大量Mac使用者在DOS機器上長大，因此對玩經典DOS遊戲有著美好的回憶。 也許您甚至在抽屜中的某處有一些舊CD。 但是您的Mac不會開箱即用地執行舊遊戲。

However, aMac app called Boxer makes it easy to get those games running in macOS.We’ve talked about how to use DOSBox to run old apps and games on Windows computers, and DOSBox is available for Mac too. But if the Mac platform is about anything, it’s beautiful design that makes complex things simple. When it comes to running DOS games, Boxer embodies that perfectly. Built on DOSBox code, Boxer adds a beautiful interface and workflow that makes setting up your favorite classic games really simple.

但是，一個名為Boxer的Mac應用程式使在MacOS中執行這些遊戲變得容易。 我們已經討論了如何使用DOSBox在Windows計算機上執行舊的應用程式和遊戲，並且DOSBox也可用於Mac。 但是，如果Mac平臺適用於任何事物，那麼它的精美設計可以使複雜的事情變得簡單。 說到執行DOS遊戲，Boxer完美體現了這一點。 Boxer以DOSBox程式碼為基礎，增加了漂亮的介面和工作流程，使設定您喜歡的經典遊戲變得非常簡單。

Here’s a quick run-through of the process of installing classic DOS games using Boxer. It’s easier than you think.

這是使用Boxer安裝經典DOS遊戲的過程的快速瀏覽。 它比您想象的要容易。

使用Boxer安裝舊的DOS遊戲 (Installing Old DOS Games With Boxer)

First, download Boxer. The application comes in a ZIP file, which you can unzip just by clicking it. Next, drag the Boxer icon over to your Applications folder, or wherever you would like to store it.

首先，下載Boxer 。 該應用程式包含一個ZIP檔案，您只需單擊即可將其解壓縮。 接下來，將Boxer圖示拖到“應用程式”資料夾中，或拖到想要儲存的位置。

Now launch Boxer. You’ll see three main options; we’ll start by clicking “Import a New Game.”

現在啟動Boxer。 您將看到三個主要選項； 我們將首先點選“匯入新遊戲”。

If you’ve got a CD for the game you want to play, insert it and drag the drive from Finder over to the application. You can also drag over an ISO file of a ripped CD, or just a folder containing the installation files. In my case, I’m going to install Sim City 2000 from an external CD drive.

如果您有要播放的遊戲的CD，請插入CD，然後將驅動器從Finder拖到應用程式上。 您也可以將翻錄的CD的ISO檔案或僅包含安裝檔案的資料夾拖到上面。 就我而言，我將從外部CD驅動器安裝Sim City 2000。

Boxer will then ask you to find the installer, using a list of choices found inside the disk or folder. Typically it’s something like “install.exe,” but this will vary.

然後，Boxer將使用磁碟或資料夾內的選擇列表，要求您找到安裝程式。 通常，它類似於“ install.exe”，但這會有所不同。

Next, Boxer will launch the DOS-based installer. Follow the steps in the process. Boxer helpfully lets you know which sound drivers to use at the bottom of the window, so make sure you configure things properly when asked. The installation will run just as youremember it running back in the 90s.

接下來，Boxer將啟動基於DOS的安裝程式。 請按照過程中的步驟進行操作。 Boxer可以在視窗底部幫助您知道要使用哪些聲音驅動程式，因此請確保在詢問時正確配置了東西。 就像您記得90年代開始執行時一樣，該安裝將執行。

When the installation process is complete, you’ll be asked whether the installer ran properly or needs to run again. Click “Finish Importing” if you think the process is done.

安裝過程完成後，系統將詢問您安裝程式是否正常執行或需要再次執行。 如果您認為此過程已完成，請單擊“完成匯入”。

Now you can give a name for the game, and even an image.I recommend you find a box cover for your game using Google Image Search, then drag the image over to Boxer.

現在，您可以為遊戲命名，甚至可以命名為影象。 我建議您使用Google Image Search為遊戲找到一個盒蓋，然後將影象拖到Boxer上。

The result looks great, doesn’t it?

結果看起來不錯，不是嗎？

用拳擊手玩DOS遊戲 (Playing DOS Games With Boxer)

You can browse your games in the Finder: they’re in a folder called “DOS Games”, which is in your home folder.

您可以在Finder中瀏覽遊戲：它們位於主資料夾中的“ DOS遊戲”資料夾中。

Go ahead and launch the game you just installed. The first time you launch the game, you’ll be presented with a DOS-based command prompt. You can click the executable for the game from the choices in the bottom of the screen. In this case, “sc2000.exe” is what we’re looking for.

繼續並啟動您剛剛安裝的遊戲。 首次啟動遊戲時，將顯示一個基於DOS的命令提示符。 您可以從螢幕底部的選項中單擊遊戲的可執行檔案。 在這種情況下，我們正在尋找“ sc2000.exe”。

Once you do that, you will be asked whether you want this application to run automatically next time. If the game is running without issue, click “Launch Every Time.”

完成此操作後，系統將詢問您是否希望該應用程式下次自動執行。 如果遊戲正常執行，請單擊“每次啟動”。

The hard part is done!Now you can enjoy your game.

困難的部分完成了！ 現在您可以享受遊戲了。

配置Boxer使事情正確 (Configuring Boxer to Make Things Just Right)

While playing a game, your mouse and keyboard will be “captured” by Boxer. To use your mouse and keyboard outside the window, hold Command and click anywhere.

在玩遊戲時，Boxer將“捕獲”您的滑鼠和鍵盤。 要在視窗外使用滑鼠和鍵盤，請按住Command並單擊任意位置。

Once you do, you can check out Boxer > Preferences in the menu bar. From here you can change where Boxer stores your games, what Boxer does when it first opens, and configure a few display settings.

完成後，您可以在選單欄中籤出Boxer> Preferences。 在這裡，您可以更改Boxer存放遊戲的位置，Boxer首次開啟時的操作，並配置一些顯示設定。

Four main choices let you choose between smoothing out graphics or adding scanlines, which can imitate the look of a vintage computer monitor. You’ll also find means to add MT-32 ROMs to get the music of certain games working.

有四個主要選擇，您可以在平滑圖形或新增掃描線之間進行選擇，這可以模仿老式計算機顯示器的外觀。 您還將找到新增MT-32 ROM的方法，以使某些遊戲的音樂正常工作。

And that’s about it! You’ve now got an easy way to install any DOS game on your Mac. You could even install Windows 3.1 inside it.if you want to really go nuts. Enjoy!

就是這樣！ 現在，您已經可以在Mac上輕鬆安裝任何DOS遊戲。 您甚至可以在其中安裝Windows 3.1 。 如果您真的想發瘋。 請享用！
