With Apple's official decision to kill off 32-bit applications from the current previews of macOS Mojave, I feel that DOSBox is losing it's charm.

Would anyone be considered creating a fork of DOSBox (Main & SVN Experiments) by replicating compatibility features from superior PC emulators, Like PCem & 86Box.

What would be your goal for the project? Something like a front end? Or better support for Win95?

The Front-end thing would be handy in mind. But Mainly For Just MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, or Windows 9x stuff.

No.

DOSBox supports 64bit but no one cares right now because MacOS still supports 32bit and MacOS market share is so low it's currently not that big of a deal even though the Internets makes it a big deal.

If you want start a new thread when you know what you are talking about. No need to create forks, create a patch for DOSBox and assuming it fits with the goals of DOSBox then it'll likely be included. If you don't give a crap about DOSBox goals then feel free to spam the pcem or 86box forums so they can throw a ton more things to the pile.
