Hello World! I've been using DOSBOX on my windoze pc. I recently bought an Asus eee pc that runs Linux. I installed DOSBOX with no problem (other than learning how to use linux). I copied a few old programs and games and they seem to work fine (duke nukem 2, 3by5, an old dos database program). I have installed and played Duke Nukem 3d on every system I have ever owned since 1996. The setup program worked fine, however, since the Asus eee pc dosen't have a cdrom drive, i've been trying mounting an image of the origional cdrom (ATOMIC15). I changed the duke nukem cd cdrom.ini file to point to a linux directory with the duke image. The old, familiar dos loading screen comes up. Its compiling the ".con" files etc. Its slow, but eventually I get to the "Thank you for buying and playing this game" screen with "Please put duke nukem 3d atomic edition cd in its drive." So, I put the image file on a flash drive that shows up as drive D. IT WORKED! However, it was slow and crashed. So...What to do? Thanks for any solution. I hope I can help someone install and run Duke. I would rather play any dos game than watch my Xbox error light blink all day!!!!
