Dosbox has its emulator to run DOS, but afaik dosbox binary that starts up dosbox on Mac uses Rosetta on M-series Macs, and without Rosetta it simply won’t start and emulate DOS.


At least the ARM-based binary of DosBox-X (a variant of DosBox) runs natively and works great for everything I've thrown at it like old Apogee games, etc.

Wow that brings back some memories, but I was playing those games on a 386 running them on any hardware from this century must be absolutely trivial.


Oh yeah for sure. I used to play Commander Keen, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Major Stryker, etc. though it was on a 486 SX 25 MHz back in the day too!
