Re: A DOSBox-X environment for Windows and macOS

Dr M,

Many thanks again, for your efforts.

I'm including here inline the error sheet I'm getting, using Mac OS 10.15.7, when first opening the program. I did as it asked, moving the app and so on, restarted the system, but still got the message.

I'd appreciate any help you can provide.

Note the double greater-than sign. Use that command as a model for similar ones; or simply edit the autoexec.bat file that was created by that command.

About changing drive C (and other drives): in the existing system: that could be done by creating a custom version of the application, but it would take some time. I’m willing to do that, but I would have to charge a fee for a private consultation, because the result wouldn’t be usable on anyone else’s system.

Alternatively, if you want to experiment with doing it yourself, you can work on the AppleScript and other files. Everything in the system is editable by anyone.
