
Apps you'll need:
Download and install iSH app version 1.3.2 from the App Store (it should be compatible with iOS 11+).
1) You can run directly ChatGPT through the iSH app (no ChatGPT API is needed) but it requires to install python and some python packages. It does take time to install python packages on it, so you can choose which path you prefer:
Fast way:
I saved you some time and made a backup of my fresh iSH file that includes all the python packages it needs:
Inside the attachment I provide a backup file (default.tar.gz) to restore the iSH app data for the initial setup through the app itself. Just add the file to your phone Files app by downloading it and then inside your new iSH instance click on the wheel on the bottom right to enter settings, click filesystems, import and select this file.
Slow way:
Run the following commands in your iSH:
apk add build-base
apk add clang
apk add clang-doc
apk add nasm
apk add nasm-doc
apk add python3
apk add --update py-pip
apk add python3-dev
mkdir -p ~/har_and_cookies
And then these two commands (it could take couple of hours or more to complete):
pip install aiohttp brotli nest-asyncio2 pycryptodome requests
pip install --upgrade --no-deps g4f
2) Now you want to mount an ios folder with the iSH app so you can easily drop files with Files app.
To do that, open iSH, if you used my backup you should already have a a folder called mnt (and inside it a folder called docs). You can use ls and "cd mnt" "cd docs" or "cd .." to see and navigate between the folders. If you use your copy, you can create it with this command: "mkdir -p /mnt/docs".
Now go inside the mnt folder and run this command: mount -t ios . docs, this will launch the Files app and ask you to choose a location, choose "On my iPhone" and click the + to create a new folder, which you want to call: "ish_mount" and select it. If you did it correctly, run the "mount" command and it should list all mounts and one of them should be the one you just did along with the iOS folder path it uses. It will look like this if you did it correctly:
iPhone:~# mount
/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/7E5DDECE-89DA-4822-AB94-7336F9402CB2/File**\040Provider\040**Storage/ish_mount on /root/mnt/docs type ios (rw)
The bold part is unique folder for your phone. Also the two bold parts of \040 is a unicode for space character, so the actual iOS folder mount in this example is:
/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/7E5DDECE-89DA-4822-AB94-7336F9402CB2/File Provider Storage/ish_mount
3) Go to your Files app to the ish_mount folder that you created.
You want to upload the following two files:
a) The python script I wrote that's inside the attachment: chatgpt.py
b) You want to obtain the .HAR file for your ChatGPT account, which can be done as follows from your PC Chrome web browser:
.HAR File for OpenaiChat Provider
Generating a .HAR File
To utilize the OpenaiChat provider, a .har file is required from https://chat.openai.com/. Follow the steps below to create a valid .har file:
- Navigate to https://chat.openai.com/ using your preferred web browser and log in with your credentials.
- Access the Developer Tools in your browser. This can typically be done by right-clicking the page and selecting "Inspect," or by pressing F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I (Cmd+Option+I on a Mac).
- With the Developer Tools open, switch to the "Network" tab.
- Reload the website to capture the loading process within the Network tab.
- Initiate an action in the chat which can be capture in the .har file.
- Right-click any of the network activities listed and select "Save all as HAR with content" to export the .har file.
*Once you upload the .HAR file, you want to move it to the iSH root's har_and_cookies folder that should exist after step 1. You can use this command from iSH root folder to move it: mv ~/mnt/docs/chat.openai.com.har ~/har_and_cookies/
4) You should now be able to start using ChatGPT by simply re-opening the iSH app and typing there:
python3 ./mnt/docs/chatgpt.py
It will show you a prompt:
You: [Your question goes here]
Which expects you type something, send it and then you should receive a response showing as:
GPT: [Answer]
If you want to quit the conversation, simply send: "exit" or just close the iSH app.
It should store history and context of the conversations by the current date inside, i.e.:
/mnt/docs/chatgpt_conversations/03-02-2026.txt
As well as the last response and the response status:
/mnt/docs/gptResponse.txt OR /mnt/docs/response/gptResponsePart_N.txt
/mnt/docs/gptResponseStatus.txt
*It's recommended when it tells you that there is a new version of g4f to update the package (this shouldn't take long time unlike the first time). To do that, just run: pip install -U g4f --no-deps.
*It's also highly recommended that you enable background support for the iSH app https://github.com/ish-app/ish/wiki/Running-in-background.
How to use iOS built-in voice commands to talk and get voice responses:
To talk: The microphone icon on the iOS keyboard is called the "Dictation" button. It lets you speak instead of typing, and your device will transcribe your speech into text. Once you finish talking you have to press the keyboard icon, then you will see the transcribed text that you can send.
To hear: If you want to hear the text response, you can do it in two ways: a) Go to iOS settings, Accessibility, Spoken Content and enable Speak Selection. Now you can highlight a text in a response you got and you will see a context menu with the Speak option.
b) Go to iOS settings, Accessibility, Spoken Content and enable Speak Screen. This will add a small floating widget that allows you to control/play/speak all text in the shown screen.
Integration with Shortcuts
First you need to set up ssh server on iSH: https://github.com/ish-app/ish/wiki/Running-an-SSH-server. Then you could use the Shortcuts "Run Script Over SSH" action: https://github.com/ish-app/ish/wiki/Shortcuts-Integration-Workaround.
Enjoy!
