Boxer 0.86b - Mac-friendly version of the DOSBox 0.72 MS-DOS emulator. (Free)

games
Boxer 0.86b

Boxer plays MS-DOS games on your Mac. It’s based on the robust DOSBox emulator, with a lot of magic sprinkled on top.

Run DOS programs from Finder. Wrap your games into elegant packages that launch like a Mac app. Painlessly install games from CD—then bundle the CD with your game so you don't even need it in the drive.

Don’t struggle with mounts and emulation settings; don’t nurse a greedy games database; don’t bang your head against a DOS prompt; just play your games. Boxer takes away the fuss and leaves the fun.


WHAT'S NEW
Version 0.86 beta:
  • Better importing of game folders from Good Old Games and Steam: file paths and CD images should go to the right places now.
  • Auto-detected game settings are now applied along with a gamebox’s saved settings: this lets new compatibility fixes work for existing gameboxes.
  • Added Boxer shortcut keys for taking screenshots ( Cmd- S) and recording movies ( Cmd- Opt- S).
  • Prettier, friendlier, more helpful messages for all DOS commands.
  • Removed unmaintained DOSBox-only localisations (Czech, Danish, French etc.) as these no longer match Boxer’s DOS behaviour.
  • Fix for Fallout map-change freeze.
  • New disk image icon for beta versions.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later.
