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.

Python 3.1.1 is a multi-purpose, highly customizable programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac, MFC). New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++.
Python is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.The Python implementation is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on Windows, DOS, OS/2, Mac, Amiga... If your favorite system isn't listed here, it may still be supported, if there's a C compiler for it. Ask around on comp.lang.python -- or just try compiling Python yourself.

PteroSplit 0.1
PteroSplit - file split and recover application more>>
After having searched the web I realized that there wasnt an application suitable for my needs: some applications were not free, some did not work on both (Windows and Mac OSx) platforms and most of them did not provide a simple way to recover the original file from the created fragments.
In fact, the problem of recovering the fragments is not difficult to solve if someone is used to DOS and unix shell, but I wanted something that could be used easily from everybody.
Betrayal at Krondor 1.0
Betrayal at Krondor - Classic DOS game Krondor now on a Mac more>>
I am making available a stand-alone Mac OS X application bundle for the old fantasy role-playing game Betrayal at Krondor from Dynamix.
Betrayal at Krondor, which is originally a DOS game, was released as freeware a few years after its release to promote the sequel.
The game naturally does not run natively in Mac OS X -- it is run transparently through the DOSBox emulator, an open-source project which creates a DOS-like virtual environment from which old games can run without compatibility problems.
Unfortunately, DOSBox is quite slow, so in order to run the game with decent responsiveness, I recommend that all graphics be set to minimum quality and game sounds and music be entirely switched off.

Exult 1.2
Exult - Ultima 7-like RPG game more>>
First you need to get Ultima 7. Either you own it already, or you buy it somewhere. Then you must install it on a DOS/Windows machine in order to get the data file. A good way is to use a PC emulator for this, e.g. Virtual PC, Real PC or SoftWindows.
Note that the Ultima Collection already contains an installed copy of Ultima 7. (In the Ultima7/ directory.)
From the Ultima7 folder on your PC, copy the STATIC sub folder to the folder that contains the ExultMac application.
Enhancements:
- Support for more than 1024 shapes and 2048 global flags
- In-game journal (press n for notebook
- Support SI intrinsics in BG
- New art contributed by Crysta the Elf and Berty Zhang

Cocoon Wrapper for DosBOX 1.0b004 is a powerful program that makes it quick and easy to set up an emulator and to add additional DOS software.
This wrapper does not only make it very easy for you to set up an emulator to run your old DOS software, Cocoon also contains a complete graphical user interface, called OpenGEM, for those who don't have Windows 3.1 at their disposal. Although Cocoon supports disk images, you don't need to create or manipulate disk images to use DOS software. Simply tell Cocoon where to find the files and optionally start your DOS applicationa automatically after starting the emulator.
