Install Death Gate on Mac OSX
I know that there are a ton of threads on installing Death Gate, and I have read through many of them. I apologize for my newness and general lack of understanding.
I am attempting to play Death Gate on a Mac OSX. I normally have been using the Boxer rather than DOSBOX to play all my other games. I have tried to get it to work using DOSBOX, but I am hitting the learning curve of both DOSBOX and whatever is going wrong with Death Gate at once. So I would love if someone could either give/point me towards Boxer instructions or some DOSBOX instructions meant for a Mac. Note on instructions for getting Death Gate to run via Boxer that I have found (http://wiki.herzbube.ch/index.php/DOSBox#Death_Gate) - would be an example, except things like : Create a new empty folder "Death Gate" Drop the folder onto "Drop games here to install them.app" Do not seem to work - boxer just rejects the empty folder. However I have created the disk image and that seems like it should make things easier if I can find the right place to put it. I am also willing to make another go at making it work with DOSBOX, but all of the step-by-step for newbs instructions I can find for making Death Gate work there seem to include things like " Move the DGATE folder (so it is only C:\DGATE)." which seem to be applicable only to a windows enviroment (Although I could be wrong - it is hard to know what I do not know) |

What that instruction should be is "Make sure Death Gate is in a subdirectory of whatever you are mounting as the DOSBox C drive and that this subdirectory is named 'DGATE' ". The root of the DOSBox C drive is whatever directory you have mounted as the DOSBox C drive - it's as simple as that. |
