Fallout 1 Can't Save

I am using dospad on my mobile device to run fallout 1. Dospad is just dosbox ported to ios. I have got fallout running on my mobile, but I believe it is having write errors of some sort. I am unable to save the game. I just get a generic "error, can't save game". Also, at the end of the first cave outside the vault, I get a map save error and a crash. I have given full permissions to all users to fallout's save directory, but that did not fix anything. I also found it strange that fallout did not even create the save directory for itself . . . I had to manually add data/savegame/save01

I am dissapointed to have come this far in fixing it, just to hit a wall. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Dospad is not supported here, contact the guy who sold software to you which shouldn't be sold.

BUT from what I experienced, make sure you have write access in the fallout folder and files.

Well, I feel stupid for not trying that before coming here, but I assumed write access to the save directory would be good enough. Recursively assigning write access to all fallout files solved both my problems. Thanks for the help!

Sorry for posting dospad here. I was not aware that it is not supported. Thanks anyway for the help though.
