johnnyv Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 I found mandrake rpms for it and installed on 9.0, didn't work on 8.2 without a newer kernel. I used freedos on it. Seems to work ok, will see if i can get some old dos games running on it. I know i have an old copy of privateer somewhere and redneck rampage.

Guest JaseP Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I would love to get Privateer working under Linux,... Especially if I could get Privateer 2 working,... I 'd love that. I also have Wing Commander 3 which would be a great game to play again, and some others,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 http://www.freedos.org/ Wait for the FreeDOS team to improve the project. I think when 1.0 releases we will have more or less the same level of functionality of DOS 6.22 environment. Right now it is 0.8x and does not support FAT32 yet (check update, perhaps there maybe progress on this). Also there's a DOS-CD ISO to download so you can get a trial of this before going thru any installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JaseP Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 FreeDOS has to be run seperately from Linux right?!?!? That's not at all what I want. I want an emulator that can run DOS programs from within Linux, complete with Svga and soundcard support. Dosemu is more along the lines of what I'm looking for.

zero0w Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Not really, I think you can run it within a Linux console or something. Just that the function is still limited by the free DOS kernel and utils, whether you are running it under Linux or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted November 20, 2002 Author Share Posted November 20, 2002 Dosemu sipmly makes a virtual environment for a version of dos to run in under linux. You need a version of dos to use dos apps. Freedos is recommended as you don't have to pay for it/find it. You could use a m$ version of dos. The reason to use Dosemu is that you don't have to dualboot to use a dos app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 BTW, johnnyv, can you tell us the link to where you find the dosemu rpms? I suddenly have a hunkering for a game of Ultima (the classics, not UO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
