Whoever got dosemu2 working, can you please send me the following:

directory /sbbs/ctrl/.dosemu
files dosemu.ini dosemu.conf external.bat

scfg display of one of the dos program's configs.

Any other related/useful files I may have forgotten.


The wiki instructions aren't exactly working as advertised. I'l like to try and figure where I'm going wrong and make things a bit easier in future.

Thanks,

Thank you. I that really helped. Along with the dosemu2 dev, I now have Tradewars, Yankee Trader, Space Quest and all my other stuff working in dosemu2 without all that blurb when starting up.

I need to run a few more tests then I'll package it all up with instructions for anyone else who would like to give it a try.

Thanks,

I had updated the Synchronet wiki page for dosemu2 with the steps that allowed it to work for me. If there was something different/additional that helped you get it to work on your system, it might be good to add to the wiki page.

One thing I've noticed is that after a few days, dosemu2 will fail, and it typically has been reporting an error about too many file handles being open. I've noticed that rebooting my BBS PC helps that, but I'd like to find a fix that doesn't require restarting my PC.

Have you tried playing Yankee Trader for more than a few minutes to see how long it runs without crashing? Genuinely curious.

Just played for about 10 minutes. Seemed fine.

Is there an advantage to using this? I just grabbed a deb package from
an older ubuntu distro and it works on Mint 21.1.

Thanks!

As opposed to what?

If you're running your BBS on Linux, dosemu might be the only way to run DOS doors for your BBS.

If it works for you, then no, not really.

As opposed to his working system, I guess.
