Dosbox :)

[weasel fierce]

I can finally play Battle Isle 2 again :D

Even with Dosbox, I have been unable to run this game under windows, due to memory issues. Ubuntu and Dosbox runs it like a charm.

Yup, I love that emulator!

I have installed Dosbox, but when I try to run, it shows this error:

dosbox: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libvorbisenc.so.2: invalid ELF header

Be sure to check out Dosemu as well, it doesn't emulate the processor so it can run even DOS games intended for pentium-class CPUs.

slux, are you using the Ubuntu Hoary package, or some other dosemu build? I haven't had much luck in getting anything other than text-based games running with it.

Isn't it wonderfully acid?

:twisted:

Even DOS emulation is better on Linux than it is on Windows... with the exact same emulator.

I'm able to run Strife - a Doom engine game - full speed! With the Windows version I had to frameskip to about 6 or 7 frames per second in order to do so, on the exact same hardware.

:mrgreen:

I have Shivers. It installs on msdos and win95, but the setup.exe is for win95, so how do I install it using the dos method in dosbox? The other games I have are the same I think. They are made to install on dos and win95/win3.1. This is my first time messing with dos games. I am a newbie about them. I also want to get doom for dos. How many doom games are there? I'm not sure which one(s) to get. Thanks.
