What is that ??
When I begin a old dos game, DosBox gives me that signal and closed.
"Fatal signal:Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployer)"
How can I fix it and make the game run?

does it display chinise characters ? when working ? That might be a problem. as dosbox has little experience in that matter.

you mean this game ?
Well it runs in my version of dosbox. So I advise you to wait for the next verson of dosbox.

it needs the directory mounted as -t cdrom and ems=true

Correction it runs in 0.61 as well

I've mounted it as follows
mount c /home/qbix/dosgames
mount d /home/qbix/dosgames/ord -t cdrom

started it from c:\ord
selected the last entry in the menu (what ever that maybe (something without cd.) and started the game.

As that might be something to remember for other people with problems
