Map only the F5 key to Video, then select all the modifier keys (mod1, mod2, mod3) from the bottom left corner. Ctrl + Alt + Fn changes the TTY on most Linux desktops, you might also want to change the modifier keys or use something like Ctrl + Shift + F5 (without Alt).

You're trying to run the exe-file from the root of the emulated C-drive. That's probably the issue. When you installed the game it probably put the game in e.g. C:\DREAMS So change your mount command and in DOSBox cd into the game directory.

I remember also having sound issues with MOO2. It could be fine for ~20 minutes, then suddenly the sound becomes garbled and it could stay like that or fix itself for a while until the same thing repeats again. I configured the game to use GUS for soundFX and MT-32 for music and I don't remember …

I have Linux Mint on my laptop and have no sound issues with either DOSBox SVN or DOSBox Staging. I even tested Screamer 2 (SVGA, non-Steam version) in fullscreen and sound was fine.

No patch needed. DOSBox already has a command to set the reported DOS version. Example (this will set it to 6.22): ver set 6 22 EDIT: I'm not sure about what DOS version Win98 has, 7.1 maybe?

I'm aware of tools like that. I don't think this is about booting multiple images. I assume only the first is bootable. The others may just contain ancillary/spurious packages, software, drivers etc. It will boot into a Ventoy menu where you can select any live-CD image you have put on the USB …

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html I have used …

As a kid I used to play some single player games in "co-op" mode. For example, in Wolf3D one would handle movement while the other took care of shooting and opening doors. 2D shooters were good for this as well (Raptor, Galactix, etc).

AMD cards aren't great on Linux, cause they gutted their driver team years ago and have only now begun rebuilding in the past few years. That's a bit unusual opinion. AMD GPU drivers are open source unlike Nvidia's drivers. Also, Nvidia hasn't been very actively developing their Linux drivers. Only …

You managed to mount the game CD in DOSBox. The same way you also have to tell DOSBox which location to use as the hard disk drive so you can install the game from the CD to the hard disk (or SSD). You said you want 'c :' or e: usb flash . So make a folder, for example: C:\Games\DOSBox then mount …
