Hi you 16-color-heads, ;D does anybody have experience with running Sierras AGI-games as well as selfmade AGI-games under Linux? I tried LAGII once with a selfmade game but it seemed to check the game-ID and told me 'maybe not an AGI-game'. I've read somewhere that Dosemu in combination with Sarien would give good results, but I havent tried that yet. Any other suggestions or tricks? My main interest is running a selfmade AGI-game under Linux. Sierras games seem to work fine with LAGII. |

er.. did you try Sarien? it has many Unix ports... claudio does all his development on Linux. X windows/ SVGALib, etc. dl the latest snapshot of 0.7.0-cvs and compile it.... you might be surprised! |

Last time I've used Sarien (0.4.10) it lacked a lot of functions which made the game playing practically impossible. (note for myself: try the latest version ASAP :-) However I haven't had any problems with DOSEMU (on the console, not X) and the "available" DOS Sierra AGI interpreters. Even the AGI Mouse works. |

Yeah, I tried Dos-Emulation too, and it seemed just like perfect for AGI-games. I will also have a look at Sarien as soon as I can. Does anybody have an idea how to put a selfmade game into a package that can be directly played under Linux? In order to have 2 versions for download available: one for DOS/Win and one for Linux? But I guess this question is maybe a bit stupid, because people familiar with Linux should have enough knowledge to get Dosemu working. ::) Anyway: If you have an idea for a "download and play"-pack for Linux, please tell me. b.o.k. |
| Helen | I guess you can make a DEXE (Directly executable DOS applications using dosemu), it is documented in DOSEMU readme. |
