Hello,
I'm trying to get Quake I and II* set up in DOSBox so that I can play both games with no trouble not just on Mac computers, but on Windows computers with crappy or no video drivers**.
I've been able to do the same thing with the DOOM games, but the problem with the Quake games is that they require CWSDPMI in order to function. But whenever I've tried to get a game and/or emulator that relies on CWSDPMI working on a Mac computer before (like ZSNES), DOSBox will crash. Also, I don't have quick and easy access to Mac computers because I only have Windows computers at home, and the only two libraries I know of that have Mac computers are far away, so I can only get to them occasionally...
Therefore, I wanna edit the dosbox.conf so that next time I have access to a Mac computer, it will run the Quake games with no problems, even with CWSDPMI. You guys think you'll be able to help me out with that?
One more thing, I have to use the official DOSBox v0.74 for WIndows and Mac from http://www.dosbox.com (Meaning no SVNs), because they're fully portable. In Mac's case, it reads the dosbox.conf that's right in the DOSBox app's directory (Why the hell do the new SVNs make it so that it doesn't anymore?) and in Windows case, it doesn't require any extra DLLs besides SDL and SDL_net...
*Yes, Quake II DOES run in DOSBox now: http://dk.toastednet.org/Q2DOS/
**Unfortunately, there are computers out there in this day and age that are like that: https://www.doomworld.com/vb/source-ports/885 … and-or-drivers/
