Two different Tutorials (HowTo) start DOS Applications with DosBox on Dingux.
1.)
If you want to start different Dos Apps with only one Profile use VC!
Using Volkov Commander works really great (Download VC).
Make a dosbox.conf Profile for VC.
Add "exit" at the end of the dosbox.conf file.
[autoexec]
mount C /boot/game/DosBox/c_drive
C:
cd vc
VC.COM
exit
Start DosBox using vc profile.
In VC you can start all DOS Apps you have installed.
Keys for VC:
-Start = ENTER (start any exe,com File / change Folder / Quit / etc.)
-L = TAB (change to left/right VC Window)
-B = VC menu (here you can QUIT)
Thats all you need for VC.
2.)
If you wanna use different Profiles for DosBox using GMenu2X:
Create a Profile for every Dosbox App.
At the end of each profile add the Folder, the executable & exit.
[autoexec]
mount C /boot/game/DosBox/c_drive
C:
cd jjungle
JILL.EXE
exit
In GMenu2X add a Dosbox Icon and Edit the following options:
params=-conf
selectordir=/boot/game/DosBox/c_drive/
selectorbrowser=true
selectorfilter=conf
Your Gmenu2x "local\gmenu2x\sections\applications\dosbox" file should look like this:
title=dosbox
exec=/boot/local/apps/dosbox/dosbox
params=-conf
clock=400
gamma=100
backlight=100
selectordir=/boot/game/DosBox/c_drive/
selectorbrowser=true
selectorfilter=conf
Now you can Start DosBox and select an *.conf File to start.
thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
ReplyDeleteTook me a while to figure out, still dont know why.. Im using toddlers local dingux pack, and just to clarify to others who might be dealing whith the same thing; you have to mount like this:
C /usr/local/emulator/dosbox/c_drive
C:
cd whatever
whatever.exe
-write "usr" as first direktory - even though I dont see it anywhere
-create a new direktory named "c_drive" where you put your games.
-the .exe files can in be in other file formats, so check that out before launcing.
hope this is helpfull, Im a noob too ;-)
Thanks
