Bochs does not provide a binary for macOS, requiring users to download the source code archive and compile the software. The steps involve configuring, making, and installing Bochs. Customization options are available during the configuration process, with detailed instructions in the Bochs User Manual.

To initialize the machine, Bochs necessitates a system BIOS and VGA BIOS, both included in the software package. Additionally, a sample bochsrc configuration file assists in customizing settings for optimal performance.

Through Bochs, users can run x86 operating systems like Windows or Linux on their Mac, simulating the full machine with standard peripherals support. However, the absence of a macOS binary makes the installation and configuration process somewhat challenging.
