DOSBox 0.73
Free and open source DOS-emulator for your Mac. more>> Free and open source DOS-emulator for your Mac.
DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very easy to port to different platforms. DOSBox has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, Mac OS X.
Its statically compiled against SDL and built upon the Cocoa, Carbon, OpenGL, QuickTime, and AudioUnit frameworks.
DOSBox also emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, a SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card for excellent sound compatibility with older games.
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.
Its 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.
You can "re-live" the good old days with the help of DOSBox, it can run plenty of the old classics that dont run on your new computer.

RsyncXCD 2.1
Use remotely mounted images for installation locally. more>>
This CD will let you connect to your server as an Mac OS X client, and cleanly install your image folder onto a volume that later you will boot from. For best results with older machines, burning at 4x or slower speeds is recommended.
Wired MasonX 1.1.5
Wired MasonX is specially designed as a creative and useful line of MPEG decompression playback peripheral cards. more>>
Wired MasonX 1.1.5 is specially designed as a creative and useful line of MPEG decompression playback peripheral cards. Mason boards decompress MPEG video and audio data streams and display full-screen, full-motion movie images with CD quality stereo sound. Mason works with all MPEG data streams from network systems to CDROM and DVD drives.
Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
- Mac OS X 10.3.9
- Mac OS X 10.4
- IntelMac OS X 10.0
- Mac OS X 10.1
- Mac OS X 10.5 PPC

- Mac OS X 10.5
- IntelMac OS X 10.3
- Mac OS Classic
iJect 1.2
iJect - Remaps CD eject button from F12 to Apple-F12 more>>
There are two solutions for this problem: Either you practice typewriting or you install iJect.
Enhancements:
- 1.2 should now work on all computers which run Mac OS X 10.1, not just the new iBook.
- Disables F12 completely, you cant re-assign it to any other function.
Photorec 6.3
PhotoRec is a small tool to recover pictures from digital camera memory more>>
It works at least with FAT, NTFS, EXT2/EXT3 filesystem even if they are severely damaged.
PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover from. Recovered files are instead written in the directory from where you are running the PhotoRec program.
PhotoRec is free, it is distributed under GNU Public License.
Enhancements:
- Many improvements and support for new file formats.
TestDisk 6.10
TestDisk is considered as a useful and easy to use mouse and key utility. more>> TestDisk 6.10 is considered as a useful and easy to use mouse and keyboard utility. The download contains TWO programs - TestDisk and PhotoRec. They are used on the command line in the Terminal. As a result, these programs are designed for support personnel and experienced Mac users.
The TestDisk program is powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table).
It will also find accidentally deleted partitions (either Apple Partitions, the newer EFI partitions and Windows MBR Partitons) and provide the necessary information for you to restore them using the Apple pdisk command (for Apple Partitions) or the gpt command for (for EFI partitions)
PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from Hard Disks and CDRom and lost pictures (thus, its Photo Recovery name) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your medias filesystem has been severely damaged or re-formatted. PhotoRec can recover data from various filesystems including FAT, NTFS and HFS+.
- Report disk manufacturer and model under Windows and Linux (Only Linux was supported in 6.9)
- Under Linux, /dev/mapper/* and /dev/md? are now listed with the harddisks.
- Now both OS and compiler versions are recorded in the log file.
- Undelete files and directories for FAT filesystem,
- Undelete files for ext2 filesystem,
- copy files from ext2/ext3 partitions. These feature was already available for FAT and NTFS.
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

TestDisk & PhotoRec (OS X) 6.3
Download a bundle for data and photos recovery from lost partitions and drives on your Mac. more>>
TestDisk & PhotoRec (OS X) 6.3 is developed to be a powerful application which can help you restore and undelete lost files. It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally erasing your Partition Table). PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost pictures or lost files from digital camera memory (CompactFlash, Memory Stick, SecureDigital, SmartMedia, Microdrive, MMC, USB Memory Drives), even Hard Disks and CDRom.
PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover from. Recovered files are instead written in the directory from where you are running the PhotoRec program.
Enhancements: Includes unspecified updates.
