			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://macvm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/boxer-icon.jpg" alt="" title="Boxer Icon" width="125" height="108" class="alignright size-full wp-image-239" /> Boxer has been updated to version 1.1.1.  Boxer is a DOS emulator that is focused on games. It is based on <a  href="http://www.dosbox.com/">DOSBox</a> and as such, is free.  It&#8217;s a drag and drop solution of sorts, and it creates a wrapper, or &#8220;gamebox&#8221; as the developers refer to it, for your games, making it easy to back them up and transfer them elsewhere.</p>
<p>Boxer 1.1 added support for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, and Boxer 1.1.1 improves upon that.  For those who use joysticks, this is an update you will definitely want, as there was a lot of work done with joystick controls and input.</p>
<p><strong>Joystick improvements:</strong><br />
* Better controller mappings for:<br />
&#8212; Logitech Dual Action, RumblePad 2, and Fx10 series gamepads<br />
&#8212; Logitech Formula Force, MOMO Racing and G25/G27 series wheels<br />
&#8212; 3rd-party XBOX 360 controllers<br />
* CH Flightstick Pro throttle emulation works better with gamepads and displays the current throttle level on-screen.<br />
* Per-game option to disable joystick emulation, to avoid interfering with external tools like Gamepad Companion.<br />
* If a game seems to be ignoring your joystick input, Boxer will remind you to turn on joystick control within the game.<br />
* Reduced axis deadzone from 25% to 20% to make sticks more sensitive.<br />
* On most controllers, buttons 5-8 are now also bound to the four DOS joystick buttons.<br />
* Improved gamepad detection to more reliably apply twin-stick racing wheel layout.</p>
<p><strong>Better disk handling:</strong><br />
* The program panel now discovers programs located on ISOs and floppy-disk images, and can set them as the default program for a gamebox. This makes it much easier to play games that have left all their programs on the CD.<br />
* Drives are scanned for available programs in the background, resulting in quicker gamebox startup.<br />
* Added support for .IMG and .VFD floppy-disk image formats.<br />
* Fixed floppy-disk images hanging on PowerPC Macs.</p>
<p><strong>Fixes for 10.7 Lion:</strong><br />
* Fixed nasty fullscreen lag under Lion.<br />
* Fixed occasional Lion crash when tapping the DOS window’s close button on a trackpad.<br />
* Disabled restore-windows-at-startup in Lion, to prevent numerous startup bugs and general misbehaviour.</p>
<p><strong>General fixes and tweaks:</strong><br />
* New bezel notifications for switching to fullscreen, pausing, adjusting CPU speed and adding/removing drives.<br />
* Flicker-free fullscreen transitions, smooth crossfades in program panel, and other cosmetic improvements.<br />
* Automatic configuration for Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies and Metaltech: Earthsiege.<br />
* Disabled blur effect behind Inspector panel in preparation for App Store compatibility.<br />
* Removed Growl support, now that it has been superseded by built-in bezels.</p>
<p><strong>Requires:</strong> Mac OS X 10.5 and newer</p>
<p>If you are still on an older version of Mac OS X, namely Mac OS X 10.4, check the link below for details on older version of Boxer to run on your Mac.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you still have and use a G3-based Macintosh and are looking for an optimized version of <a  href="http://macvm.com/dosbox/">DOSBox</a>, look no further.  Marcus Herbert has put together an &#8220;<a  href="http://www.enosnusnu.de/index.php?/archives/77-Inofficial-DOSBox-build-for-G3.html">Inofficial DOSBox build for G3 Macs</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Quoting Marcus:</p>
<blockquote><p>Unfortunately the official 0.70 build of DOSBox for OSX has all kind of compiler switches set to juice the most performance out of your PowerPC G4 (and up) CPU and obviously doesn&#8217;t run on old G3 anymore. For those people I provide a precompiled DOSBox binary here.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a quick note about <a  href="http://macvm.com/dosbox/">DOSBox</a> (a DOS emulator for Mac OS X).   According to <a  href="http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=11567&#038;postdays=0&#038;postorder=asc&#038;highlight=universal&#038;start=40">a thread at VOGONS</a> (official forums for DOSBox), they are working on making DOSBox perform much better on Intel-based Macs (it&#8217;s not too shabby as it is, but there are a few issues still remaining).  It sounds like they could be making a Universal Binary version available in the near future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>macosxhints.com has <a  href="http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060908113608289">published a review</a> of <a  href="http://macvm.com/dosbox/">DOSBox for Mac OS X</a>.  DOSBox is a DOS environment that runs under Mac OS X (as well as several other OSes), and is primarily used to play old DOS-based computer games.</p>
<p>Macosxhints.com listed it as their Pick of the Week for August 28, and the reviewer mentions what most people use it for:  <em>DOSBox isn&#8217;t rich on user interface features, but it works quite well. There&#8217;s even SoundBlaster support, so you get in-game sound. I&#8217;m sure DOSBox could be used for more productive tasks as well, but it&#8217;s great as a flashback gaming machine!</em></p>
