I am running PoP1 & PoP2 in ubuntu, here's a small how-to:
Assuming your sound card is working fine: Get DosBox from synaptic. That's pretty much all you need. There is a small chance that it won't recognize your configuration file, like it did to me, so here's a solution:
| Code: |
#In a terminal, type:
mkdir ~/.dosbox
#Run DosBox:
dosbox
#In DosBox, type: (YOURUSERNAME stands for, well, your user name ;)
config -writeconf /home/YOURUSERNAME/.dosbox/dosbox.conf
exit
# Back to terminal:
cd ~
echo 'dosbox -conf ~/.dosbox/dosbox.conf' > ~/.dosbox/dosbox.sh
chmod u+x ~/.dosbox/dosbox.sh
# Then start dosbox with:
~/.dosbox/dosbox.sh
|
You NEED to start dosbox with ~/.dosbox/dosbox.sh, otherwise it will ignore your config file. You might want to edit the shortcut in the menu's, which by default is in Applications->Accessories->DosBox Emulator. To do that, right click on the menu on the top left, click edit menu's, go to Accessories and right click on DosBox Emulator, then click on properties. In the command field, click on browse and point it to the dosbox.sh file you just created.
Now your configuration file resides in a folder called .dosbox, in your home directory. Every directory whose name starts with a '.' is a hidden directory, so in order to see it in your browser make sure you have the option to view hidden files on (Just click on View->Show Hidden Files)
If you need a frontend to edit the conf file, like D-Fend, try DosBoxGui:
(I don't know how it works, I edit my config file manually, it's actually very easy)
http://losfinkos.googlepages.com/dosboxgui
It's written in tcl. Just get the zip, unzip it somewhere, and start it from a terminal with:
| Code: |
| wish PATH_WHERE_YOU_EXTRACTED_THE_ZIP/dosboxgui.tcl |
You will need of course a tcl interpreter to use wish, just get it from synaptic 
You're pretty much good to go after that, just get the PoP games you want and follow the same procedure that is used in windows
