DOSBox Publisher's Description:
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:
* Improve register handling and support with XMS.
* Fix some issues with deleting open files.(windows only issue)
* Add dummpy LPT1 class. (windows only issue)
* Improve some of the internal dos commands. (choice, copy and shift)
* Improve ROM area. (for games that use it for random numbers or overwrite it as some sort of detection thing)
* Improve compatibility of dynamic core by making it handle certain pagefaults earlier.
* Move internal dos tables around so we have more umb memory.
* Add some dos tables.
* Dynamic core supports io exceptions.
* Move some interrupt handlers to XT Bios locations.
* Add a dynamic fpu on x86.
* Improve fpu on non-x86.
* Trapflag gets strickt priority over hardware IRQs.
* Trapflag support for the dynamic core.
* Add dummy TRx handling.
* Fix a few rarely used character functions.
* Improve auto cycle guessing code.
* Improve and extend the joystick support.
* Add autofire support.
* Improve the mapper so you can map keys to the joystick and vice versa.
* A few game specific video card fixes.
* Fix some 64 bit cpu bugs.
* Add support for certain cdrom detection schemes.
* Improve HSG/Red Book support.
* Improve MSCDEX.
* Improve dynamic core support under intel macs.
* Add basic support for clipper programs.
* Add support for different keyboard layouts.
* Add auto core guessing.
* Fix a few flags bugs.
* Fix a few small cpu bugs.
* Improve soundblaster detection rate by various programs.
* Improve EMS emulation. (allow mapping of non standard regions)
* Improve keyboard input codes on various OS-es.
* Fix problems with filenames having stackdata in them.
* Changed a few basic operations in DOSBox so they take emulated time.
* Improve dos ioctl functions.
* Extend cpu core so they are capable of detecting and raising a few more exception types.
* Improve DOS functions when dealing with virtual drive.
* Improve FAT drives.
* Better handling of volume-labels in file functions.

* Add nullmodem emulation.(h-a-l-9000)
* Some small cga and hercules fixes.
* Add more scalers (hq2x/hq3x/sai). (Kronuz)
* Change configuration file loading support. It now supports multiple configuration files.
* Make dynamic core capable of running some win32s programs.
* Fix and add some rare soundblaster modes. (Srecko)
* Better soundblaster mixer controls. (Srecko)
* Make soundblaster installation under windows much easier.
* Add device control channel handling.
* GEMMIS support (ems under windows).
* Support more colours in win 3. (vasyl)
* Don't show unmounted drives in windows filemanager.
