What is Dapplegrey?

Dapplegrey is a frontend for the Mac OS X DOSBox port (which you can get from the official DOSBox website) written in REALbasic.
Not only the plain DOSBox app, but DOSBox versions included in DBGL or Boxer will also be recognized as DOSBox binary source.

With Dapplegrey you can easily set options the DOSBox gives to you w/o having to enter them manually using the Terminal or have to edit the DOSBox config file. This file will be written before Dapplegrey tells DOSBox to start the DOS game.

The name Dapplegrey comes from the german word Apfelschimmel which originally means a white horse, ambiguous with the meaning of a rotten apple.

Tony and friends in Kellogg's land

DOSBox 0.73 introduced a new video card emulation, machine=vgaonly, which enables you to see the water color in 'Tony and friends in Kellogg's land'.

Get 'Tony and friends in Kellogg's land' from one of these locations:

Getting the Spinning Beachball while running DOSBox & Dapplegrey:

forcequit

If both applications, DOSBox and Dapplegrey, does not respond for a while, go to the Apple Menu and call the window „Force Quit Applications“.

This window can be also opened with Command-Option+Escape. If both applications together are marked with „(not responding)“, so simply force quit DOSBox alone, but not Dapplegrey (select the application DOSBox, click „Force Quit“ or press the return key to confirm this command).

Dapplegrey will be re-animated automatically shortly after force quitting DOSBox.

Where comes the name Dapplegrey from?

In the canteen of their firm the colleagues are taking their lunch.
A foreign colleague asks his german one:
„What is Schimmel?"
The german colleague replies: "A white horse, we call it Schimmel."
The foreign asks back: „What does white horse in jam glass?"

Like DOSBox, Dapplegrey runs on a PowerPC G3 including successor models with Mac OS X 10.4 and above.

Supporting the PowerPC G3 by Dapplegrey enables you still to manage an older version of the DOSBox port (v0.65 and newer) on your middle-ancient Mac. Compared to other Frontends, there is none DOSBox binary included with Dapplegrey.

Dapplegrey may be included in any CD-ROM shareware and freeware disks or mirrored at any download sites.
Please keep the application and its Readme files together in one archive file as shipped above.
