Publisher's Description
From Neptho Networking Solutions:
This is a rather trivial port of DOSBox to MacOS X. What if you just want to play some old games? This port of DOSBox may be your answer. It's statically compiled against SDL, is built upon the Cocoa, Carbon, OpenGL, QuickTime, and AudioUnit frameworks, and thus, is only MacOS 10.3.x (or Panther) compatible. It has partial protected mode emulation, a subset of VESA 1.2 functionality (800x600x8) via S3 Trio emulation, and 'internal modem' support via the SDL_net framework.
What's new in this version:
- Several small game specific fixes/hacks/support. (Offensive, Roadhog, GTA installer, Kingdom O' Magic soundcard detection, Pirate booter, Armored Fist installer)
- Add the S3-specific 640x480 256 color mode. (fixes regression in "Wooden Ships and Iron Men" and "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream")
- Fix a stack overflow that could crash DOSBox.
- Add fake microphone input. (fixes Talking Parrot)
- Modify adlib turn off code, so that it doesn't turn off in ... See all new features

"Downloaded an antivirus software instead!"
Version: DOSBox 0.72
Pros
Couldn't download it!
Cons
It transferred you to a different site where it automatically began downloading onto my pc an antivrus software. Rubbish!
Summary
When you go to Download.com you trust that it probably is safe, but this download is a con.

"Peelgrunt Game of Gammon IV v. 6.4"
Version: DOSBox 0.62
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Wow, I never expected to see my old backgammon game from 1986 run on a Macintosh!

The game executes flawlessly, probably faster than the IBM PC rendered it. I have one caveat -- BACKGMMN.EXE uses a kludge from Seattle to avoid snow on the screen by blitting only during vertical retrace. This seems to cause a low, regular popping noise like dragging a soft stick along a picket fence. Other than that, perfect! -
