Boxer 4.2.0 Beta

Our 4.2.0 beta carries Boxer forward with the original Epic Pinball, Ultima Underworld, and X-COM demo gameboxes, an optional first-run copy into your games folder, the new two-glove thec0de icon, updated About credits, a bug-report form, and a fix for the (null) Preferences label and Accessibility Settings link on recent macOS versions. It also includes the gamebox close/reopen correction from upstream PR #82.

Compatibility: Universal Intel and Apple Silicon app, targeting macOS 12 or newer. This is a beta, not a stable 4.2.0 release. The exact ZIP was exercised on an M1 Mac running macOS 26.6.2: the DOS prompt accepted keyboard input and the bundled Epic Pinball demo reached its menu, closed, and reopened. Intel, M3 Pro, and older supported macOS releases still need device testing. The ZIP is ad-hoc signed, not Developer ID signed or notarized, so macOS may require a one-time manual Open Anyway approval. Older Mac downloads and their platform notes remain available.

Download the app ZIP and, if desired, the matching GPLv2 source archive with pinned dependencies below. The SHA256 file covers both downloads. Please report bugs through the issue template and review logs for private information before attaching them.

Boxer was created by Alun Bestor, carried forward by MaddTheSane, and uses work from the DOSBox and DOSBox Staging teams. This continuation is maintained by thec0de.com. Full 4.2.0 beta notes are included in the source.
