hello there,

I tried to run DOSBox on my old iBook G3 (800 Mhz) with Tiger (10.4.11) and it won't run 🙁

I double-click on the icon and it only appears in dock for few seconds

This is written in console:

1dyld: incompatible cpu-subtype
2Dec 21 06:25:42 (my computer's name) crashdump[684]: DOSBox crashed
3Dec 21 06:25:43 (my computer's name) crashdump[684]: crash report written to: /Users/(my username)/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/DOSBox.crash.log

what's in the file:

1Host Name:      (my computer's name)

(it's more times there, it's just still the same)

I know you aren't exactly thirsty for supporting old system on old platform, but still, I think you should know

I guess it can be linking universal binary with non-universal libraries, but who knows

The current official version doesn't run on G3, but it runs perfect on my PowerBook G4 with latest Tiger version.

There is a G3 build at http://www.spam-filter.de/dosbox/dosbox_0.72_for_g3 which runs fine on my older PowerBook G3, created by the DOSBox team own official Mac porter, Rhoenie.
