[Ubuntu] Playing DOS Game In Ubuntu
Long time since I last play the computer games. I don’t know whether everyone feel the same, when I’m getting older, I have lost my interest in playing games, especially those strategy and online games that takes you a lot of time to accomplish.
But recently I have regained that interest and start looking for some very famous RPG games that I played before like 金庸群侠传 and 侠客英雄传. I know these 2 are very very old games, but I still enjoy playing it.
Since I’m using Ubuntu, so I have to install WINE and Dosbox in order to play the game.
1. To install WINE and Dosbox
sudo apt-get install wine dosbox
2. After installed WINE and Dosbox, use WINE to install the game
wine installer.exe
Eg:(Follow the wizard to complete the installation, if you are installing chinese game, change your gnome session to chinese in order to read the chinese character)
3. Once finish install the game, run dosbox
Goto Applications>Games>DOSBox Emulator
4. Then type the following command in DOSBox Emulator
- mount c /home//.wine ### Mount C to wine directory
- c: ### Change to C Drive
- cd DRIVE_C/PROGRA~1/JINGYONG/ ### Go to your game installed directory
- PLAY.BAT ### Execute the game
Eg:
5. Enjoy the game ^_^
*Note: If you encounter “DOS memory range unavailable” error, is because Linux kernel prevents programs (Wine) from accessing the first 64k of kernel memory. To solve this problem, run this command:
sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0

Yep, you can even play games like CS, half life, football manager and many more under Linux with wine installed.
