Cthutu: Hi,
Do you guys plan to create an install for the Mac for the games emulated by DosBox, since DosBox now runs on the Mac.
For the foreseeable future, GOG isn't going to provide official Mac support for logistical and market-based reasons. However, it is very easy to unpack the GOG installers and play GOG's DOSBox-based releases using a wide variety of free/open source/commercial tools.
DOSBox has been running on the Mac for a long time, and there a lot of ways to run DOSBox on your Mac; compiled from source, taken from MacPorts, or vanilla builds run through a GUI frontend like
Dapplegrey or
DBGL. The method of choice for a lot of people is
Boxer, a custom version of DOSBox packaged with a deeply Mac-integrated UI.
I have a tutorial posted
here on how to get GOG games working in Boxer, but it pretty much amounts to this:
a) Run the GOG installer in CrossOver (or Wineskin, or your preferred implementation of WINE on OS X)
b) Get the data files for the game and import them into Boxer
It's a non-trivial task, but it's only a small amount of effort which shouldn't take a long time for any savvy user, and through this you can get all of GOG's DOS-based games working perfectly in OS X.
