john.bosso: I'm seeking help to modify GOG game specific DOSBox scripts (Shortcuts built for Windows) for use on an Apple Silicon Mac.

I haven't gotten very far. I can get DOSBox-x to launch properly from the command line and pass it arguments to load the GOG "*.conf" files, but it hasn't worked and I'm a bit stuck.

I would like to use DOSBox-x as it is a native Arm application while DOSBox for Mac is an x86 "universal" binary that runs poorly.

Any advice?

Note that with both Dosbox-X and Dosbox-Staging, .conf files that were originally made for the original Dosbox will not always work properly because X and Staging have their own configuration settings as well.

It's ultimately a much better idea to use the config files that come with X and Staging instead, then manually change the relevant settings that you need.

Specfire42: Thanks to all so far.

I now have both DOSBox-x and DOSBox Staging installed and I can get the game to start using both, however, the conf files that GOG built have a ton of settings to enable the full game and I can't figure out how to load those conf files in either DOSBox version.

Thanks.
