Hi,
I'm running macOS 10.14.6 and DOSBox 0.74-3 and was having difficulty loading custom .conf files from the command line. I tried both of these:
open -a dosbox --args -conf custom.conf
open -a dosbox --args -conf ./custom.conf
where I was trying to launch DOSBox from the directory containing custom.conf. In either case, DOSBox would launch but instead load the default conf file in
~/Library/Preferences/DOSBox 0.74-3-3 Preferences
However, the following does work:
open -a dosbox --args -conf ~/path/to/my/dosbox/files/custom.conf
Anyway, not sure why this is happening, but it certainly was confusing. Maybe this info will be useful to others.
