DOSBox Staging is a free and open-source emulator which, in the words of its own developers, offers a modern continuation of DOSBox, the most prestigious MSDos emulator for Mac. This modern version has advanced features and more up-to-date development practices. The software allows you to emulate virtually any DOS video game, without any complex configurations, and automatically adjusts the game resolution between 720p and 4K.

Running any video game is very easy

Although DOSBox Staging is very simple to use, some users may likely experience problems during the first and most complex phase of the setup process. For this reason, the emulator's official website offers a series of step-by-step tutorials, explaining how to install and run several different video games, with many images and examples. The most important step is to mount the disk drive, which actually consists of simply creating several folders within the emulator installation directory itself. It is very important to understand that the drive you mount to run your DOS video games has nothing to do with the actual drive on your Mac.

Tons of graphics enhancements for all your video games

In addition to its simplicity, DOSBox Staging stands out for the many additional features it offers at every level. On the visual side of things, the emulator correctly preserves the aspect ratio of all video games, regardless of your screen resolution; it also includes support for 3dfx Voodoo 1 cards and for titles using ReelMagic. It even has what its creators call Adaptive CRT Emulation, a feature that automatically chooses the best shader for each video game based on your own configuration. If you aren't satisfied with the chosen shader, you can change or modify it as you wish without issue.

Loads of additional audio-related features

One of the most characteristic aspects of many DOS video games is their sound. In this regard, DOSBox Staging also offers an excellent range of services. The program comes with MIDI support as standard and has built-in Roland MT-32 emulation. It also features advanced on-board speaker emulation and support for Innovation SSI-2001 and the IBM Music Feature Card (a little-used but high-quality sound card used in some early Sierra games). In short: your games will sound just as you remember them.

The best way to emulate DOS on Mac

Download DOSBox Staging if you want to enjoy some of the best video games ever, in the best possible way. Thanks to this powerful emulator, you can feel once more what you felt the first time playing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Prince of Persia, Wolfenstein or Sim City 2000, among many others.
