Administrators Leon Posted August 16, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 16, 2012 So, with the re-launch of http://www.gog.com/ i found my self wanting to run some games (in this case Master of Magic) on OSX... Knowing that i offcourse just could load up a virtual machines in VMware fusion, it just seemed like over kill. So, after a bit of googling, i found my new best friend... DOSBox -> http://www.dosbox.com/ When first started you get a plane empty dos console *sweeet*, so to load up a game.. i did like this: 1. Create a folder somewhere, call it eg. "dos" (without the "", this will be your new C:) 2. In the dos console, type "mount C /dos" Now we have a C drive, that also is a folder we can access in osx *sweet*, so i copied over MOM and ran magic.exe... .. and .. PROFIT! Do do you know of any solution that works better ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do do you know of any solution that works better ? Well I don't know if it's better, but it is an alternative: Boxer I've used it for some real old DOS games like Warcaft II and Dark Forces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
