Boxer Mac OS
UPDATE 01/06/21: https://thec0de.com/introducing-our-new-boxer-fork-site-64-bit-support/
UPDATE 12/18/19: Posting some updated custom builds – Note, there are performance issues being reported by many users. The Boxer builds are running less FPS and some audio is not the same. However – it works on Catalina. If you haven’t tried it yet – you CAN use DosBox…but…we all DO love Boxer 😉
Boxer Mac Os Catalina
Boxer, a dos emulator for Mac OSX, saw an update a week ago. It’s “The Dos game emulator that’s fit for your Mac”. It now sits at version 1.0.2. Download it from the Box File Widget on the right hand side of this blog, or from their website. Let’s peep the changes. Improvements to game importing. .boxer - Boxer for Mac Game Archive. The BOXER archive files are related to Boxer.BOXER file is a Boxer for Mac Game Archive.Boxer is a free Mac App which allows users to play DOS games as apps on their Mac.
So the latest version of MacOS will no longer support 32-bit applications. Yes…Apple is doing it again like they did with Rosetta support, and other lovely things in the past that get old. They like to move forward, and make you move too (like it or not). To read more about this you can see here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436
Unfortunately…This includes one of my favorite apps: Boxer – An awesome DOSBox Emulator with GUI and MT-32 ROM support. I was sad to see that this application hasn’t been already updated to have the support, so I figured someone might have done it already. Did some Google-Fu and it turns out a person named “Yozy” did it!

You’ll notice I’ve also posted this information on the Github link in hopes the developers see it and may be able to take advantage of this, or get some help from Yozy to update the main branch 😉
