Mac ARM Error

 I downloaded the Mac ARM version and get a message saying the app "is damaged and can’t be opened." Any fixes?

I found the x86 version worked on my M2 Mac. Worth trying until the ARM one is fixed.

There’s been a discussion on GitHub about this problem https://github.com/schellingb/dosbox-pure-unleashed/issues/2

It turns out that on recent versions of macOS the operating system will put anything downloaded into a quarantine so downloaded programs can’t be run. To remove said quarantine-flag you will need to run a command in the terminal:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DOSBoxPure.app

After that it should run. I now wrote this information into the documentation into the Download section.
