Play DOS Games in Your MAC

DOS games which are 16-bit systems actually can’t be played in new operating systems, such as Windows XP, Vista or even Mac OS X. However, the theory does not apply anymore. You can break the theory with the help of Boxer. This article will only focus on Mac OS X.

Boxer is an emulator that simulates an Intel x86 PC running MS-DOS, with a focus on running games as smoothly as possible. It covers speaker sounds, video graphics and other hardware. There are no clots of configuration and baffling DOS commands between you and your fun: just drag-drop your games onto Boxer and you’ll be playing in minutes.

What’s new in 1.1?

• Joysticks, baby! Boxer now emulates regular DOS joysticks, Thrustmaster and CH flightsticks, and DOS-era racing wheels.
• Plug-and-play with any Mac-compatible USB or Bluetooth game controller…
• …plus built-in Joypad support to let you use your iPhone as a gamepad, and more.
