Hi all, interesting! I am running GNU/Linux Debian on Pentium x86 PC. I came across DosBox as it is in Debian rep, so naturally I tried it out for first time tonight.
I have the original X-COM: UFO Enemy Unknown game, one of them on a CD diskette. So far in the DosBox emulator, I managed to mount dir C and CD-ROM dir D by typing:
mount c /home/username
and
mount d /cdrom -t cdrom
respectively.
I cd to D:\ and typed:
INSTALL.BAT
followed by
CDSETUP C:
It seems to worked fine, was able to setup sound & music. Then it stated in the DosBox emulator that I should type UFO to run the game. It didn't work and I seem to remember from MS-DOS day that setup will install a subdir C:\UFO where you'll run the game UFO. I cd to the DosBox's C:\ and found some files but no subdir C:\UFO and most importantly no executable for UFO.
It has been a long time since I have been using X-COM game, so please pardon me if I got it a little wrong.
Anyone has any idea what I did wrong?
