Dapplegrey Help

Starting Dapplegrey

DOSBox isn't included in Dapplegrey and needs to be installed separately. Like copying Dapplegrey into your Applications folder, it is preferred to copy DOSBox into your Applications folder as well. If an Application is provided on a Disk Image (*.dmg file), it is recommended to copy the Application into the Applications folder.
When Dapplegrey starts, it'll take a look into your Applications folder to find DOSBox or DBGL. If not found, Dapplegrey will ask for the location of DOSBox.
This can be set using the Preferences window as well.

When using DBGL as DOSBox source, Dapplegrey will only use DOSBox included, but not the game settings stored by DBGL.

Drag & Drop of DOS applications

If the file information of a DOS executable file (*.bat, *.exe, *.com) has been set to Dapplegrey, the file will be directed to DOSBox, using standard preferences of DOSBox. If DOSBox closes immediately, either the application may cannot be run in DOS mode or DOSBox won't use the language file given.
If you double-click a game that already has been added to the user's games list, Dapplegrey will also forward the settings of this game.

System requirements

Version 5.x of Dapplegrey requires an Intel-based Macintosh model with Mac OS X 10.6 or later installed.
