Windows installation

Installation should be nearly identical to installing in MacOS, so tell me if there are any significant differences.

MacOS installation

Download and install DosBox

  • Install DosBox for Mac OS X version 0.74-3-3 dmg (Universal) from the download page of DosBox: [1]
DosBox download page.
  • The Mac OS X link takes you to sorceforge [2] to download the application:
DosBox download page on sourceforge.
  • Open the downloaded dmg file:
Downloaded DoxBox dmg file.
  • The following files will be displayed. Copy the DOSBox.app program to "/Applications" or "~/Applications".
Downloaded files for DosBox.

Download SCORE files

  • Unzip the SCORE zip file and store where you want it to be stored. It should be able to go anywhere such as in your home directory, the Desktop, or a class-related folder. I would avoid having the full path contain any spaces, which could potentially cause problems. I place it at "/Users/craig/score-dosbox". (i.e., in the home directory).
Unzipped SCORE folder for DosBox.


Run DosBox

  • Note that there may be access permissons required the first time DosBox is run (so accept any security permission requests).
  • Open the DosBox app (double click on "/Applications/DOSBox.app" or put in your Dock). You should see this view after a brief splash page:
