It is again good news for the Mac users of DOSBox.- A new frontend Boxer has arrived. It aims to make DOS emulation easy and configuration-free.
- Dapplegrey, another Mac frontend for DOSBox has been updated to 1.9.2
I've been interviewed by DOSGuy of www.classicdosgames.com. I'm not much of a talker, but it turned out quite alright. |

A new home!
As you might have noticed the url for this page has changed.
We are very happy with the new domainname and would like to ask all webmasters to update their links to DOSBox.
If you encounter problems with the new domain or the slightly updated site, please post in the forums.

It are good times for the Mac OS X users:- Ronald has released DBGL 0.61 which is compatible with DOSBox 0.72. Aside from the possibility to use relative path, a Mac OS X package has been added
- Dapplegrey, a Mac OS X frontend, has been updated to version 1.7. It has a really cool feature (quote from the author) : In the Finder Information window of a DOS application, if you set "Open with" to Dapplegrey, the DOS application will be executed by DOSBox. If that DOS application has been added to the Dapplegrey's games list before, your game settings will be re-directed to DOSBox.
Be sure to check DBGL and dapplegrey out.

- Fixed a bug in keyboard layout processing code and fixed certain layouts.
- Fixed Dreamweb.
- Improved speed unlocking when running cycles=max.
- Fixed a crash related to the tab completion in the shell.

- Fixed a bug in the xms status report code. (Blake Stone 1.0 shareware)
- Added a lot more keyboard layouts.
- Fixed crash related to changing the scaler before a screen was created.
- Hopefully fixed compilation on *bsd.
