It's just a few lines, you could easily do the changes manually. Or download the diff-files and use the patch command in terminal: Copy code to clipboard 1 patch -p1 < backslash-fix.diff 2 patch -p1 < linux-fix.diff

I tried putting a DOS folder in my mounted folder and set a PATH for it, but that doesn't work. I even put a copy of COMMAND.COM in the root of the mounted C drive and I still cannot get to using PROMPT. I cna only assume that the COMMAND.COM in Z: is overriding everything else in PATH. Did you set …

Also, your mount command should be the same one you used when you installed the game. My guess it should be like this: mount c /users/student/downloads c: cd topgun topgun.exe

You can have some preferred default configuration that you load with the -userconf parameter. Then you can override some of the default options by loading another (partial) configuration file with the -conf option: dosbox.exe -userconf -conf C:\dosbox_cga.conf And the contents of dosbox_cga.conf …

Linux is case sensitive so the first thing to check is that GAME.INST content matches the filenames: Copy code to clipboard 1 FILE "game.dat" BINARY 2 TRACK 01 MODE1/2352 3 INDEX 01 00:00:00 4 FILE "keeper02.ogg" MP3 5 TRACK 02 AUDIO 6 INDEX 01 00:00:00 7 ...

That sounds like a compiler problem. I haven't tried building PCem for Linux but what if you built it with -O2 instead of -O3? Or with Clang instead of GCC? Good idea! With -O2 the crash happened immediately after clicking the "Load" button to start the OS. -O1 seems to be working, no crash. My GCC …

BTW, the crash seems to happen only with the release build so a quick fix is to compile the debug build: ./configure --enable-debug

The most difficult Pacman clone I've played: https://youtu.be/e2m0SUQZJ4s It's a "prank/joke" game. I think you're not even supposed to beat the 1st level. And I'm sure there are a lot of games with a similar idea.

System Shock 's interface was poorly-thought-out, unplayable garbage False, incorrect, not true, that's just your opinion. The control scheme System Shock uses is very similar to many RPGs of the time. There's even a fan made mod for mouselook if you absolutely need it. ...nowadays, we say System …

The glide2x.ovl that comes with ECE should work fine with nGlide. What I meant is that you need a glide2x.ovl that came with a real 3Dfx card drivers for the [pci] glide emulation option.
