Now you can give a name for the game, and even an image. I recommend you find a box cover for your game using Google Image Search, then drag the image over to Boxer. Click “Finish Importing” if you think the process is done. When the installation process is complete, you’ll be asked whether the installer ran properly or needs to run again. The installation will run just as you remember it running back in the 90s. Boxer helpfully lets you know which sound drivers to use at the bottom of the window, so make sure you configure things properly when asked. Next, Boxer will launch the DOS-based installer. Typically it’s something like “install.exe,” but this will vary. In my case, I’m going to install Sim City 2000 from an external CD drive.īoxer will then ask you to find the installer, using a list of choices found inside the disk or folder.
You can also drag over an ISO file of a ripped CD, or just a folder containing the installation files. If you’ve got a CD for the game you want to play, insert it and drag the drive from Finder over to the application.
