DOSBox 0.72 for G3
I really never thought anyone could be that brave to use the official DOSBox distribution on a G3. The Vogons forums proved me wrong, though.
I had modified the compiler settings on the official binary to optimize the powerpc part a little more. The result is a working binary that renders a certain game I use for testing without hickups and glitches in the sound output on G4 and up - which is great! The big downside is that suddenly the G3 target wont compile anymore (no, it has nothing to do with Altivec).
Since I am already hosting a special G3 build for different DOSBox releases on this blog and the download counters are .. well.. somewhat equal to zero, I assumed that the interest in a G3-aware binary is non-existent. Well.. I was wrong..
So here is a G3-optimized binary of current DOSBox 0.72. The config file that comes with it is tailored down to meet the capabilities of a usual G3 Macintosh. Please report any troubles with it…
