  • latest dosemu2 in ppa breaks door games

    From nelgin@1:103/705 to All on Sat Jul 6 04:24:38 2024
    Hi all,

    If you're using dosemu2, you may find that doors no longer work since last week sometime when a change was made.

    The solution is to run dosemu2 with the -no-priv-sep settings. For those using up-to-date sbbs, you'll be able to add this into your /sbbs/exec/dosemu.ini file.

    The issue will be evident in your /sbbs/node?/dosemu_boot.log file. There'll be a permission denied error for the tty device.

    ERROR: SERIAL: Unable to open device /dev/pts/5: Permission denied

    Hope that helps someone out.

    Thanks. This is something that could probably go on the wiki: https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:dosemu2
