I’ve been reading the Darwine mailing list lately, they’ve been doing a lot of work there trying to get Wine to work under OS X. This got me wondering if other emulators like FreeDOS were up and running on OS X. To my joy and wonderment they are.
The Petit Dosbox program just rocks. After installing it (and I also had to grab the SDL libraries because those aren’t included with OS X) I was able to boot up my favorite game of all time Wasteland. That just rocks to no end. The gui for Petit is great and it allows me to just go tot he games, instead of having to stroll down memory lane and visit the DOS prompt.
I know I really should get back to business and finish the game I keep talking about writing/finishing, but right now I feel like heading back into the desert…
