>install DOSBox for Mac

Mind you there are countless DOSBox forks out there and the vanilla original one is probably the least interesting one.

Nowadays the three most popular one would be DOSBox-X, DOSBox Pure, and DOSBox Staging

I like DOSBox pure, because that allows you to put the full games into a single zip file and so you then essentially have the equivalent of per-game file on consoles.
