[SOLVED] DosBox & dfend

Is there any news of Dfend being made available for Ubuntu?

It was a very useful frontend for DosBox in Windows.

Hi Artificial Intelligence,
Could you explain in a simple straightforward way on how to get the DosBox front end to work? Thanks.

Re: DosBox & dfend

I wrote an installation guide if that's you're looking for http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php/guides:64bit:dosboxgui

Note it's written for 64-bit, so in the "before installation" where it says "sudo aptitude install ia32-libs ia32-sun-java6-bin sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-bin" you simple just install sun java 1.6 normally on 32-bit.
