If you’re running an OS not longer maintained by Apple, then support is on a best-effort basis (as the team runs supported configurations and may not be able to reproduce some issues).

Hardware requirements

The latest release is compatible with macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer and supports both 64-bit Intel and Apple silicon Macs.

Development snapshot builds

You can always see what’s cooking on the main branch!

These snapshot builds might be slow or unstable as they are designed with developers and testers in mind.

Apple Gatekeeper

For releases before 0.81.0, you’ll need to do the following when launching DOSBox Staging for the first time:

• Ctrl click (or right-click) on the DOSBox Staging app, and click Open.
• Click OK to close the resulting message.
• Open the app a second time (as per above); now Gatekeeper will show an Open button like this:

Explanation

Apple’s Gatekeeper feature only permits the running of notarized software, one aspect of which involves developers making yearly payments to Apple.

As DOSBox Staging is a volunteer effort, we were not in a position to make such payments prior to version 0.81.0 and therefore asked users to bypass Apple’s Gatekeeper manually.
