OS X: Boxer/DosBox Game Saves ?

[Washac]

When you play games under Boxer/DosBox where are the save games stored ?

[Washac]

So nobody knows then

Not in front of my mac, but i suspect it will be under your user's library folder somewhere.

Dos games usually stores games in the games own folder

Found them, hope they all do this.

Unless something has changed, they're saved wherever the C:\ is mounted. In Boxer, that's typically the folder with the .boxer extension appended to it (so it looks like a double-clickable file). In DOSBox, you have to mount C:\ manually through your config.

Yup.

The DOS games can't see anything other then the folders you've mounted as disk drives (this happens automatically in Boxer, see above). 99% of the time you'll have installed the game to a virtual C:\, so that's where the saves should go unless you entered in a different save file path if your game gives you that option (and again, DOS games can't see your Macintosh's disk drive or filesystem- they can only see the mount points you've setup or the emulator setup for you, so those are the only possibilities to save games to).

Thanks for the explanation.
