Re: A DOSBox-X environment for Windows and macOS

[Lisa Kleinholz <lkleinholz@xxxxxxxxx>]

My new MacBook Air with the M1 chip running Big Sur OS arrived last week. I have just got XY running with Mendelson's app. It downloaded and opened without problems (unlike Wengier's DoxBox-X, which my Macbook refused to open). I do need to  keep my copy of XY4 in the DosBoxDisk folder, but I can access my files on Dropbox by mounting a second drive with the handy drive menu. More experimenting is necessary, but I'm hopeful.

Ah, yes. Get rid of those attributes. Why didn’t I think of that? Thank you!

Fred, That error message (about moving your app) is the one I wrote into the program when macOS reports a more incomprehensible message. The app has always worked correctly when I moved it, but if not, try this:

Open a macOS terminal. Type in

xattr -rc

and then - this step is VERY important!!!!! - type a space after “minus rc”!!

Then drag the whole application into the terminal window. When the address of the application appears on the command line, press Enter.
