Hi,
I run dosemu version 1.4.0.7+20130105+b028d3f-1 on a debian machine. This binary is build for an older version of Debian and it's the last one that doesn't complain about DPMI. The next updates of Debian's dosbox can't run TW2002.
I suppose you could search for dosemu_1.4.0.7+20130105+b028d3f-1_amd64.deb -
it still can be downloaded from Debian web site, and try to install it via apt command. Linux Mint is Debian based so you may have a success.
Good luck!

I'd heard about that.. I suppose I could try searching for that and see if it works.

I searched for that and downloaded it, but when I install it, dosemu still says it's version 1.4.0.8 (even though the version in the filename says 1.4.0.7). I'm not sure why.. And TW2002 still complains about DPMI.
I've also tried running the non-DPMI version of TW2002, but it reports runtime error 208.

Do you have that .deb file anywhere?

DPMI. I've also tried running the non-DPMI version of TW2002, but it reports runtime error 208.

I have bnu fossil driver loaded in autoexec.bat and some other settings for the memory.
When I first start TW2002.EXE it complains about DPMI and exits. The next execute of TW2002 is normal and I can play in terminal. So try to start again tw2002.exe after the DPMI error.
My dosemu also repors version 1.4.0.8 - installed by dosemu_1.4.0.7+20130105+b028d3f-1_amd64.deb

Good luck!
