Version 0.8 | Release Date: 2008-10-25 | Download
  • More toys. Boxer 0.8 comes with 4 ready-to-play sample games, rounded out with a set of useful DOS utilities.
  • Drag-drop game installation. Drag CDs and game folders onto the new installer droplet to install and package them. Import a game’s CD so you can play the game without it. Increased DOS disk space lets those really big CD games install.
  • Smarter friendlier behaviour. Launch Boxer to browse your games folder now, instead of a DOS prompt. Sensible default locations in place of nagging questions. Game packages remember your CPU speed adjustments. Games on read-only drives are copied to ensure they can save their data.
  • Better Mac integration. Boxer now automatically supports non-US keyboards, scales the window better for large screens, and makes sure Spaces keyboard shortcuts don’t interfere with games. And if you have Growl, Boxer will show pretty notifications too.
  • More power-user features. Hold down Option as you launch a game package to choose a program inside it. Easily start IPX networks. [autoexec] blocks now let you run programs on auto-mounted drives.
  • ¿Habla Español? Boxer speaks Finnish, German, and now Spanish and Swedish too.
