Dos Emulator Games Mac
Mar 12, 2020 DOSBox emulates a full x86 pc with sound and DOS. Its main use is to run old DOS games on platforms which don't have DOS (Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 / Linux / FreeBSD / Mac OS X). Boxer is the DOS game emulator that’s fit for your Mac. Playing your old games just got easy. Mac OS X: Bring a 64 bit version and improve performance. Linux: Fix the 64bit dynrec cpu core and a lot of compilation problems. Add patches for the WINE Team. The game compatibility should be identical to 0.74. We have saved all game fixes for the upcoming 0.75.
Remember: you don't need to install any emulator to run games downloaded from GamesNostalgia.The games you will find on our site have been already tested, configured and - if necessary - packed with the required emulators. So if you just want to play our games, you don't need to read this page.

DOSBox
Most of the titles you will find on GamesNostalgia are MS-DOS games, so they cannot run on modern computers. However there arespecial programs called emulators that allow those games to run on Windows, Mac or Linux.
The most popular DOS emulator is DOSBox. It's a free software that you can downloadhere.It's compatible with Windows, Mac and several Linux versions. Installing DOXBox is easy, but you need a few steps to configure an old MS-DOS game and run it.
Once you launch DOSBox, you will see a screen like the one below
First thing you have to mount (using the MOUNT command) the folder where you have downloaded all your old games (eg. C:OLDGAMES).Then you can move to the folder of the game you want to run (using the CD command) and finally you can launch the game executing the correct .EXE file
It doesn't matter if you have a Mac or PC, DOSBox is the same.
