Help with DosBox

So I was poking around for something else and I stumbled on DosBox for Mac.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it to work. I don't understand Mac systems at all, and now I've suddenly got all excited that I could play my old Dos games on the Mac side of my comp.

Any suggestions?

 

You can try these instructions:

They are for Panther, but should work in Tiger just fine.

 

good link cash.

crimson, the link describes the sequence of commands that you should enter into the terminal in order for it to work. Just open up terminal /apps/utilites/terminal.app and type line for line:

Code:

su
cd /usr
mkdir src
wget http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.6.tar.gz
gunzip SDL-1.2.6.tar.gz; tar -xf SDL-1.2.6.tar
cd SDL-1.2.6
./configure; make; make install;
cd ../
wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dosbox/dosbox-0.60.tar.gz
gunzip dosbox-0.60.tar.gz; tar -xf dosbox-0.60.tar
cd dosbox-0.60
./configure; make
cd src/
chmod 777 dosbox
exit
cp dosbox ~/Desktop/
