Dapplegrey
2.0.7
- "What does
white horse in jam
glass?"
- Control a wide
variety of DOSBox options by using this
Universal Binary
frontend.

|
|
Version
2.0.7
|
|
In the past
Dapplegrey checks the applications
folder and subfolders of the
Applications folder for DOSBox.app.
Now, if DOSBox can't be found there,
the frontend checks also its own
folder for DOSBox.app, before you
will be asked for it.
I hope the
function "Mount this folder as drive
C: " has been fixed now. At least,
if you re-allocate the game exe
file, the subfolders list (where you
choose the mount point of the
emulated Drive C:) will be
re-created now. Without that, this
function wasn't complete yet.
Other changes
are:
- When using
the non-official Universal Binary
port of DOSBox 0.65, the menu
command "Kill DOSBox" doesn't
work at all, so this menu command
will be deactivated now, if
you're using this version of
DOSBox. Unfortunately, if you've
installed multiple DOSBox
versions beside 0.65, there will
be still started another instance
of a newer version of DOSBox
without calling the DOS app you
wanted to run. If that happens to
you, just switch to DOSBox 0.65
by using Cmd-TAB keyboard
shortcut.
- If the
Keyboard shortcut window is open,
when DOSBox starts, that window
remains visible now.

What is
Dapplegrey?
|
- Dapplegrey is a frontend for the
MacOS X DOSBox port (which you can get from
http://www.dosbox.com/
) written in REALbasic.
- 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 name Dapplegrey comes from the
german word Apfelschimmel which originally means a
white horse, ambiguous with the meaning of a rotten
apple
- (assuming using a PC emulator like
DOSBox rots your Apple
Macintosh, which isn't
really true):
-
- 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:
Schimmel is a white horse."
- The foreign asks back: What
does white horse in jam glass?"
This explains why this application has
been called Dapplegrey.
- Although Dapplegrey runs on a G3
including successor model with MacOS 10.3 and above,
DOSBox itself requires a G4 or successor model with
MacOS X 10.4 and newer.
- Supporting the
PowerPC G3 by Dapplegrey enables you
still to manage an older version of the DOSBox port
(v0.65 or newer) on your middle-ancient Mac. There is
none DOSBox binary included with this frontend,
you've
to grab it
yourself.
Dapplegrey may be included in any
CD-ROM shareware and freeware disks. Please keep the
application and it's Readme files together in one
archive file.
