Hey all,
I'm trying to get DOSBox all setup on my mac but the autoexec section of the 'DOSBox Preferences' file is being completely ignored. Does anyone know why this is happening and where the batch file is actually stored?
Thanks,
Chris
which batch file? You enter whatever you want to be executed in the Dosbox Preferences. I could imagine, that you are editing the wrong one (simple test: change memsize and test with the command mem, whether this was changed when you start Dosbox up again).
Or set the cycles to 1234, and watch if "1234" shows up in DOSBox window title.

The Mac release of DOSBox doesn't make this clear, but you need to drop the "DOSBox Preferences" file into ~/Library/Preferences/. Then DOSBox will be able to locate it (and execute the commands you put in there).
Alternately you could try Boxer, which installs its own configuration files automatically to ~/Library/Preferences/Boxer/.

If it is not located in "~/Library/Preferences/", just follow my guide to Loading Config file. 😉
