	Sep 13 2009	NAOH One thing that I like about Dapplegrey over Boxer, is that Dapplegrey allows me to easily tune the DOSBox session. As yet, I've not found an easy way to do that with Boxer. Boxer is an attractive and easy way of launching the games, but as different games make different requirements demands of the processor, graphic cards and audio hardware Dapplegrey gives me the customisability that I need.

	Jul 7 2009	KRIS BROWNE The problem with Boxer is that it hasn't been updated in half a year, is still tied to the old and much less nice Dosbox .72. I like the interface of Boxer better, but Dapplegrey is updated like every other week. (Version 2.4)		-1

FOOFOORABBIT As of the 10th, Boxer now uses DOSBox 0.73.

ALUN BESTOR (Not to hijack Dapplegrey's comments section, but...) Boxer is still in active development and as Foofoorabbit observed, recent betas now include DOSBox 0.73 - however, an official release is still some time away, and the betas lack niceties like localisation and rigorous testing. You can follow Boxer beta versions from the blog on the Boxer website.

FOOFOORABBIT No other DOSBox front-end holds a candle to Boxer. Boxer is bar none the best. And while the efforts from other developers are valiant, at the end of the day, Boxer still has the right idea -- making the Finder the actual front-end.

I don't want to rain on the Dapplegrey developer's parade (afterall, I'm sure some people like the Dapplegrey launcher), but there's something a lot more sexy about letting users create their own game bundles complete with icon and documentation, launched from the Finder.

	May 18 2008	TRM96 I really love this app, and have been using it for a while. The one thing I have to say I would like to see you package it in a dmg rather than a zip as its easyer to deal with on my windows boxx (witch is where I sometimes download the newest verison from), Other than that love the app, wish you made a Windows/Linux version of the app! :) (Version 2.0)		0

	May 18 2008	ARVIDTP the previous version worked fine, but in this version when i try to launch a game I get an error: "Dapplegrey have to quit because of an NilObjectExceptionErr (Object not found). Please tell the following line to the author: Subprogram: 'app.WriteConfChr'" (Version 2.0)		0

	Apr 6 2008	MEEGO Nice Dosbox GUI. The interface is a bit messy but it really gets the job done. Dapplegrey also has the simple merit of being in active development. Most of the other GUIs don't see a lot of updates these days. (Version 1.9.2b3)		0
