Given that dosbox isn't being updated too often, you could always try using the system tools. If you have yum running, you could use that from a terminal (as root) yum install dosbox Or you could use whatever software installer is called on your version of Fedora (on my older version it's Add/Remove …

Dosfreak, there was a Humble Bundle about a month or two ago that had drm-free X-Com games in it. The X-Com Apocalypse I bought from that has a nearly identical layout except for having a capture sub-directory. Hadn't tried it till now. And didn't have any problems with saving. What sort of …

No guarantees that this will work, but there is a native version of Medal of Honor Allied Assault for Linux. Of course I don't know if it will work on the version that you have, as this installer is for the CD version. And given that it is about 8 years old, is probably set up for older distros. …

Personally I figure that the game is rare enough, that it isn't that much. And I suspect that if I were to find it on elsewhere, it'd probably cost more than $4 anyways. And haven't got around to playing it yet. Though this might urge me on

Bought a copy of Blade Runner (the Westwood game) a few months ago for $4. $1 per cd for the 4 cds. A bit of a surprise since the store has somewhere in the area of about 10 games or so.

Theoretically, you could use dpkg and the --force-depends option to force the install of a .deb file, but it can be a very, very dangerous thing to do. And should definitely not be done lightly. As in potentially breaking your system, or anything that depends on the package that is being replaced. …

I'm afraid I don't know what the switches are to compile 32-bit in 64 or else I'd tell you. I presume that you have the libSDL_sound dev package needed for compiling installed, so I suspect that the compiler may be looking for the 32-bit version instead and not finding it. The problem is that since …

I had similar trouble getting the gog versions of dungeon keeper and theme hospital running on Linux. After hours of searching, it turned out that dosbox needed to be built with SDL_sound support included in order to mount those type of images. I'm assuming that you have no way of loading the SDL_ …

My apologies if you've already tried this, but are you including "-t floppy" when you mount the floppy? In the past I have had trouble with some games not acting right when failing to use -t cdrom to mount cdroms, and it is likely that the same could be true for floppies.

You might need to add the option for the mount-point for the directory with the files from the cd with "-t cdrom" when mounting, as I remember one other game having the install program run differently depending upon whether it was running from something it thought was a cd or a hard drive.

I use Fedora, which uses Gnome, so I can't be certain how much use this will be. The first thing I suggest trying, even if I doubt it will help, is to check to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if it exists on your system, and see if any changes were made in it. Much more likely is that the DE has made the change …
